Open Access Manuscripts Collection: SLUB Dresden
"Saxon State and University Library Dresden (SLUB) manuscript collection contains over 448 Islamic manuscripts (196
Ottoman, 184 Arabic, 68 Persian). Following clashes with the Ottomans in
the Baltic region, these manuscripts arrived in Europe and were
acquired in the 18th and 19th centuries from collections of nobility and
scholarly estates. In the 19th century, a large number of Tibetan (438)
and Mongolian (58) manuscripts were purchased. Other Oriental
manuscripts, i.e. Chinese (18), Japanese (3), Indonesian (9), Sanskrit
(1), Hebraic (10) and Ethiopian (4), were bestowed upon the library by
private persons.
With
the exception of a few recent acquisitions, most of the Islamic
manuscripts are registered in the "Catalogus codicum manuscriptorum
orientalium Bibliothecae Regiae Dresdensis", which was published in
Leipzig in 1831 by the Orientalist Heinrich Leberecht Fleischer (1801-1888). This index is available digitally at diglib.hab.de/wdb.php.
A complete list of the Tibetan, Mongolian, Chinese, Hebraic, and
Ethiopian manuscripts as well as a partial list of the Indonesian
manuscripts can be found in the "Verzeichnis der orientalischen
Handschriften in Deutschland" (Index of Oriental Manuscripts in Germany,
VOHD; Wiesbaden / Stuttgart 1961ff.)."
