Notes
"The book provides an overview of libraries in early Saudi Arabia state from 1744 to 1818, and describes the factors behind the removal of the manuscripts and many other precious books that formed the property of these libraries. It refers all the conditions to the Ottoman military raids in the area. The book also presents a study of a special ottoman document that lists the books that were taken from early Saudi libraries to Medina. It states as well the sources from which the books listed were brought, mainly Hijaz, Yemen, and Iraq..." from book cover (translated from Arabic). Includes bibliographical references and index.
