Description
The first comprehensive bibliography of Arabic texts and scholarly works on Arabic language and literature printed in Europe from 1505 to 1810, Bibliotheca Arabica remains the standard reference on the subject. Most of the books described by Schnurrer (1742–1822), professor of Oriental languages at Tübingen, were part of his own working library; which was acquired after his death by All Souls’ College, Oxford.
