Forelesningen har tittelen ”Printng Culture of Ancient Central Asia”, og vil spesielt dreie seg om uighurenes innsats for ? utbre buddhismen i Sentralasia i middelalderen.
Den andre er kanskje av st?rre interesse for Tyrkia- og tyrkiskinteresserte, og vil inng? i serien av Senter for Midt?stens fredagsforelesninger fredag 23. september kl. 12.15–14 i Eilert Hunds hus, aud. 6. Foredraget har tittelen ”Uighur Tradition of History Writing,” og resymeet lyder som f?lger:
In this lecture, Professor Yakup shall first place the Uighurs on the linguistic and historical map. Further, he will go through the rich documentation of their history written by the Uighurs themselves. This includes their own description of the introduction of Manichaeism as state religion, political and commercial relation to neighbouring nationalities, conflict between different religions, etc. The analysis will mainly be based on the rich manuscripts kept in the German Turfan collection in Berlin as well new findings in China, which demonstrate the cultural richness of Xinjiang through the ages.?
