From Codicology to Technology: Islamic Manuscripts and their Place in Scholarship

Evidence

"The first, 'Scholars and Manuscripts', contains essays which discuss the intellectual activities of Shiraz and Damascus in the fourteenth century on the basis of a rare codex of al-Baydawi’s tafsir."

Remarks

The review highlights an essay that utilizes a 14th-century codex of al-Baydawi’s tafsir, originating from Shiraz or Damascus, to explore intellectual networks (p. 3). This manuscript is part of a broader discussion on the material history of codices, which the book categorizes under 'Scholars and Manuscripts' and 'Codicology' (p. 3).
