The ambitious project will allow bookworms around the world to discover the institute’s entire collection of books and manuscripts in Arabic, Persian and Turkish, all of which date from the ninth to the 20th centuries. “It is one of a number of initiatives connecting the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem with the global community,” Dr Raquel Ukeles, curator of the Islam and Middle East Collection, said in a statement.
The opening and closing pages feature double-sided miniatures that were added later, apparently in the 17th and 18th centuries but in the 15th-century style.
