At first sight, Arabic original documents seem to be casual and therefore rather illegible. Yet upon closer acquaintance, the opposite shows to be true: Arabic documents are highly formal. Written by professional scribes, they follow rather strict rules (not to speak of fashions) in both text and layout. However, only a few scholars have learned to read them and now take advantage of this formality, and only a very few of these share their knowledge with others. Making this know-how accessible to a wider public is the explicit aim of this handbook: how to deal, in a cautious and self-critical way, with pre-17th-century Arabic documents on papyrus, paper, potsherds, parchment, etc. - how to find them, how to publish them, and how to use them as a source for research in linguistics, literary studies, and writing history. 606 $aHISTORY / Study & Teaching$2bisacsh 606 $aRELIGION / Islam / General$2bisacsh 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Middle Eastern$2bisacsh 610 0$aArabci documents 610 0$aPapyrus 610 0$aparchment 610 0$apaper 610 0$aAndalusian Studies 610 0$aMamluk Studies 610 0$aArabische Dokumente 610 0$aPergament 610 0$aPapier 610 0$aAndalusien 610 0$aMamluken 610 0$aPapyrus, parchment, paper 615 7$aHISTORY / Study & Teaching. 615 7$aRELIGION / Islam / General. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Middle Eastern. 700 $aKaplony$b Andreas$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01981216 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996732997603316 996 $aPre-Modern Arabic Documents$94822242 997 $aUNISA
