This book, covering the entire spectrum of Arabic manuscripts, and especially the handwritten book, consists of a glossary of technical terms and a bibliography. The technical terms, collected from a variety of sources embrace a vast range of topics dealing with the making and reading (studying) of Arabic manuscripts. They are: the Arabic script, penmanship, writing materials and implements, the make-up of the codex, copying and correction, decoration and bookbinding, as well as the transmission of texts and former ownership. A similar coverage is reflected in the bibliography.

Adam Gacek, currently Head of the Islamic Studies Library, McGill University (Montreal), has published many articles on Arabic manuscripts and a number of catalogues, including Arabic manuscripts in the libraries of McGill University (1991).
