خطب الامام علي ومكاتباته وقصص الانبياء.
Khuṭab al-Imām ʻAlī wa-mukātabātihi wa-Qiṣaṣ al-anbiyāʼ.
1000-1802
Two fragments, the first is a collection of some of the orations and the correspondence of the Caliph ʻAlī, evidently taken from Nahj al-balāghah. The second fragment is a collection of stories of the prophets commencing with Adam and concluding with Abraham, evidently taken from Qiṣaṣ al-anbiyāʼ by Abū Bakr al-Kisāʼī, who flourished ca. beginning of 5th/11th century.
Collection
Part of
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.
