Abstract
Digital Humanities has been in the agenda of Islamic and Middle Eastern
studies for almost a decade and eventually its first outcome in the form of an
edited book came out in 2016.1
Edited by Elias Muhanna who leads the Digital
Islamic Humanities Project at Brown University, the book is the product of a conference, the first of the initiative’s scholarly meetings. In his introduction, besides
the routine goal of reflecting on the subsequent chapters, Muhanna offers modest
typological principles for the readers who are familiar with Islamic and Middle
East studies in non-digital forms. Opening the discussion, the principles he offers
demonstrate the ambiguous but promising nature of Digital Humanities in relation to Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies (IMES).
