{"product_id":"arabic-manuscripts-adam-gacek-9789004170360","title":"Arabic Manuscripts","description":"Arranged alphabetically by subject and\/or concept, the present handbook has been conceived, for convenience sake and quick reference, as an aid to students and researchers who are often puzzled or even sometimes intimidated by the 'mysterious' world of Arabic manuscripts and the technical language that goes with it. A companion volume to the recently published \u003ci\u003eThe Arabic Manuscript Tradition \u003c\/i\u003e(2001) and its \u003ci\u003eSupplement \u003c\/i\u003e(2008), the vademecum comprises some 200 entries of varying lengths dealing with almost all aspects of Arabic manuscript studies (codicology and palaeography). It is richly illustrated with specimens from manuscripts and expertly executed drawings. The main sequence is followed by a number of appendices covering abbreviations, letterforms, sūrah-headings, major reference works and a guide to the description of manuscripts, as well as charts of major historical periods and dynasties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Gacek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004170367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004170360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 299","brand":"Adam Gacek","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47520655638783,"sku":"9789004170360","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a259c85b-effa-43f3-87a5-7161bc7950de.jpg?v=1762886374","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arabic-manuscripts-adam-gacek-9789004170360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
