Al Qasimi Publications showcases its works at Doha Book Fair

A unique approach to historical documentation

In this rare annual release, His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah adopted a distinctive research approach. He gathered an extensive collection of Portuguese, Dutch, and British manuscripts, which he meticulously sorted, classified, and translated. The result is a highly reliable source that serves as a vital reference for researchers studying the region’s history and its political, economic, and social context during that period.

Sultan of Historic Encyclopedia

Also on display is the Sultan of Historic encyclopedia, comprising four volumes that delve into the history of Oman based on well-documented historical references. His Highness leveraged his strong academic foundation in history, geography, and archaeology, as well as his hands-on experience in document research. The encyclopedia draws heavily from his personal collection of rare books and exclusive references.

Recently released works

Al Qasimi Publications is also highlighting newly published titles, including the play The Blood-Stained Robe and Selections from the Jirunnameh, among other works that span various fields of knowledge.
