KFCRIS continued to enhance its collection of rare manuscripts and books.
The King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies (KFCRIS) continues to enhance its collection of rare manuscripts and books, issuing new scholarly catalogs that combine modern precision with classical authenticity to preserve Islamic heritage. The manuscripts section at the KFCRIS has witnessed significant developments, acquiring valuable early Islamic manuscripts and publishing updated catalogs documenting Qur'anic texts, readings, Hadith, and prophetic biography with meticulous methodology.
Through a series of distinguished steps, the KFCRIS secured some of the rarest heritage copies, from early Andalusian-script Maqamat al-Hariri to Mamluk Qur'ans with historic endowments, alongside rare Hadith and Sira commentaries, all cataloged for scholarly access. By acquiring rare manuscripts and issuing specialized catalogs, the KFCRIS reaffirms its commitment to supporting academic research and safeguarding Islamic heritage through precise documentation and open access for future generations.
