The book is a collective work that addresses a critical gap in understanding the role of Islamic populations in European history through their manuscript cultures. By examining a diverse array of Islamic texts-particularly those preserved only in manuscript form-this book highlights the multifaceted interactions between Islamic and European traditions.

The volume offers case studies based on four thematic cores: cataloguing and describing manuscripts, analyzing manuscript circulation and textual traditions, studying various scripts, and conducting diachronic linguistic analyses. The chapters delve into manuscripts of the Tatars of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Ottoman influences on South-Slavic literature, and significant Arabic texts in European collections.

This collective volume not only enriches the scholarship on European Islam but also serves as an essential resource for historians, linguists, and manuscript scholars interested in the complex legacies of multicultural exchanges in Europe.
