Manuscripts of the Islamic World at Princeton University Library

Digitized Manuscripts can be found in multiple ways. Use your facets (described in the How to Find Manuscripts tab) to your advantage. 

• Select Online under Access
• Select Special Collections under Library to ensure the results are manuscripts held at Princeton University Library and not digital resources that require a Princeton login.

This will produce results such as these Persian manuscripts available online.

The Digital Princeton University Library (DPUL) Manuscripts of the Islamic World online collection is publicly accessible to all. Collection highlights include:

• the al-Madani Library Collection
• Illuminated Manuscripts
• the Yemeni Manuscripts Digitization Initiative (online only)

and the digitized collections continue to grow, so be sure to return as we expand digital coverage of the Manuscripts of the Islamic World collections.

If you would like to request a digitization of a manuscript in the Islamic World Manuscripts Collection, please make your request via the AskUs Special Collections form.

Please first search for the manuscript you want digitized by following the How to find manuscripts instructions, and then make your request with the relevant information.

Make sure to include the call number and catalog record url when making your request.
