From Marburg to Gotha

As part of the visit from the University of Marburg to the city of Gotha, we had the unique opportunity to explore one of the most important manuscript libraries in Europe for Arabic and Islamic Studies. The Gotha Research Library, with its exceptional collection, especially those acquired by Orientalist Ulrich Jasper Seetzen in the early 19th century, remains a central hub for scholars worldwide. This visit offered valuable insights into the preservation and study of Arabic heritage in Germany.
