This is the first volume aimed at placing the enormous set of fragments from the Qubbat al-khazna on the map of Middle Eastern history as a corpus. As much as its famous sibling, the Geniza of Cairo, the Qubba was 'discovered' in the 19th century, but its over 200,000 fragments have remained on the margins of scholarship so far.

This book is essential reading for those interested in manuscript studies as well as in philology and Middle Eastern history.
