Open Access Book: A Monument to Medieval Syrian Book Culture The Library of Ibn ʿAbd al-Hādī

Author: Konrad Hirschler
Title: A Monument to Medieval Syrian Book Culture The Library of Ibn ʿAbd al-Hādī
Published: Edinburgh Studies in Classical Islamic History and Culture. November 2019
ISBN: 9781474451598 (PDF)

Reassembles the books of a medieval Arabic library that are today dispersed around the world Sets out a new approach to the study of Arabic book culture

Edits the most important Arabic medieval book list
Provides a new angle on the history of ḥadīth in the late-medieval period
Reconceptualises the mobility of endowed books
Reproduces the entire catalogue in colour

In the late medieval period, manuscripts galore circulated in Middle Eastern libraries. Yet very few book collections have come down to us as such or have left a documentary trail. This book discusses the largest private book collection of the pre-Ottoman Arabic Middle East for which we have both a paper trail and a surviving corpus of the manuscripts that once sat on its shelves: the Ibn ʿAbd al-Hādī Library of Damascus. The book suggests that this library was part of the owner’s symbolic strategy to monumentalise a vanishing world of scholarship bound to his life, family, quarter and home city.

Open Access Book: Among Digitized Manuscripts. Philology, Codicology, Paleography in a Digital World

Author: Lit, Lambertus W. C.
Title: Among Digitized Manuscripts: Philology, Codicology, Paleography in a Digital World.
Published: Leiden ; Boston Brill [2020]
ISBN: 9789004400351

"Working with manuscripts has become a digital affair. But, are there downsides to digital photos? And how can you take advantage of the incredible computing power you have literally at your fingertips? Cornelis van Lit explains in detail what happens when manuscript studies meets digital humanities. In Among Digitized Manuscripts you will learn why it is important to include a note on the photo quality in your codicological description, how to draw, collect, and publish glyphs of paleographic interest, what standards (such as TEI and IIIF) to abide by when transcribing a text, how to write custom software for image recognition, and much more. The leading principle is that learning a little about computers will already be of great benefit."
