Manuscripts of the Islamic World
Manuscripts of the Islamic World offers a curated selection of extraordinary manuscripts hosted or held by Princeton University Library. The manuscripts are predominantly in Arabic, but there are also many in Persian and Ottoman Turkish. The manuscript digitizations here are a fraction of the full Manuscripts of the Islamic World collections, housed in Special Collections in Princeton's Firestone Library. Efforts are ongoing to make the manuscripts of these collections more accessible through conservation, catalog record updates, and digitization.

- Physical description: 22 lines per page; written in New Style (NS.1--see Déroche, F., The Abbasid tradition, no. 90) in black on tan unglazed, laid Arabic paper. The vowel signs are dots in red. The ḍammah is represented by a red dot to the right of the letter, the fatḥah by one over and the kasrah by one below (cf. al-Suyūṭī, Itqān, Cairo, 1925, vol. II, p. 171, 11. 27-8). A double vowel is represented by two dots. The diacritical marks are the ordinary ones. A few marks in green have been added by a later hand. Some staining and some loss of text on 15G(a) due to ragged edges. In fair condition.
- Origin: Likely from the 11th or 12th century (compare with Déroche, F., The Abbasid tradition, no. 90).
- Fragment 15G(c) has a variant reading for XII:12. Instead of أرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا ىَرْتَعْ وَىَلْعَبْ وَإِنّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ which is the ʻUthmānic reading, the fragment reads أرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا نَرْتَعْ ونَلْعَبْ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ
- Binding Note
- Loose in a brown embossed leather wrapper.
