Anthony Lappin's Visit

On Tuesday the 26th of May, our Centre of Excellence held this spring term's last monthly meeting. The event was organized as a research seminar under the title 'Recognition in and of the Qur'an'. The first talk was given by Professor Anthony Lappin whose research has focused on medieval religious history and literature with a particular interest in hagiography, monasticism and especially Christian - Muslim relations.

After Professor Lappin, Jari Kaukua who is a member of our CoE's team 2, and works at the University of Jyväskylä, also gave a talk.
