Intensive Summer School on Comparative Habsburg-Ottoman Paleography – III
7 – 18 July, 2025, Vienna, Austria | Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institute for Habsburg and Balkan Studies (IHB)
The Institute for Habsburg and Balkan Studies (IHB) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences is pleased to announce the third installment of its Intensive Summer School on Comparative Habsburg-Ottoman Paleography. This two-week intensive program is dedicated to the comparative study of early modern (1500–1800) Habsburg and Ottoman primary sources.
Paleography courses encompass the study of various scripts in the target languages, the utilization of diverse source materials, the examination of intricate linguistic structures, and the critical analysis of primary sources.
Held at the centrally located Austrian Academy of Sciences in the 1st District of Vienna, the program features morning classes led by experienced instructors and afternoon lectures by distinguished scholars. Additionally, participants will engage in guided visits to Austrian archives (HHStA, ÖNB), selected museums, and a historical tour of Vienna, highlighting sites directly and indirectly linked to Ottoman-Habsburg history.
Course content: The summer school does not follow a specific thematic focus. Morning sessions will begin with foundational instruction in paleography, covering a broad range of scripts in both languages. One morning session will be devoted to introducing digital humanities, with an emphasis on TEI editing. Afternoon lectures will adopt a methodological approach, emphasizing the analysis of primary sources. Participants will explore a wide array of topics related to the history of interactions and exchanges between the Habsburg and Ottoman worlds.
Course program and lectures: The program is divided into two weeks: the first week (July, 7 – 11) will focus on Habsburg sources, while the second week (July, 14 – 18) will concentrate on Ottoman sources. Each day will include morning classes led by instructors, consisting of approximately four 50-minute sessions running from around 9:00 to 12:30. In the afternoons, field experts will deliver source-based lectures, offering in-depth insights into the materials studied.
