Collections
Part of
Princeton’s Holdings of the al-Madani Library
The Houtsma and Littmann Collections constitute Princeton's holdings of the al-Madani library and are the focus of an ongoing three year digitization initiative that commenced in the Fall of 2021 and was completed in 2024.
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.

- Ms. codex.
- Title from title page (fol. 1a).
- A few marginal notes. Inscriptions inside upper and lower covers. Three lines of verse on title page (fol. 1a). Label on upper cover. In the colophon the work is called Khulāṣat al-iʻrāb, a commentary by Ḥājjī Bābā al-Ṭūsawī on al-Miṣbāḥ, a work on syntax by al-Muṭarrizī. This is evidently a mistake.
