TOWARDS THE BALKAN ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF ISLAM (BEI): A PROPOSAL AND PRAESCRİPTUM
Abstract
Özet
Giriş
SonuçThis paper is more of a kind of academic proposal rather than a study within an academic discipline. The idea to prepare this project goes back to late 1990s, where during and after the post-Yugoslav wars were still going on among various Balkan ethnicities and religious groups. During this particular time, Muslims and non-Muslims around the world began to pay attention more on the region, especially in the academic circles and higher learning institutions. Researchers began to realize the existence of Islamic civilization, history and culture in the Balkans, where its roots go back to almost a millennium. However, more systematic study or rather encyclopaedic knowledge about Islam in the Balkans was lacking far behind. Therefore, this study aims to accomplish this scholastic mission by putting forward the definition of the project, the need for it, the process and the planning, and finally its implementation and successful result.
