Adam Gacek, currently Head of the Islamic Studies Library and a lecturer in Arabic manuscript studies at the Institute of Islamic Studies, McGill University (Montreal) is the author of six catalogues of manuscripts, many articles and book chapters
“…an indispensable research, library, and archival companion for
students and researchers that are interested in bibliomancy,
calligraphy, specifically Arabic, Qur’anic manuscripts, penmanship,
bookbinding, papermaking, decoration, and the tools associated with
all these crafts. Praise for this monumental effort is essentially
superfluous and no library or centre which is concerned with the
Islamic manuscript and book tradition should be without the set.
Academics and researchers would also find the books as
indispensable companions.”
