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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Konrad Hirschler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147445156X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474451567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 1.50d","brand":"Konrad Hirschler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052471415039,"sku":"9781474451567","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0da12026-d89c-4845-85bc-aca234f44dc1.jpg?v=1685018985","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-monument-to-medieval-syrian-konrad-hirschler-9781474451567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
