2024 has seen the welcome revival of Arabic as a subject for undergraduate study at ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ after the subject had been discontinued for years. 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.
