Synopsis

This book is an extensive supplemental index to a vast collection of Muhammadan manuscripts, including works in Persian, Turkish, Arabic, Urdu or Hindi and Pushto or Afghan. The collection also includes a few manuscripts in Panjabi and Eastern Turki languages. This volume supplements and almost doubles the size of the original catalog, which listed 1,500 manuscripts, with an additional 800 newly acquired manuscripts. The index is exhaustive and varied, listing medical works, histories, religious texts, and literary works. The authors, titles, and general subject matters of the manuscripts are listed alphabetically, making it easy for researchers to locate specific works. It is a fundamental tool for anyone interested in the in-depth study of the Islamic world, its history, and its literature.
