# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Thomas Milo - The 1924 Cairo Mushaf: The Next 100 Years
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 05 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The 1924 Cairo Qurʾān (Muṣḥaf al-Malik Fuʾād) marked a turning point in Arabic information technology: the shift from handwritten calligraphy to reproducible print, creating today’s reference Qurʾān. A century later, the Mushaf Muscat (2022) demonstrates how digital methods not only preserve this legacy but also enhance philological accuracy through innovation. The result is a digital humanities model of broad relevance, applicable to any text, language or script where precision and cultural depth must align with the digital age.
 
Thomas Milo studied Slavic, Turkic and Arabic languages, and served as an Arabist officer with Dutchbatt/UNIFIL in South Lebanon. He co-founded DecoType (1985), specialising in pioneering culturally accurate digital script encoding and modelling. His work bridges philology, orthography, and design to demonstrate how cultural computing can meet the challenges of the digital age.
