Description
Screenshot of al-Nuwayri's original encyclopedia; The screenshot was taken from the YouTube video "Elias Muhanna - Translating a Classical Arabic Encyclopedia." During the presentation, Elias Muhanna shows the audience an image of the vast volumes that are part of al-Nuwayri's original encyclopedic collection. Although Muhanna's translated copy is a compilation of smaller segments from the original, it highlights the immense amount of knowledge that was available for not only the Ottomans and encyclopedists but also other regions of early Islamic societies at that time.
