The project “Agriculture and the Making of Sciences” holds a primary source reading group where we invite scholars from both within and outside our institute to read, translate, and discuss selected primary sources. For this winter semester we will translate and compare two fourteenth-century agricultural treatises: (1) Nongsang yishi cuoyao in Classical Chinese from the Mongol-Yuan dynasty and (2) Al-Filāḥa al-Muntakhaba [Selected Agriculture] in Arabic from the Mamluk period. Our ambition is to compile and publish a collaborative critical edition of these manuscripts in a single volume.
