![]() One can very well maintain that the combination of scholarly activities with texts and the respect for the book has resulted in this astonishing accumulation of handwritten books in Islam. Private collections of manuscripts, often with large and important holdings, were, and still are, a common feature in the Islamic world. It should also be taken into consideration that, throughout the history of Islamic literatures, manuscripts have been copiously available. Doubtlessly, one can claim that, in numbers of texts, the Islamic manuscripts are the largest manuscriptual literature on earth. The result is that, despite the destruction of many libraries throughout Islamic civilization and history, there still remains millions of Islamic manuscripts, ranging from the earliest period till the today. In the course of time, this fundamental importance of the book in Islamic culture has only increased. More probably the emphasis on the importance of the Holy Book gave the book in Islam its central role. Muslims, from the very inception of Islam, through the emphasis of Qur'anic verses and also through the teaching of prophet Muhammad (PBuH) have always insisted on the importance of education, reading and teaching, which could not have happened except through written materials, i.e. The importance of book and its role, as well as the written word, in Islam can hardly be neglected or underestimated.
