The Library of Arabic Literature publishes authoritative Arabic editions and modern, lucid English translations. Some titles in the series, however, have ancillary or supplementary materials that could not be included in the published books. In those cases, we make those materials available on this page, which we will add to as more titles are published. We also include below errata and corrigenda.
