Presentation

 

Fabrizio Speziale is Professor at the EHESS. After a PhD at the EHESS in 2002, he conducted research and taught in various institutions, including the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, the French Research Institute in Iran, Heidelberg University and Copenhagen University. He held a chair at the CNRS (2010-2015) and was associate professor in Persian Studies at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3 (2010-17).

His current research focuses on the Persian culture of South Asia and the history of Persian sciences in the Early Modern and Modern periods. He heads up the project entitled “Perso-Indica. Analytical Survey of Persian Works on Indian Learned Traditions.” The goal of Perso-Indica is to constitute an analytical repertory of the Persian sources on Hindu knowledge systems, including the treatises and translations written and carried out between the 13th and 19th centuries. This research program aims to propose a new epistemic vision of the history of intellectual and textual contacts between Muslim culture and non-Muslim learned traditions. Perso-Indica is available as an on-line academic publication (see www.perso-indica.net).
