Abstract:
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.
