The historical website of the ILM project during the years 2009-2013 (www.ilm-project.net), reconstructed after being hacked in 2015, is since November 2024 accessible at its new address http://ilm-project.irht.cnrs.fr at the Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes.
On this page, we present selected texts and existing raw materials from the ILM project, along with materials from ongoing studies on documents of Islamic law.
To advertise the ILM project, we presented a poster at the 32nd German Orientalistentag in Münster (September 23–27, 2013).
