Brill In the Author's Hand: Holograph and Authorial Manuscripts in the Islamic Handwritten Tradition: 171 (Islamic History and Civilization, 171)

Product Description Research that focuses on holograph, autograph and authorial manuscripts in Arabic handwritten script has been casual, although these manuscripts raise important and varied questions. In this volume nine contributions and case studies are gathered that address theoretical issues and convey different, disruptive perspectives. A particularly important subject of this book is the identification of an authors handwriting. About the Author Frédéric Bauden, Ph.D. (1996), Université de Liège, is Professor of Arabic Language and Islamic Studies at that university. He has published extensively on the history, historiography and diplomatics of the Mamluk period. He is the editor of the book series Bibliotheca Maqriziana. Élise Franssen, Ph.D. (2012), Università Ca Foscari, Venice, is a Marie Skodowska Curie Fellow (2018-21). A specialist of codicology, she is currently working on the holograph volume of al-afads Tadhkira and on her book on the manuscripts of the ZER recension of the Thousand and One Nights.
