The main task of Arabic papyrology and diplomatics remains to provide access to competent editions of unpublished documents on papyrus, parchment, and paper. In 2017, researchers added 48 editions of pre-modern Arabic documents to the database: nine letters (nos. 24, 30, 56, 62, 63, 67), a tax receipt (no. 66), a list (no. 52), ten legal documents (nos. 48, 49, 68, 69), six amulets, prayers, and astronomical texts (nos. 5, 43, 57), and 21 writing exercises of letters and religious texts (no. 7). Most texts come from Egypt during the classical period of Arabic papyrology (8th-11th c.). Exceptions are no. 5 from Iran and nos. 48 and 49 from the Ḥaram collection in Jerusalem. An edition of a ḥadīṯ on papyrus (no. 47) and an edition of three early modern Arabic letters (no. 46) complemented these editions. Two papers present documents that survived in "literary" manuscripts (nos. 29, 31). Judaeo-Arabic documents from the Geniza were edited in nos. 18, 34, 35, 36, and 38. From the neighboring fields of Greek and Coptic papyrology, Remark: An up-to-date overview on publications in the fields of Arabic papyrology and diplomatics can be found on the homepage of the International Society for Arabic Papyrology (ISAP, www.naher-osten.lmu.de/isap), on the homepage of the Munich research group "Arabic Papyrology" (www.naher-osten.lmu.de/papyrologie), and via ISAP's mailing list
2013 Arabic Papyrology and Early Islamic Egypt
Journal of Juristic Papyrology 43 (2014) (forthcoming).
Arabic Papyrology is flourishing again and has come back to the family. This was only made possible due to a conjuncture of fortunate circumstances: the foundation of a scholarly association and subsequent regular conferences; the establishment of electronic research facilities; the institutionalisation of teaching and research by the appointment of distinct papyrologists on prestigious chairs of Arabic Studies; a revival of interest in documentary research inside the discipline and a certain ‘trendiness’ of editorial work among students especially from the Middle East. Further supporting factors were challenging reconsiderations in the discipline of what is a ‘document’ as well as the epistemological value of textual artefacts; the support and hospitality of the other papyrological disciplines and their growing awareness in cross-lingual matters; and, of course, the enthusiasm and tenacity of the many involved. The stage is set for decisions. What direction is Arabic Papyrology to take in the next years? The fact that Arabic papyri are material remains of a culture conceived by contemporary Middle Easterners as theirs is a lucky chance, but requires careful thought. Also has the cooperation with other language groups to be expanded especially in regard to the exchange of electronic and other data. And editions have to be produced, and used. My plenary talk will give an overview of recent research in Arabic Papyrology, will discuss the value of the Arabic material for research on Coptic and Arab Egypt, and will drop some hint at the benefit of our field for the discipline of Papyrology in general.

Anmerkung: Die Abkürzungen folgen der Checklist of Arabic Documents (www.naher-osten. lmu.de/isap/isap_checklist) und der (Full) Arabic Papyrology Bibliography of Editions and Research (www.naher-osten.lmu.de/apb). Einen zeitnahen Überblick über Neuerscheinungen bieten die Websites der International Society for Arabic Papyrology (www.naher-osten.lmu.de/ isap) und der Münchner Forschergruppe zur arabischen Papyrologie (www.naher-osten.lmu.de/ papyrologie) sowie die Maillist der International Society
The Checklist of Arabic Documents aims to facilitate and advance the use of Arabic documents. By providing this inclusive bibliography of editions of Arabic documentary texts-on papyrus, paper, parchment, leather, ostraca, wood, stone and bone-in monographs and articles, and setting out a standardized system of abbreviations for monographs of Arabic document editions, we hope it will serve to enhance the transparency of citations and improve the accessibility of editions, functioning as a useful point of reference for Arabists and non-Arabists, specialists and non-specials alike.
