Second Supplementary Catalogue of Hebrew Printed Books in the British Library, 1893-1960

This index is intended as a summary subject-guide to the Arabic manuscripts in the British Library, one of the most importance storehouses of Arab and Islamic documentary heritage in the world. The manuscripts have been arranged into subject categories, and the more important bilingual texts have been included as well as manuscripts in the Arabic language but copied in other scripts. To date only some of the collection has been catalogued, other parts have remained undocumented. With this subject-guide researchers can exploit the full range of this resource.

Subject-guide to the Arabic Manuscripts in the British Library

This text contains an up-to-date list of the published catalogues on Islamic law contained in the British Library collection. Entries are classified throughout by subject and date, and a pragmatic approach has been adopted for the formal entries which are supplemented by first lines quoted in Arabic script and references to bindings and other special features. Each volume in the series is fully indexed in both Arabic script and romanization by author and title.
