Ḥamzah Kisâ’î</a>, is modern. His history comprises the following ‘’Prophets’’ : Âdam (fol. 11), Idrîs (fol. 42), Nûḥ (fol.44), Hûd (fol.54), Ṣâliḥ (fol.62), Ibrâhîm (fol.79) Ya’ḳûb and Yûsuf (fol.101), Aiyûb (fol. 125), Shu’aib (fol.136), Mûsa (fol.143), Yûsha’ (fol.180), Ilyâs (fol.182), al-Yasa’ (fol.188), Dâ’ûd (fol.190), Sulaimân (fol.215), Yûnus (fol. 256), Zakarîyâ , Maryam, and ‘Îsa (fol.265) . This work is of frequent occurrence. The text of it appears to vary much in different MSS. Several titles are also given to it. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashf_al-Zunun">Ḥ. Kh</a>. mentions it under خلق الدنيا , a title apparently derived from the account of the creation, which precedes the history of Adam (cf. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashf_al-Zunun">Ḥ.

The exordium runs in this copy as elsewhere; but the words which immediately follow it vary here slightly from the <a href="https://www.fihrist.org.uk/catalog/work_3070">Bodleian</a> and <a href="https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/bsb00008269?page=192">Munich</a> MSS. They are as follows (fol. 2): هذا كتاب جمعت فيه المبتدات فى خلق الارضين و السموات و خلق الانس و الجن واوائل احوال النبيين على قدر ما وقع الىّ من اخبارهم ووصل الىّ من انبائهم بعد ان اجتهدت فتخيّرت 2 ما قرب منها والغيت 3 ما بعد منها فما وافق منها الحق فهو الذى قصدناه و ما كان منها اختلافا فاثمه على من وضعه ووزره على من ابتدعه و ما توفيقى الا بالله عليه توكلت وهو حسبى و نعم الوكيل The history of Jesus includes eschatological matter, relating to his imminent return. Then follows an account of the events which happened after his ascension. It ends abruptly on fol. 281, where there is a lacuna. The rest of the MS. gives the history of St. George (جرجيس) , and concludes as follows: و هذا ما كان من حديثهم و الله اعلم بذلك Plainly written.

This recording provides an overview (38 minutes) of the Outer OAIS-Inner OAIS (OO-IO) Model by Eld Zierau. The OO-IO model uses the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model to provide a more detailed explanation of distributed digital preservation. Eld ZIerau, a digital preservation specialist at the Royal Danish Library, envisioned and specified the OO-IO model. Nancy McGovern, Director of Digital Preservation at MIT Libraries, collaborated on and contributed to the OO-IO model. This upload is identical to the version on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/233024801
