The Qur’an across four material lives: Morocco (early 18th c.), Chad or Niger (19th c.), Ethiopia (19th c.), North India (lithograph, late 19th c.). Same text, but different materials, colours, layouts, and a new technology. At Rim Enchères auction, Paris 21 October @rimacof
Delighted to receive a copy of the new publication about the Ibn Yusuf Library in Marrakesh, edited by Jaafar Kanssousi (al-Muniya association). Wonderful articles, and a short piece of mine on the Pink Mushaf (in French & Arabic). Thank you 🙏

A fascinating example of how the division of the Qur’an into separate volumes can reflect patterns of ritual reading: in Somalia, the mushaf is often divided into seven manzil, each corresponding to a day of the week, beginning with Friday.

Terrible news of the passing of my Leiden colleague and preeminent authority in Islamic and Arabic codicology and paleography, Professor Jan Witkam, who joined Leiden back in 1964, before going on to become the Professor of Paleography and Codicology of the Muslim World. RIP.
Congratulations to Haneen and Abdul-Latif! I had the pleasure to meet them over Zoom a couple of months ago. Their courage and dedication to preserving cultural heritage are truly inspiring.
All hail Palestinian historian Abdul-Latif Hashim and archivist Haneen Al-Amassi for winning the @UNESCO/Jikji Memory of the World Prize. Their Eyes on Heritage and archive emergency response team in Gaza rescued nearly 260 manuscripts. koreajoongangdaily.com/lifes…

İlk Kâğıt, İlk Fligran, İlk Deneme.
Yalakâbâd 1158 (Yalova 1745)
İbrahim Müteferrika tarafından üretilen bu kağıt aynı zamanda minare motifli oluşu ve üretim yerini olan yalakâbâd (Yalova) yazısıyla ilk filigran olması yönüyle de bir değer taşır.
