Title: Manuscript Information
Post by: Sijilmassa on March 19, 2011, 09:43:22 AM
Our knowledge of the location and identification of Arabic agronomical mss. is incomplete and often inaccurate (see map of holding institutions). If you have any first-hand experience of any particular mss. please let us know here.

We only have information about four Arabic agricultural manuscripts held in Indian institutions (Salihiyya 1984):
in the Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Public Library, Patna: 2211 - Al-Ṭighnarī ?, and 2500 - Al-Ḥusaynī ?
in the Al-Maktabat al-aṣ-Ṣifiyya, Hyderabad (transferred to Central National Library):
2/1198, no. 145 --- Kibrīt al-Ḥusaynī ?, and 348 فلسفة --- Ibn Waḥshīya.

The source is unreliable and it would be very useful if someone with access to these Indian institutions could do some research on these or other mss.
