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: 17-18 lines per page. Written in medium small taʻlīq in black ink with use of red. Contains diagrams in red and black ink. Light biscuit paper, glossy, with laid lines and chain lines, and pulp visible. Marginal annotations. Several inscriptions and short texts on pastedowns and on fol. 1a, in Arabic and Persian, including a mention of astronomical signs related to events dating to the years 1022 H. and 1073 H., from the margins of a majmūʻah. Kabīkaj on fol. 20a. Last word of verso repeated on next recto. Waqf (see inscription on upper margin of fol. 114a). Margins worm-eaten.
- Origin: Text 1 and 2 copied in 884 H. [1479 or 1480] (colophons, fol. 19a and 89b). Text 3 ends on a colophon stating that it was written by the author, Kamāl al-Tūrākānī, in Gulistān, on 26 Ramaḍān 755 [Oct. 14, 1354] (fol. 139a). This appears to be the colophon of the exemplar, since the text seems to be written by the same hand and on the same paper as the two first text in the volume. See also Princeton University Library. Islamic mss. Garrett no. 505H.
- Binding Note
- Quarter bound with flap (paper over paper pasteboards for upper and lower covers, and envelope flap ; dark brown leather spine and fore-edge flap). Paper pastedowns.
