Open Access Manuscripts Collection: Manuscripts from the al-Aqsa Mosque Library, East Jerusalem

 Manuscripts from the al-Aqsa Mosque Library, East Jerusalem

"The Endangered Archives Programme has recently made available the digitised
manuscripts from the Al-aqsa Mosque Library, East Jerusalem.
The materials selected for digitisation include a collection of 119 rare
manuscripts that span over several Islamic periods from the 12th to the 19th
century AD, constituting approximately 33000 pages. The selection includes
the manuscripts from the collections of well-known Palestinian scholars,
such as Fayd Allah al-'Alami and the Shaykh Khalil al-Khalidi and from the
private collection of Shaykh Muhammad al-Khalili, who died in 1734. The
manuscripts selected for digitisation cover a wide range of subjects,
including theology, Quran and its interpretation, Islamic law, Arabic
language and literature, astronomy, medicine and history. The collection
documents the history and cultural heritage of the region and its people."

Open Access Database: RELMIN: The legal status of religious minorities in the Euro-Mediterranean world (5th -15th centuries)

RELMIN: The legal status of religious minorities in the Euro-Mediterranean world (5 th -15 th centuries)

RELMIN is a five-year project funded by the European Research Council and directed by John Tolan, professor of history at the University of Nantes.
Database in French and English.

"This is the pilot version of what will become a major text database of legal texts concerning the status of religious minorities in the Middle Ages. The base currently contains several hundred texts, but will gradually grow to several thousand texts by 2015."

"The database consists of original texts (Latin, Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, etc.), translations into English and French, notes and commentaries, and a bibliography. We hope that it becomes an important tool for research concerning the history of European and Mediterranean laws about pagan, Jewish, Muslim, and Christian minorities, and the history of interfaith relations."
