Arabic Literature - Syria - Facsimile MELIKIAN-CHIRVANI (A. S.) Sulwan al-Muta' Fi 'Udwan al-Atba'. Facsimile edition. Kuwait, TRI publishing Co, 1984. 3 large volumes in-8, facsimile and translation. Limited edition of 999 copies. Full-color, full-size reproduction of the original document; the facsimile attempts to reproduce the appearance and physical characteristics of the original document. Brown cloth and leather facsimile boards with flap. In brown cloth slipcase. The Sulwn al-Mut' F 'Udwn al-Atb' is a manuscript on paper, produced in Damascus between 1330 and 1334. The importance of the manuscript goes beyond its curious history. It is not only a volume of princely quality, executed in the same workshop as the famous copy of the Maqmt al Harr dated 1334 CE which is now kept in the Nationalbibliothek in Vienna. The illuminated copy of the Sulwn al-Mut' raises important questions about Arab culture.
