The late 18th and early 19th century presented an age of exploration in German Academia. Scholars travelled the world in order to explore quite often financed by local princes in Germany who wanted to excell with their collections and outshine their neighbouring principalities. Inspired by his famous study collegue Alexander von Humboldt and his travels to South America, the scholar Ulrich Jasper Seetzen from the town of Jever convinced the prince of Gotha in Thuringia to provide him with funds to travel to Arabia and buy objects and manuscripts. The presentation will especially concentrate on the years Seetzen spend in Cairo and give an overview of the still understudied Gotha collection which hosts a lot of research possibilities for international scholars.
Albrecht Fuess studied History and Islamic Studies at the University of Cologne and Cairo University. He obtained his Ph-d in Cologne in 2000 with a dissertation on the history of the Syro-Palestinian coast in the Mamluk era (1250-1517).
Since 2010 he is a Professor of Islamic Studies at the Center for Near and Middle Eastern Studies (CNMS) at the Philipps-University Marburg.
He is currently working on a project comparing the system of governance of Mamluks, Safavids, and Ottomans in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Together with Nicolas Michel (IFAO/AIX) he co-directs the ANR-DFG project EgyLandscape: Exploring Egypt’s Landscapes During the 13th-18th Centuries, www.egylandscape.org
Séminaire Qira'ât
The seminar "Reading historical documents from Egypt, Medieval till modern times", "Qira'at", literally means "readings, interpretations", is organized by Magdi Guirguis and Frédéric Abécassis who invite researchers who can express themselves in Arabic and present documents they comment. The presentation is usually followed by comments from the organizers and a discussion with the audience.
