From the introduction:

The following list includes classical and modern publications which deal with, or are relevant to, the study of the Arabic manuscript codex. Excluded from this list are works of calligraphy and palaeography, since there is already a good select bibliography of those by Saydū and al-Yūsuf. Classical works of the 'ādāb al-kātib' genre, although containing a wealth of information also application to codices, they fall within the scope of Diplomatic and therefore are also mainly excluded.

The Checklist of Arabic Documents, prepared by Dr Petra M Sijpesteijn, Dr John F Oates and Dr Andreas Kaplony is downloadable as PDF or can be read as html in your browser. It's purpose (from the site):

The Checklist of Arabic Documents aims to facilitate and advance the use of Arabic documents. By providing this inclusive bibliography of editions of Arabic documentary texts - on papyrus, paper, parchment, leather, ostraca, wood, stone and bone - in monographs and articles, and setting out a standardized system of abbreviations for monographs of Arabic document editions, we hope it will serve to enhance the transparency of citations and improve the accessibility of editions, functioning as a useful point of reference for Arabists and non-Arabists, specialists and non-specials alike.

The following is a list of (largely English) studies on the history of the medieval madrasa as an institution. This post and the list it contains are a work-in-progress, since undoubtedly I will come across works that I was ignorant of (especially in German and other European languages, which I haven't even touched here), and new books and articles may be published. If anyone knows of other works that should be added to the list, please leave a comment below, or send me an email. Read More...
