Locating Arabic Agricultural Manuscripts

14 February 2010

For anyone interested in the study of agriculture in the medieval Islamic world, a key task is tracking down manuscripts.

I’ve now gathered a fair number of publications listing these manuscripts, so I thought I’d help others working on this topic by providing a preliminary list here. I will add more references as I come across them.

You can submit a reference to the list by commenting on this post.
