Le texte et l’objet

A groundbreaking approach to the preservation of Yemen's manuscript heritage, particularly focusing on the papers used in manuscripts, was pioneered by the Zabid Manuscript Preservation Program (PZ). This program emphasized the study of manuscript materials as a critical component of conservation efforts. Through three key actions—cataloging, digitization, and preservation—the PZ has systematically documented and safeguarded private library manuscripts, ensuring their longevity for future generations. The focus on material analysis, particularly paper studies, provides invaluable insights into the cultural and historical significance of these texts, contributing to the broader understanding of Yemen's intangible heritage.
