Bibliography of Selected Reference Materials
The Near East curator at the Yale University Library has listed here
a number of reference materials which may be used by researchers in Arabic, Islamic and Near Eastern Studies at Yale University.
The list is selected from the various collections within the Yale University Library system.
It includes books in English, Arabic, Persian, German and French.
Citations to Arabic and Persian books have been romanized.
The call number of the reference at Yale is at the end of each entry.
The term SML refers to the Sterling Memorial Library
at Yale; the Arabic Islamic Reading Room (AIRR) is located on the fifth floor of SML.
If you have any questions or comments, please write to the Near East Curator,
Mr. Simon Samoeil, at: simon.samoeil@yale.edu.
