A new FWF project: "Inscribing Authority: Islamic Rule in Central Asia (10th-13th Centuries) As Reflected in Monumental Epigraphy", conducted by Dr. Viola Allegranzi, is starting at the IFI! The project will look at 10th-13th century Islamic epigraphy in central Asia, and the textual and visual communication strategies it reflects on the part of rulers from that period.

The principles of this project include looking at the epigraphy both as texts and as artefacts, looking at the ways in which these inscriptions took up and used space and attempted to achieve recognition from local communities and power brokers. The project will build an open access database to help facilitate comparative analysis and connect inscriptions to people and places we know of from other sources.
