Om denne bog
In the late medieval period, manuscripts galore circulated in Middle Eastern libraries. Yet very few book collections have come down to us as such or have left a documentary trail. This book discusses the largest private book collection of the pre-Ottoman Arabic Middle East for which we have both a paper trail and a surviving corpus of the manuscripts that once sat on its shelves: the Ibn ''Abd al-Hadi Library of Damascus. The book suggests that this library was part of the owner''s symbolic strategy to monumentalise a vanishing world of scholarship bound to his life, family, quarter and home city.
