[MR] Fw: [RP] Medieval Islamic Manuscripts

[Kynnyth Pyke]

A link direcly to a downloadable PDF of this book can be found here:

If you're interested in fully vocalized Arabic text with illumination, you may also want to snag the Walter's volume 2/30 Koran, a 15th Century manuscript:

Book binders should know that the PDF's include pictures of the outside of the books as well as the first inside pages.  And as Isabel said, the images are incredible.

The slideshow of the manuscripts is a feast for the eyes. 
 
The Walters Art Museum Today at the conservation window, we're working on an Islamic book from the year 1597. Here's a page from that book. http://ow.ly/ 153h9
