Large 4to. 300 x 220 mm., [11 ¾ x 9 inches]. [1], iv, 24 pp. One folding plate of Arabic letter forms. Later 19th century marbled paper wrappers; some minor foxing.

The essay describes fourteen Arabic manuscripts and provides bibliographic and textual information on each, including examples of the script used by the scribes recording the text. The Arabic text is often accompanied by the Latin equivalents, providing access to both the script and the contents of each manuscript.
