One form of manuscript notes that has not received any scholarly treatment so far is the vendor’s note. Its common characteristic in place and formulary as well as the limited time during which it was used, broadly between the 7th and 10th century AH, warrant the preliminary assessment of this article. It is hoped that the description, analysis, and edition of a small corpus will make it easier to identify this type of note in the future.

This is a study of the Quranic manuscript Arabe 334a held at the Bibliothèque nationale de France. It is a vocalized manuscript representing a Quranic reading tradition that falls outside the canonical ten reading traditions known to us today. It is shown that this manuscript, on the basis of verse division, is a Hijazi (probably Medinan) manuscript. The reading represented in the vocalization is likely also a non-canonical Hijazi reading. This article contains an edition of the folios of this manuscript and an in-depth study of the orthography, vocalization, verse division, and general principles and specific variants of the reading.

Zahra Faridany-Akhavan
The Ḥamza-nāma manuscript was the largest and most ambitious illustrative program of the Mughal emperor Akbar’s atelier. Known as ‘the wonder’ conceived by the emperor, it told 360 tales in a new visual language. The manuscript consisted of 1400 large pages of illustration on cloth, backed by nineteen lines of fine nastaliq text on paper. Today only about 200 are known. Speculative theories about the manuscript maintained that the illustrations were held up to an audience while the text was read out aloud from the back. However, codicological evidence disproved this theory by reconstructing volume eleven whose illustrations and text were in excellent condition, and the legible numbering was consistent with the story and the title. Yet, many of the extant pages still remain unidentified, continue to be misinterpreted and have been arbitrarily assigned to early, late and ‘unidentified’ volumes by recent scholarship. This article re-examines the Ḥamza-nāma, restores several of the damaged and miscatalogued pages to their rightful place, and identifies and forges new links between the folios. It discusses the tradition of oral storytelling, addresses the recent misunderstanding about how the pages functioned, and introduces new story cycles within the dispersed Mughal manuscript.

Akram Khabibullaev
The article describes manuscript copies of works by al-Muṭarrizī (538–610/1144–1213) in the collection of the al-Beruni Centre of Oriental Manuscripts (former al-Beruni Institute for Oriental Studies) in Tashkent. It includes information about four manuscript copies of two different works. In spite of their importance, the manuscripts have yet to receive the attention they deserve from cataloguers and researchers. Only one of them was briefly described in a previously published catalogue. The goal of this article is to draw attention to some important manuscripts that have largely remained unseen. It is part of my larger research project ‘Intellectual life in Khwarizm: 10–13th Centuries’.

Arianna D’Ottone Rambach
This article reconsiders the text and the authorship of an anonymous Arabic manuscript containing ink recipes. The text was first published by Eugenio Griffini in 1910, but the ink recipes have only recently attracted scholarly attention. Though the latest contributions on the manuscript consider it lost, it is in fact preserved at the Ambrosiana Library. Attributed to ‘the Sicilian’, an anonymous author, it is possible that it is the work of a 15th-century physician from Tunis. Griffini edited the text, but images of the manuscript are published here for the first time, as well as an English translation and a new edition. For comparison, other ink recipes, from a sixteenth-century manuscript in maghribī script are edited and translated as well.

Lucia Raggetti
A short treatise attributed to Ibn al-Ǧazarī (born Damascus 751/1351) deals with what was considered necessary knowledge about the art and craft of penmanship. Along with linguistic and antiquarian remarks, scribal practices, and social applications of writing, an entire section is devoted to the preparation of inks. The selection of recipes includes different ink typologies and technical approaches to ink making, with a preference for metallic compounds; the manipulation of metallic substances often absorbed technological aspects of alchemical practice. This article provides an edition and a commented English translation of the section on inks in the Book on the Art of Penmanship, as preserved by its unique manuscript witness, MS Berlin Sprenger 1918. A recipe for the distillation of an artificial golden ink has been replicated in order to better understand the interaction between the text and the chemical reality behind it.
