Book Description:
The Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art is a growing private collection of over 15,000 objects, built up over the last twentyyears in London by Dr Khalili.This volume is the first in an important new academic series, complementary to the main catalogue of the Collection: it consists of a detailed study of a group of early Arabic papyri, dating mainly from the eighth to tenth centuries AD.Most are from Egypt, but the collection also includes the only known papyrus to survive from Iraq.The texts range from tax and legal matters, to business accounts and personal correspondence.Each document is transcribed and translated, and there are copious notes on historical linguistics, and palaeographic issues.These documents reflect directly the realities of life in the first centuries of the Islamic era.
