Currently I am engaged in a number of projects, several in
collaboration with Jamil Ragep.
The Islamic Scientific Manuscripts Initiative ( ISMI) is ongoing; its mission is to make
accessible online information on all Islamic manuscripts in the
exact sciences. ISMI has recently moved from McGill University in
Canada to Medeniyet University in Istanbul; collaboration with
colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science
in Berlin continues. We hope to expand the project in the coming
months and years and encourage scholars interested in contributing
to the
project to contact us: sally.ragep@mcgill.ca
