Scope content :

The Khalidiya Library manuscript collection is one of the largest in the world. The Library is a waqf trust, meaning that its benefits revert to the people according to the rule in the Islamic world. This Library stands as an example of the deeply rooted Islamic heritage in Jerusalem. It is a reflection of the city’s wealth of Islamic heritage and the vigorous breadth of its academic movement. When the Library is attacked and threatened with destruction and burning, it means that the struggle with Israel is not purely political but is a real threat to Islamic civilisation as a whole, aimed at its written word and all the principles and beliefs it contains.

The total number of manuscripts in the Library is 1,263 in the following languages:
Arabic: 1,309 manuscripts including a large number of collections comprising almost 2,000 titles,
Persian: 18 manuscripts,
Turkish: 36 manuscripts in Ottoman Turkish.

The oldest dated manuscript is from 418AH/1027AD, namely 'al-Mulakhas li al-Mutahaffazin' by 'Ali ibn Muhammad al-Ma'arifi known as Ibn al-Qabis, (d. 403AH/1012AD) on the science of hadith. The most recent dates from 1351AH/1932AD.

As for manuscripts written by the hand of their original authors, these are 112 titles forming a collection rarely found under one roof reflecting the care taken by the collectors to preserve the manuscripts. Among these are the collection by Taqi al-Din
al-Subki (written in 741–749AH/1340–1348AD) and the work 'Qasas al-'Anbiya'' by Ibn Abu 'Adsah al-Qudsi, (written in 856AH/1452AD) and many others.

Bibliography :

Catalogue of Manuscripts in Al-Khalidiya Library Jerusalem, compiled by Nazmi al-Juabah and edited by Walid al-Khalidi,, London : Al-Furqan Islamic Heritage Foundation, 2001/1422h
volume 1 : (the Holy Qur'an and its interpretations, hadith and its science, fiqh and jurisprudence, sufism, praise of the Prophet, shari'a literature and Sirah (life of the Prophet)

Professor Walid al-Khalidi in his introduction to the catalogue traces the Khalidi family tree from Shaykh Muhammad Shams al-Din al-Kabir (d. 837AH). He then takes the reader through the history of the Library, the hardships its establishment had to cope with until it almost failed during its century-long struggle.

The catalogue compiler, Dr Nazmi al-Ju'abah, describes the condition of the manuscripts and the principles of cataloguing.

The total of published titles in this catalogue is around 1,970 where 1,448 are in singular copies, the rest being repeated or having more than one part from different titles.

Rare manuscripts among the Library’s collection are included in the index of the second volume which is to be issued shortly (including all other topics together with indices and glossaries.)

Biography :

The history of the Khalidiya Library falls into three distinct periods. The first begins with its establishment and comes to a close with the end of Ottoman rule in Palestine. The second runs from the British occupation in 1917 through the mandate to end with the 1948 disaster and the third follows on until the Israeli occupation of Jerusalem in 1967 when the Library building was expropriated and its waqf-entrusted eastern upper storey overlooking the courtyard was occupied by Israeli soldiers. A bill was posted on the Library door declaring it expropriated as property of 'absent owners'. But Haydar al-Khalidi was able to use family documents to disprove the claim that the Library was the property of 'absent owners' and to reverse the expropriation. Thus, the Library was rescued from certain doom.
