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).
“…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.”
