Event Description

Discover what Malay magic and divination manuscripts from the late 18th to early 20th century reveal about magical and divinatory practices in Southeast Asia. Art historian Farouk Yahya of SOAS University of London will explore the diverse collection of imagery found in these richly-illustrated manuscripts, from tables and charts used for divination, to illustrations and talismanic designs employed for protection, healing and sorcery. Farouk will explain how Pre-Islamic material appears alongside images and techniques derived from the wider Islamic world, demonstrating a rich tradition that has been able to assimilate material from a wide variety of sources, while at the same time establishing its own unique identity. Farouk’s talk is part of a series of events organised by the York Islamic Art Circle, a collaboration between the University of York’s Islamic Society and Department of History of Art.
