Abstract:

In Diyarbakır Ziya Gökalp Library of Manuscripts, there are 115 manuscripts in Arabic on qiraat (recitation of the Holy Quran) and tajweed (the style in which Quran is recited) studies. In the current study, all the 115 works were identified, with brief and succinct information supplied for every one of them. Not only were the erroneous names previously been given to some of the works contained in the accession record were corrected but also those which lacked information about their authors were provided with vital information. Furthermore, the treatises contained in some of these volumes but not included in the inventory list were also found and identified. Taking all these into account, the present study intends to contribute to the work of academicians and researchers by drawing particular attention to the books and treatises not available in the library catalog, as well as those available in this catalog with only inadequate information about them.
