Damascus: Al-Assad National Library has restored its valubale manuscript entitled 'Kitab al-Fawa'id fi 'Ilm al-Bahr wa al-Qawa'id' (Collection of Manuscripts of Benefits in the Science of the Sea and Rules And the abbreviation container in the origins of marine science and Arajiz) written by Ahmed bin Majid as-Saady after four years of being loaned by the brotherly Sultanate of Oman. The manuscript of the Arabian sailor, bin Majid, has been loaned to the Omani side since 2019 at their request to be recovered and displayed in the National Museum of Oman. It is a unique manuscript, and the period of its loaning to Oman was extended so that the largest possible number of visitors and Omani citizens can view it. 'Al-Assad National Library concluded its activities for this year with the return of this rare manuscript dating back to the 16th century CE', the Director General of the Al-Assad Library, Fadi Ghanem, said in a statement to SANA. Notably, this manuscript is considered the oldest one of Ahmad bin Majid in the world and contains a collection of Arajiz (poems) in marine science. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable figure. Source: Syrian Arab News Agency
