The Islamic
Scientific Manuscripts Initiative (ISMI) website at https://ismi.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de
covers the period to ca. 1350 CE. The mission is to make accessible information
on all Islamic manuscripts in the exact sciences (astronomy, mathematics,
optics, mathematical geography, music, mechanics, and related disciplines),
whether in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, or other languages.
