As part of our series of conversations with winners of the 2022 Dan David Prize, Dr Kristina Richardson tells Helen Carr about her research into little-studied travelling communities of the medieval Middle East \u2013 and what this can tell us about the lives of marginalised groups at the time. She discusses uncovering lost languages, and reveals how one itinerant medieval Middle Eastern community was highly advanced in printing on paper long before it was adopted in Europe.<\/p>\n

The Dan David Prize is the world\u2019s largest history prize, which recognizes outstanding historical scholarship. Find out more at dandavidprize.org<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0browse episodes featuring other winners<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/body><\/html>\n
