Descriere

Manuscris Cucerirea Meccai

The texts below represent manuscripts from the 9th Islamic century, which corresponds to around the end of t15th century AD. The script is a standard font (Naskh), and this font was actually dominant everywhere except in Islamic Africa. Because of this we can only conclude that the text from the BIRTA archive does not come from Islamic Africa. The works quoted in the text are from al-Bayḍāwī and at-Taftāzānī – who died about 100 to 180 years before the writing of this manuscript, and both are works of great volume (the version of the work of al-Bayḍāwī that we have is in 5 volumes; the work of at-Taftāzānī has not yet been printed!).

Both of these had impact in the Iran/Afghanistan/Uzbekistan area under the Timurids.
