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.

Efforts are ongoing to make the manuscripts of these collections more accessible through conservation, catalog record updates, and digitization.
