The programme is financially secure until November 2025 with a core staff of three researchers funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and European Research Council (ERC) which is led by Senior Research Fellow Arezou Azad, and more staff working on outreach (including through a website, schools outreach sessions, museum liaison, and more). Specifically, Invisible East’s research focuses on the transcription, translation, and analysis of texts, most of which reflect everyday, local use – such as receipts, personal letters, and legal opinions – while others are literary in nature. They were written in a range of languages, including Early New Persian, JudeoPersian, Arabic, Bactrian, Khotanese, and Pahlavi, and shed new light on the political, financial and legal infrastructures at granular level, on historical writing, linguistics, and cultural and religious diversity in the medieval Islamicate East. Researchers are working on numerous books that are coming out through an academic book publishing series that is edited by Dr Azad. The core goals of Invisible East are: • • • To understand the roles played by different stakeholders (political, religious, legal, financial) in the construction of multicultural communities and societies across the Islamicate East; To ascertain how texts and material culture help us understand relations between Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Christians, and other faiths in the Islamicate East; and To establish how the Persian language developed and interacted with other languages (Arabic, Hebrew and others) in the multicultural Islamicate East. Invisible East is also developing a new open access, digital corpus that will make available all the documents it is processing to a wide audience.
