Rediscovering the Islamic Classics

The story of how Arab editors of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries revolutionized Islamic literatureIslamic book culture dates back to late antiquity, when Muslim scholars began to write down their doctrines on parchment, papyrus, and paper and then to compose increasingly elaborate analyses of, and commentaries on, these ideas.

Povestea despre modul in care editorii arabi de la sfarsitul secolului al XIX-lea si inceputul secolului al XX-lea au revolutionat cultura islamica a cartii islamice dateaza din antichitatea tarzie, cand carturarii musulmani au inceput sa isi scrie doctrinele despre pergament, papirus si hartie si apoi sa compuna analize din ce in ce mai elaborate despre, si comentarii la aceste idei.
