SUMMARY:'Master of the Oriental Tongues': A Syrian Christian in Eighteenth-Century Germany
DESCRIPTION:‘Master of the Oriental Tongues’: A Syrian Christian in Eighteenth-Century Germany \nPublic Lecture by Dr Simon Mills (Newcastle University)  \n8 June 2022\, 16.15 CET  \nRoom 6B-0-22 – University of Copenhagen \nFor online participation register here: https://ucph-ku.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5AkdOqprzIoH9QbapLelqwvSez35WUXA1Dz \nThis lecture is dedicated to the life and legacy of Shukrallah al-Dadikhi (c.1694–1734)\, an Arabic-speaking Christian from Aleppo. In his early teens he left Syria to study in Paris with the Jesuits\, then commenced a journey which would take him from Rome to Geneva\, through Germany to Halle\, and back across Europe to London\, where he died without seeing again the land of his birth. Reconstructing his travels and career will illuminate the ‘Catholic and Protestant Orients’\, two interconnected worlds of Jesuit schoolmasters\, Syriac studies at the Vatican\, German bibliophiles with a passion for the Qur’an\, and the Reformed missionary societies of Pietist Prussia and Protestant England. Yet at the centre of the story is Dadikhi himself – a man whose secret eluded both his contemporaries\, and a series of twentieth-century scholars.
