NYUAD decodes Arabic texts
|
Washington, USA (NYUNews): With a grant from NYU's Abu Dhabi Institute, NYUAD Institute faculty director Philip Kennedy hopes to broaden knowledge of classical and medieval literature among both scholars and amateurs. "There is a great chasm of ignorance in the West about classical Arabic literature," Kennedy said. "Apart from 'The Arabian Nights,' few people, relatively speaking, have read or know anything about pre-modern Arabic literature."
Kennedy's project, the Library of Arabic Literature, will feature a vast, growing collection of Arabic texts in translation.
