CORRECTION: The 5/29 edition of Pluralistic quoted $20k Rebyota; this was the rumored pre-release price; the actual average wholesale price is $10.8k. Thanks to Benjamin Jolley for catching this error, and to Stephen Skolnick for getting to the bottom of it.

What security secrets lie hidden in the letters of Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots? Behold the amazing “spiral lock”, a complex, beautiful, and highly secure letterlocking mechanism. Our research on it is published today! bl.uk/eblj/2021artic…
The article coincides with a major exhibition at the @BritishLibrary, which includes letterlocking models and videos alongside original documents by both Mary and Elizabeth. bl.uk/events/elizabe…
As ever at Unlocking History, we were lucky enough to work with amazingly talented students who helped us develop this beautiful visual language for explaining our research – Nicola Araya, Annie Dunn, and Matthew Li.
The case of the return of two solemn Greek Orthodox Patriachal documents and an 18th century Ottoman firman has been highlighted in this tweet from @artlawles. It is an interesting case that is also relevant to the ongoing debate over the return of looted cultural treasures 1/6
According to records kept by the #BritishLibrary @britishlibrary the rare sigallia confirming the patriarchal value of the Holy Monastery of Panagia #Chrysopodaritissa and the related Turkish Sultanate firman of 1786 (pictured) were "presented" in 1988 by Walter Stecklemacher 2/6
Reports suggest that they were looted from the monastery by archaeologists in 1979 and later sold abroad. A keen observer saw them on the British Library’s website and in due course the relevant Greek antiquities authorities were notified and formally approached the Library 3/6
Something went wrong with the thread on #Qurʾan #exegesis in #Urdu so let me try to reconstruct the remaining tweets 9/
First I want to mention perhaps the earliest proper #Shii exegesis was ʿUmdat al-bayān of Maulvī ʿAmmār ʿAlī (1828-1889) who has studied in Lucknow with Mumtāz al-ʿulamāʾ Sayyid Muḥammad Ibrāhīm (1819-1972) and later taught in Lahore and Delhi - I haven't located a copy 10/
From the 1970s we have the rather literary exegesis of the prolific Sayyid Ẓafar Ḥasan Amrohī (d. 1989) who worked extensively in India before moving to Pakistan in 1950 11/
One of many copies in the #BritishLibrary of al-Tuhfa al-mursala ila (ruh) al-nabi of the (Shattari?) Muhammad b. Fadlallah Mubarakpuri (d. 1619) 1/
#Mubarakpuri wrote the work in 1590 and emanating from Western India into the #Indianocean and #SEAsia it became a major and simple conduit for the dissemination of the #IbnArabiSchool and its metaphysics 2/
In libraries around the world there are numerous copies as well as studies and editions and translations by the like of A.H. Johns books.google.co.uk/books/about/Al… 3/
