The workshop will take place on 10-20 July 2024 in Procida, an island in the Gulf of Naples (Italy), at the Procida School for Higher Education.
Leading experts from India, Europe, and America will present and examine with the global readership early modern Hindi texts composed between the 16th and 19th centuries and discuss challenges of interpretation, variations, and other aspects of the texts. Academics and students with a solid foundation in Brajbhasha or another form of early Hindi, and familiarity with essential grammatical terminology in English or Hindi, are welcome to join.
The afternoon sessions of the workshop will be held in hybrid mode.
