Alba Fedeli’s talk covers the history of the Mingana Collection of Middle Eastern Manuscripts, how it came to be at the University of Birmingham and some of the recent discoveries and highlights of the collection, including Ancient Qur’anic Fragments.  

With more than 3,000 manuscripts in over 20 ancient languages on subjects from philosophy to mathematics, the Mingana Collection holds a wealth of information on the history and cultures of the Middle East.
