Our latest piece explores how global literature reached Hyderabad via Urdu in the early 20th century. @MaleehaFatima15 & @riaaasath delve into two rare Urdu translations — of Doyle and Goethe — preserved in our collections.

From our top recommendations, @HistPhilosophy’s History of Philosophy remains a favorite.

It may be a bit squeezed into our already crowded bookshelves, but it continues to hold a special place in our collection.

A more tangible manifestation of anti-pest talismanic practices involved placing snakeskin or neem leaves (a common South Asian method) between folios. Here’s an image from my encounter with snakeskin tucked inside an 18th c. Mughal manuscript. Sharing it for double protection!

From a 250-year-old Mughal-era document preserved at the Telangana State Archives in Hyderabad, a stunning Tasmiyah crowns an official firman concerning the Holy Dip in the Ganga river.

Featured in Syed Muhammad ( @syedmohammedd )'s latest piece for The Hindu @the_hindu.

Features a traditional, extended, and now uncommon form of Tasmiya: 'Bi-ismihi Taʿālā' instead of the standard 'Bismillāh'. The addition of 'Sha’nahu' further reflects its Indo-Persian style, penned in elegant Nastaʿlīq script with indelible gold and red ink on a handmade paper.
