Dabbling with a Medieval Arabic Manuscript
This manuscript analysis and assessment was the first assignment of the LIBR 548 (History of the Book) course. Through this assignment, I investigate the digitized copy of a medieval Arabic manuscript book (codex) of the Princeton University library collection. I observe and investigate the physicality of codex with respect to the historic and cultural contexts of its production and use, and lastly, contemplate on how the book design relates to readers and intended use.
