More DescriptionResearch on medieval encyclopedism has generated excellent results in various fields so far, but it still suffers at times from a propensity for compartmentalization, with the result that Arabists, Byzantinists, Latinists, and Romanicists are only rarely involved in common schemes. With this regard, the project "Speculum Arabicum: Objectifying the contribution of the Arab-Muslim world to the history of sciences and ideas: the sources and resources of medieval encyclopaedism" was funded from 2012 to 2017 by an ARC- Actions de Recherche Concertees at the Universite catholique de Louvain. The present volume includes 13 papers presented at the closing international symposium of the project.
