Feb 6, 2019ISMI: Eine Ressource des 21. Jahrhunderts für islamische wissenschaftliche Manuskripte
No 60
Die Islamic Scientific Manuscript Initiative (ISMI) startete vor mehr als zehn Jahren mit der Mission, Informationen zu allen islamischen Manuskripten der exakten Wissenschaften zugänglich zu machen – egal, ob diese auf Arabisch, Persisch, Türkisch oder in anderen Sprachen verfasst wurden. Zehntausende wissenschaftlicher Manuskripte, die sich weltweit in Bibliotheken und Archiven befinden, sind derzeit noch ungelesen und die Fragen zu ihrer Autoren-, Kopisten- und Leserschaft wie auch ihrem historischen Kontext damit unbeantwortet. Die ISMI-Datenbank ist eine elektronische Ressource, die es möglich machen soll über das Studium einiger weniger Personen und Manuskripte hinaus zu gehen und die islamische Wissenschaft als ein soziales Unterfangen zu betrachten.

ISMI: A 21st-Century Resource for Accessing Islamic Scientific Manuscripts
No 60
The Islamic Scientific Manuscript Initiative (ISMI) started more than ten years ago with a mission to make accessible information on all Islamic manuscripts in the exact sciences, whether in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, or other languages. Tens of thousands of scientific manuscripts located in repositories worldwide currently remain unread, leaving questions about the authors, copyists, and readers and their historical context unanswered. The ISMI database was created as a resource to go beyond the studies of a few individuals and manuscripts, and to view Islamic science as a social endeavor.
