The Yemeni Manuscript Tradition

The Yemeni Manuscript Tradition contributes to the study of the manuscript codex and its role in scholastic culture in Yemen. The articles in this volume, which range in period from Islam’s first century to the modern age, result from the authors’ close scrutiny of the manuscripts of Yemen. Collectively, these studies demonstrate the variety and richness of scholarly methods closely tied to the material text and the importance of cross-pollination in the fields of codicology, textual criticism, and social and intellectual history.
