This prayer book is manuscript number 86 in a collection maintained in the Special Collections of the University of Leeds Library on behalf of the School of Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies. Fuller details are available.

This book has been comprehensively scanned at high resolution, revealing details of the text, paper texture and manufacture, and watermarks. We believe this product will be of interest to papyrologists, arabists, digital archivists and others.
