Manuscripts of al-Muṭarrizī’s Works in Tashkent
View through CrossRef
AbstractThe article describes manuscript copies of works by al-Muṭarrizī (538–610/1144–1213) in the collection of the al-Beruni Centre of Oriental Manuscripts (former al-Beruni Institute for Oriental Studies) in Tashkent. It includes information about four manuscript copies of two different works. In spite of their importance, the manuscripts have yet to receive the attention they deserve from cataloguers and researchers. Only one of them was briefly described in a previously published catalogue. The goal of this article is to draw attention to some important manuscripts that have largely remained unseen. It is part of my larger research project ‘Intellectual life in Khwarizm: 10–13th Centuries’.
