The second day of the international symposium on “Ownership and Dissemination of Manuscript Works: Imam Bukhari and Hadith Manuscripts,” held at the Center, continued in an atmosphere of high scholarly engagement and featured a series of substantive and insightful presentations.
During the sessions of this day, manuscript heritage was analyzed using new scholarly approaches, and certain copies of Hadith manuscripts—particularly the various transcriptional versions of Sahih al-Bukhari from different periods and regions—were examined and compared from an academic perspective.
During the presentations, it was emphasized that ownership notes in manuscripts are not merely indicators of possession, but also important markers of the development of knowledge, the culture of book reading, and the preservation of intellectual heritage. Scholars highlighted that these notes provide valuable insights into the interactions of past scholars, practices of book exchange and authorization, as well as the relationships between medieval academic schools, the activities of book owners, and the geographical circulation of manuscripts.
The discussions also addressed the integration of scholarly research, the creation of a manuscript database, and the enhancement of international collaboration among researchers.
According to the symposium participants, the conference not only contributes to a deeper study of Imam Bukhari’s heritage but also marks a new stage in the investigation of manuscript culture within the Islamic world.
The second day of the event, rich in scholarly discussions, further clarified the overall focus and objectives of the symposium, providing participants with new academic insights and opportunities for collaboration.
The international symposium will continue its sessions on October 16.
