Dr. J.R. Osborn<\/a>, CCT core faculty member,\u00a0was in Chicago on April 4 – 5 to speak about his new book,\u00a0Letters of Light:\u00a0Arabic Script in Calligraphy, Print, and Digital Design.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The first event was at the\u00a0<\/span>Newberry Library<\/a>, where Dr. Osborn had had a research fellowship in 2007. The talk, titled\u00a0<\/span>Arabic Scripts and Religious Change: 1450-1700 and Beyond<\/em><\/a>, contributed a “comparative component to the Newberry\u2019s theme of Religious Change, 1450-1700.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The second event was at the University of Chicago’s Seminary Co-op bookstore<\/a>, and co-sponsored by the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. The seminary Co-op also published a blog post, “J.R. Osborn’s Critical Reads,<\/a>” recommended books related to his interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
