The World Survey of Islamic Manuscripts is the first ever attempt to account for all Islamic languages in over 90 countries of the world.

Description

The "World Survey of Islamic Manuscripts" is a collective bibliographical work, which brings together the work of manuscript scholars, both Muslim and non-Muslim, from all parts of the world, aiming to enhance our knowledge of the written heritage of the Islamic civilization.

It offers a guide to collections of Islamic manuscripts, details of access to these collections and their holdings, and information about particularly significant manuscripts which they contain.
