University Library
Brill, the oldest scholarly publishing house in The Netherlands based in
Leiden since 1683, is sponsoring the Scaliger Institute for the period

fellows to come to Leiden University Library each year in order to do
research in the library's rich Special Collections.
The Brill fellowship is intended for a minimum period of three months.
The allowance, which is intended to cover the costs of accommodation and
research, is Euro 1000 per month. Applications can be submitted by mail

must be involved in one of the following main subject areas of Brill:
Middle East & Islamic Studies; Asian Studies; Medieval & Early Modern
History; Biblical & Religious Studies; Ancient Near East & Egypt and
Classical Studies.
The Brill fellow is expected to contribute to the activities of the
Scaliger Institute and to give a public lecture. When the occasion
arises, the lecture will be published by Brill in association with the
Scaliger Institute.
The closing date for applications is 31 January 2011. For more
