Il nucleo di manoscritti arabi provenienti da San Martino delle Scale e conservati presso la Biblioteca Centrale della Regione Siciliana

Among the manuscripts located into the Central Library of the Sicilian Region “Alberto Bombace” in Palermo there is a nucleus of Arabic manuscripts coming from the Benedectine Monastery of San Martino delle Scale, as testified by the shelf-mark "S.M.", indicating that they used to belong to the Library of San Martino delle Scale’s Monastery. Through an in-depth philological and historical investigation, the author will try to give a general description of the documents providing a reconstruction of their arrival to San Martino delle Scale first and then to the Central Library of the Sicilian Region.
