The coming years, the Scaliger Institute will start a project on the topic Sacred books. In the realisation of this topic a number of activities are being considered: an (international) congress, workshops, an exhibition, a series of lectures and a book for the general public. The project will aim to co-operate with Pierre Delsaerdt of the department Information and Library Sciences (Universiteit van Antwerpen) and several faculties of Leiden University.
