We are happy to inform you that the 2021 Zoomathia International Conference, organised by the Ichtya research program team (Craham), will be held at the University of Caen Normandy, on November 4-6 on "Transmission of knowledge on fish and aquatic animals, texts and images (Antiquity, Middle Ages, 16th century)"
The organizers welcome proposals (in either French or English) on Antiquity, Middle Ages or Renaissance, both in western and eastern Mediterranean world (in Latin, Greek, Arabic, Jewish tradition).
This conference wishes to stress on 1) the scientific contribution of ancient sources on aquafauna and the biological and ecological knowledge of species ; 2) the transmission and diachronic evolution of scholarly data on this fauna through the various knowledge media (texts, iconography including mosaics, illuminated manuscripts, early printed books and engravings, etc.); 3) the way of representing marine animals species in the tradition and the keys for identifying these species provided by ancient documentation, as well as the methodological issues involved in these historical depictions. Note that the focus of the Conference is not restricted to ichthyofauna, but encompass all forms of aquatic living animals.
