Opis

Lithography in the Islamic world is a bridge between the manuscript age and typography. The Arabic book printed by lithography is essentially a facsimile of the exemplar produced originally by hand and as such exhibits all the characteristic features proper to manuscripts. Despite the considerable number of Arabic lithographed books and their importance to scholarship, this form of printed literature has received little attention. This is the first catalogue of its kind.
