The chapters in the first volume situate the library, one of the largest in Palestinian history prior to the end of the nineteenth century, in its historical context, examine the materiality of the collection based on a study of the extant manuscripts and other historical sources, and analyse the contents of the library. The second volume consists of a facsimile of the inventory, a critical edition and index. 410 0$aIslamic History and Civilization ;$v219. 410 0$aMiddle East and Islamic Studies E-Books Online, Collection 2025. 517 3 $aBook Culture in Late Ottoman Palestine 606 $aPrivate libraries$zPalestine$xHistory$y18th century 608 $aEssays.$2lcgft 615 0$aPrivate libraries$xHistory 676 $a027/.156945 702 $aJu?ma?ni?$b Sa?i?d D?a?min 702 $aBurak$b Guy 702 $aHirschler$b Konrad 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910984502703321 996 $aThe Library of A?mad Pasha al-Jazz?r$94344053 997 $aUNINA
