• “The British Library collection of Arabic Manuscripts is world-famous. It is one of the largest collections in Europe or North America, comprising almost 14,000 manuscripts, representing nearly 20,000 works covering a broad subject scope including  sciences and medicine”. “The British Library’s Collection of Incunabula (15th century printing) is, similarly, unrivaled in size and scope: some 12,500 incunabula representing about 10,390 editions, out of an estimated surviving 28,000 editions. The invention of printing with movable type saw the beginning of a mass production and a Europe-wide mass distribution of texts and associated images. This created radically new conditions for the diffusion of ideas, information, and artistic styles throughout  Renaissance Europe”. Many of those fifteenth century editions document the influence of Islamic Medieval Medicine on Europe. Such an evidence can also be found  in a group of “153 Medieval Medical Manuscripts held in the Harleian Collection, one of the foundation collections of the British Library. These codices are of the greatest importance for the history of medieval medicine in Western Europe as they span from the eighth century to the early 1500s”.
