This is a project funded by CEDER and carried out by the Unversity of Balamad and the University of Tours in France. This program seeks to explore the concept of time in the East as determined by different modern and traditional domains in the East and the West. The CEDER project aims at encouraging joint research between France and Lebanon. The program sponsored 4 study missions from Lebanon to France and 2 from France to Lebanon. Each mission included visits to the French research centers and to the National Library where copies of Arabic manuscripts were obtained on CDs and were used in the study.
At the end of the program a conference was held by the two universities where researchers from universities in Lebanon, France, and Germany participated. The studies revolved around the different historiographic methods used in the area and analysed the concept of time as it relates to religion and ways of life. The two universities are preparing the articles for publication.
