This project will examine the history of Persian texts on Indian culture and aims at offering a new epistemic vision of the history of contacts between Muslim culture and non-Muslim scholarly traditions. The research has been developed from the hypothesis that the production of Persian texts on Indian culture cannot be reduced to a minor or unrelated series of single efforts. Rather it constituted a process comparable to other major translation movements between different civilizations. Concurrently, the project aims at analysing two additional hypothesis. First, this trend of studies did not only constitute a process of translation, but also of transformation, appropriation and Persianisation of knowledge. Second, the appropriation process was a symmetric activity that allowed Indian scholars to acquire the forms of expression of the Persian culture. To test this hypothesis, the project proposes a new approach to the study of Persian sources by the creation of Perso-Indica, an online academic publication, based on a electronic survey of Persian sources on Indian learning written between the 13th and the 19th centuries. This approach will enable methods of quantitative analyses of Persian text corpora through the creation of tools for processing textual and prosopographic metadata that produce dynamic indexes of the main entities, contexts and forms of expression. As an encyclopaedia of the Persian literature on Indian culture, Perso-Indica intends to become the first major reference work for this field of studies. Its approach will not be merely descriptive, and Perso-Indica aims above all at offering critical analyses of these texts. We will especially pay attention to the methods of translation, ways of understanding the source knowledge, the transmission of the texts and the formation of a bilingual lexicon. These questions will also be dealt with in a book dedicated to the analysis of the translation process in the symmetric context of the Persianisation of Indian learning and the Indianisation of Persian culture.

该项目将研究印度文化的波斯文本历史，旨在为穆斯林文化与非穆斯林学术传统之间的接触历史提供一种新的认识视角。这项研究是基于这样一种假设，即关于印度文化的波斯文本的制作不能被简化为一系列无关的单一努力。相反，它构成了一个可以与不同文明之间其他主要翻译运动相媲美的过程。同时，该项目旨在分析另外两个假设。首先，这一研究趋势不仅构成了翻译过程，而且构成了知识的转化、挪用和波斯化过程。其次，占有过程是一种对称的活动，使印度学者能够获得波斯文化的表达形式。为了验证这一假设，该项目提出了一种研究波斯文献的新方法，即创建“波斯-印度”（Perso-Indica），这是一份在线学术出版物，基于对13世纪至19世纪之间撰写的关于印度学习的波斯文献的电子调查。这种方法将使波斯语文本语料库的定量分析方法成为可能，通过创建工具来处理文本和语素元数据，生成主要实体、上下文和表达形式的动态索引。作为一部关于印度文化的波斯文学百科全书，《波斯-印度》打算成为这一研究领域的第一部主要参考著作。它的方法将不仅仅是描述性的，《人-印度》的首要目标是提供对这些文本的批判性分析。我们将特别关注翻译的方法，理解源知识的途径，文本的传递和双语词典的形成。这些问题也将在一本专门分析印度学习波斯化和波斯文化印度化的对称背景下的翻译过程的书中处理。
