This part of the Islamic manuscripts site contains out of print publications
which are nowadays often difficult to find. The section is continually being expanded.
Among other things it contains the full
contents of Manuscripts of the Middle East (MME), the journal published by Ter Lugt Press
in Leiden in the 1980's and 1990's. Ask for a quotation from the publisher (Ter Lugt
Press, Donkersteeg 19, NL-2312 HA Leiden, The Netherlands) if you wish to obtain
a paper version of the articles which appeared in MME.
This section also contains recent publications some of which may still be in print. These
have usually been included with the permission of the owners of the copyright, with mention
of the websites where such publications can be purchased.
This section of the site also contains older catalogues of Islamic manuscripts,
which are now out-of-print, and other relevant publications.
For reasons of copyright all publications in this section have a read-only restriction and cannot be printed.
