Speculum arabicum. Intersecting perspectives on medieval encyclopaedism

Summary Research on medieval encyclopedism has generated excellent results in various fields so far, but it still suffers at times from a propensity for compartmentalization, with the result that Arabists, Byzantinists, Latinists, and Romanicists are only rarely involved in common schemes. With this regard, the project ?Speculum Arabicum: Objectifying the contribution of the Arab-Muslim world to the history of sciences and ideas: the sources and resources of medieval encyclopaedism? was funded from 2012 to 2017 by an ARC- Actions de Recherche Concert es at the Universit catholique de Louvain. The present volume includes 13 papers presented at the closing international symposium of the project.
