Abstract:
This research study focuses on studying three unpublished copies of "Dala'il al-Khayrat" manuscript covers that currently preserve in the Egyptian National Library, dating to 13th-14th century AH/19th-20th century AD, and preserved with inventory no. Talaat Sufism 693-1098 and Khalil Agha Sufism 31. The study also delves into the decorative techniques of these covers and the ornaments that decorate them, and provides us with a meticulous analysis of the types of designs and decorative divisions, Furthermore, it provides a comparative analysis of parallels and distinctions between these covers and Moroccan and Indian-style manu-scripts cover of "Dala'il al-Khayrat.
