The study applies a precise methodology that puts various disciplinary approaches on the same level in order to relate and interconnect textual, material and historical-cultural aspects. Specific codicological characteristics are considered in correlation with the broader manuscript tradition to which the fragments belong. The discussion of the Gospel lectionary leads to reflections on the transmission, reception and development of a specific body of religious knowledge, namely that of the Church of the East.

The venue is a historic palace at the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the old city of Naples and the program includes 6 lectures and 4 round tables with internationally renowned scholars of the field. This format is aimed at encouraging discussion and scholarly networking. Included in the Summer School are a guided tour of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Herculaneum, or the ‘Neapolitan Turfan’, and a special visit to the Villa of the Papyri, where a library of around 2000 papyri was discovered in 1750 (normally closed to the public).
The Summer School is built on the expertise of the project “Cultural interactions and language contacts: Iranian and non-Iranian languages in contact from the past to the present” funded as a Research Project of Relevant National Interest (PRIN) in Italy, directed by Ela Filippone (University of Tuscia).
