The Research Unit established at the Department of “Civiltà e forme del sapere” of the University of Pisa is a very rare combination of outstanding research in Ancient and Medieval philosophy, Arabic thought, Syriac studies, Egyptology, and Religious History. It brings together, and develops, the research activities of its members, making them circulate within the international scientific community.
The Research Unit has also an educational programme opened to PhD students in the aforementioned fields.
