The three-year KAKEN-research project Traditions of Magic in the Medieval and Early Modern Islamicate World and Europe will be funded by a grant from the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science and the Ministry of Education. The project addresses the interactions of various traditions of magic, astrology and alchemy between the Islamicate world and Latin Europe during the medieval and early modern periods. The project will reinforce scholarly networks via a series of publications and workshops, and a major international conference will be organised in Kyoto in 2024 to commemorate the works of Keiji Yamamoto, a historian of Arabic astrology. Besides Liana Saif, members of the project are based at Japanese institutions: Seigakuin University, Jichi Medical University and Senshu University.
