If it helps to say, this page hosts an ongoing making of a sandwich of spoken work, image gallery, and written notes, on the relational histories of premodern bestiaries ('ajayeb al makhlughat, in Farsi/Arabic: عجایب نامه/عجایب‌المخلوقات). In short ajayeb, has become a term that is used here inclusively to examine a living and nonliving 'historical site,' a 'heritage web' in order to learn/talk/speculate about what counts as writing technologies in Western Asia.
