Building Inscriptions and Calligraphic Material from the Golden Horde Period and the Crimean Khanate

Lieu : Institut d’art et archéologie, 3 rue Michelet Paris 6ème. Salle Doucet (1er étage)

Horaire : 12h-14h

Résumé (conférence en anglais) :

Crimea was an important center of the Golden Horde Khanate and later the core center of the Crimean Khanate. Among the most important remains testifying to this past are inscriptions on numerous buildings and gravestones. This lecture aims to present a short overview of the Turco-Islamic inscriptions in Crimea (14th–18th centuries) and, focusing on some specific examples, to discuss such further dimensions as information on patronage and the selection of passages from textual sources and their placement on edifices. Parallels and differences to inscriptions in other regions of the Islamic world are also part of the investigation.

Organisation : Maxime Durocher (Sorbonne Université)
