A COURSE IN MAMLŪK NUMISMATICS

At the suggestion of colleague Jere Bacharach, Marlis J. Saleh, Bibliographer for Middle East Studies at the University of Chicago Library forwarded this announcement of an upcoming course in Mamlūk Numismatics. Thanks. -Editor

Following our earlier announcement of the third conference of the School of Mamluk Studies to be held in Chicago, and its accompanying three-day course in numismatics, we would like to once again remind everyone of the course and the procedures to register for it.

Intensive course: Mamlūk Numismatics
A three-day intensive course in Mamlūk numismatics intended for advanced graduate students and other qualified participants will be offered by Professor Warren Schultz (DePaul University, Chicago, Illinois) and will be held immediately before the third conference of the School of Mamlūk Studies held at the University of Chicago (June 20–22, 2016).

A reading knowledge of Arabic is required. The course will be demanding and hands-on in its format, but no previous numismatic experience is required.

Since the number of participants will be limited (a maximum of 15), those who desire to take part in the course are requested to submit a CV, a statement of purpose, and a letter of recommendation by someone familiar with their work to [sms2016chicago@gmail.com] by the end of January, 2016. Those who are selected for the course will be notified by the end of February, 2016, at which time information about the method of payment for the course fees will be provided.

The course fee is $300.00, which also includes the registration fee for the subsequent conference (June 23–25) as well the cost of the annual SMS social dinner. The fees must be paid by April 30, 2016. Registration and participation are not confirmed until payment is received. Participants must make their own travel arrangements. The local organizer will provide suggestions for lodging at an affordable price. A certificate of attendance will be awarded.
