This book offers new scholarly contributions to the study of the manuscript codex and Zaydi scholastic culture in Yemen from the rise of the Islam to the modern period. As a group, these studies demonstrate the range and richness of scholarly methods closely tied to the material text, and the importance of cross-pollination in the fields of codicology, textual criticism, and social and intellectual history.
Reference is made to the collections of Yemeni manuscripts brought to Europe by Eduard Glaser after his four journeys to Yemen between 1882 an 1894.
The collections Glaser had acquired during his first and second trips, i.e. a total of 264 of manuscripts were purchased by the 'Königliche Bibliothek zu Berlin' (Royal Library in Berlin) - now 'Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin' in 1884 and 1886. Glaser's third collection of 328 manuscripts was sold to the British Museum in London in 1889 and later transferred to the British Library in London, whereas his fourth collection was acquired by the 'Kaiserlich-Königliche Hofbibliothek' (Imperial-Royal Court Library) - now 'Österreichische Nationalbibliothek' (Austrian National Library) - in 1894.
