International conference on the Quran entitled T
From April 19-21, 2009 the University of Notre Dame will host an
international conference on the Quran entitled The Quran in Its Historical
Context. Like the 2005 Notre Dame Quran conference (the papers of which
are published with Routledge as The Quran in Its Historical Context), the
2009 conference is dedicated to an examination of the Qurans relationship
with the historical circumstances in which it emerges and with the larger
literary tradition especially Biblical in which it participates.
Particular attention will be paid to the relationship of the Quran to
Syriac Literature (and, among other things the theories of Christoph
Luxenberg). The keynote speakers of the 2009 Notre Dame conference will
be Profs. Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd and Robert Hoyland. Fr. Sidney Griffith
will also present a paper. All are welcome to attend.
For more information please visit the conference website:

The conference poster is available on my personal website:

International Ballad Conference
The next International Ballad Conference will take place in
Minsk, Belarus, July 13-18, 2009. The organizer of the
conference, Alexander Morozov, would like to expand this
conference to include more general folklore topics and has
asked me to make this call.
The conference will be titled: World Folk Heritage: Past,
Present, and Perspective Directions of Research
Suggested paper topics include, but are not limited to:
1) The history of intercultural interaction in folk and
ballad art
2) National varieties of cultural values, values rooted in
tradition and currently undergoing transformation
3) Universal values of traditional folk cultures as a basis
for communication and cooperation
4) The art of the ballad in world folk heritage: plots,
types, poetic forms.
Abstracts of up to 300 words together with requests for
equipment should be submitted by February 28, 2009 to Prof.
Morozov at _morozoff_@tut.by. Please also provide
author's address, affiliation, contact details and a
brief CV
Conference will take place in the Humanities Building of
the National Academy of Sciences in Minsk and accommodations
will be at the Akademicheskaia hotel (prices 30-50 euros per
night). Conference registration of 50 euros is payable on
site. It is anticipated the conference registration will
take place in the afternoon of July 13 and that the program
will begin at 10AM on the 14th. An excursion is planned for
the 15th and a visit to the National Library is planned for
the 17th. A conference banquet will be held on the evening
of the 17th.
Minsk is easily accessibly by air and by ground
transportation.
Languages of the ballad conference in the past have been
English, French, and German. The memo I got from Prof.
Moroz says nothing about conference languages, but I assume
they will be the same, plus perhaps Russian and/or
Belarusan.
Prof. Morozov is the contact person for more information
although I can probably answer some of your questions.

BiblIndex
The BIBLINDEX project is carried out by the "Institut des Sources
Chretiennes", part of HiSoMA (CNRS UMR 5189). Biblindex is funded mainly by
the "Cluster 13" of the Rhone-Alpes Regional Council and by the "Maison de
l'Orient et de la Mediterranee-Jean Pouilloux". The first stage of the
project is completed. An index of approximately 400,000 biblical quotations
and allusions from Greek and Latin patristic texts of the first five
centuries (and also St. Bernard of Clairvaux) is now available online .
This index is essentially a resumption of:
-- published volumes of Biblia Patristica, CNRS Editions, 1975-2000.
-- archives of the "Centre d'Analyse et de Documentation Patristique" (CADP)
concerning Athanasius of Alexandria, Cyril of Alexandria, John Chrysostom,
Theodoret of Cyrus, Procopius of Gaza, Jerome.
It is the first step for a comprehensive index of all biblical references
from patristic writings. Technical improvements are still necessary. In
November, we applied for a grant from ANR, a project-based funding agency to
advance French research.
To search references in Biblindex, you can open a user account on the site :

Portals, Pathways, and Peregrinations: Concepts of Mobility and Exchange in the Long Middle Ages
Portals, Pathways, and Peregrinations: Concepts of Mobility and
Exchange in the Long Middle Ages
4th Annual Medieval Studies/Pearl Kibre Medieval Study
Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference
March 27, 2009: CUNY Graduate Center, New York
Over several hundred years, the medieval world saw increased
movement, mobility, and exchange, as well as greater flexibility in
the way these concepts were conceived. From the late Roman Empire to
the eve of the Reformation, the fragmentation and consolidation of
empires and shifting role of religion led to new contacts between and
among people and institutions. Meanwhile, the expansion of networks
of trade led to growth of cities and the development of new social
classes. Saints¢ cults, which emphasized specific towns or
monasteries as particular loci of power, contributed to this movement
and exchange by developing the concept of pilgrimage and facilitating
the collection and translation of relics.
The changing landscape of the medieval world led to an increasing
complexity in human relationships. Whether in the political and
economic conflicts between the entrenched nobility and the nouveau
riche, or in the religious conflicts resultant from the proliferation
of heterodoxical or heretical groups, the Middle Ages involved
constant attempts to renegotiate and redefine relationships among
people and power structures.
We invite papers from graduate students in all academic disciplines
that address the role of movement, mobility, and exchange from late
antiquity through the early modern period. How do these concepts
intersect? How did the changes in economics, politics, religion, and
society affect and relate to each other? In what ways did medieval
literature make sense of these shifts and probe interactions with the
Other?
Topics may include but are not limited to:
currency

Exchange in the Long Middle Ages
4th Annual Medieval Studies/Pearl Kibre Medieval Study
Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference
March 27, 2009: CUNY Graduate Center, New York
Over several hundred years, the medieval world saw increased
movement, mobility, and exchange, as well as greater flexibility in
the way these concepts were conceived. From the late Roman Empire to
the eve of the Reformation, the fragmentation and consolidation of
empires and shifting role of religion led to new contacts between and
among people and institutions. Meanwhile, the expansion of networks
of trade led to growth of cities and the development of new social
classes. Saints¢ cults, which emphasized specific towns or
monasteries as particular loci of power, contributed to this movement
and exchange by developing the concept of pilgrimage and facilitating
the collection and translation of relics.
The changing landscape of the medieval world led to an increasing
complexity in human relationships. Whether in the political and
economic conflicts between the entrenched nobility and the nouveau
riche, or in the religious conflicts resultant from the proliferation
of heterodoxical or heretical groups, the Middle Ages involved
constant attempts to renegotiate and redefine relationships among
people and power structures.
We invite papers from graduate students in all academic disciplines
that address the role of movement, mobility, and exchange from late
antiquity through the early modern period. How do these concepts
intersect? How did the changes in economics, politics, religion, and
society affect and relate to each other? In what ways did medieval
literature make sense of these shifts and probe interactions with the
Other?
