A companion volume to the recently published \u003ci\u003eThe Arabic Manuscript Tradition \u003c\/i\u003e(2001) and its \u003ci\u003eSupplement \u003c\/i\u003e(2008), the vademecum comprises some 200 entries of varying lengths dealing with almost all aspects of Arabic manuscript studies (codicology and palaeography). It is richly illustrated with specimens from manuscripts and expertly executed drawings. The main sequence is followed by a number of appendices covering abbreviations, letterforms, sūrah-headings, major reference works and a guide to the description of manuscripts, as well as charts of major historical periods and dynasties.","brand":"Adam Gacek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48270008779003,"sku":"9789004221444","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_41fbf0c5-2afa-4983-b487-0dd30be0717a.jpg?v=1770954773","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/arabic-manuscripts-9789004221444","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
