The current librarian has chosen to mark this by acquiring for the collections a fine, portable manuscript prayer book in Arabic (and Ottoman Turkish) dating from the very early 19th century. Our new MS 383 is now thus a signal juncture in the college’s history as the inaugural Margoliouth Fellow in Arabic spearheads Arabic’s revival here. That fellowship is named after a former student and fellow of our college, one of the most illustrious British orientalists in recent history.<br>&nbsp;</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Library, Oxford, MS 383, ff. 1v–2r</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5><strong>²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Library and Archives, Oxford</strong></h5> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="field field--name-field-attachment field--type-file field--label-hidden field--items"> <div class="field--item"><span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf icon-before"><span class="file-icon"><span class="icon glyphicon glyphicon-file text-primary" aria-hidden="true"></span></span><span class="file-link"><a href="/sites/default/files/2024-12/22NCN6%20%282024%29%20Gedikli%20Gorali%2C%20Rahardjo%2C%20%26%20Skelton-Foord%20on%20MS%20383.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=1817776" title="Open file in new window" target="_blank" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom">22NCN6 (2024) Gedikli Gorali, Rahardjo, &amp; Skelton-Foord on MS 383.pdf</a></span><span class="file-size">1.73 MB</span></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> </div> </div> </div> </div> Tue, 31 Dec 2024 04:48:50 +0000 Christopher 3259 at
