An Index of Authors to A Survey of the Scientific Manuscripts in the Egyptian National Library
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
In 1986, David A. King published an English survey of his Arabic catalogue of the scientific manuscripts in the Egyptian National Library in Cairo, which had appeared in two large volumes in 1981 and 1986. This survey is arranged chronologically by author within a number of geographical regions. Although a list of all authors is found at the beginning of thework, no alphabetical index of authors is included. On the occasion of King’s retirement, and with an eye on the recent renewed interest in the bio-bibliography of Islamic scholars, this article presents such an index, generated from a computer database by Benno van Dalen.
