Hello ARLIS-L members,
I am new to this listserv today. My faculty colleagues and
fellow medical librarians urged me to join in order to enlist your collective
knowledge and wisdom.
Recently a small medallion with an inscription on either
side came into my possession. Several faculty here on campus, a native Arabic
speaker and also well versed in Classical Arabic, a native Hindi speaker, a
native Farsi speaker, a native Hebrew speaker, and a native Bengali speaker
– looked at it with the goal of deciphering it, but without success.
In your professional opinion, how should I proceed? Do
websites exist for these matters? As a librarian, how do I research it?
Thank you in advance for your help.
