Abstract

The paleographic study of a sample of Mamluk period documents aims to determine the script used by judges for documentation and to resolve the dispute among Arab researchers, whose opinions have varied without providing scientific evidence to support any claim. The study adopts the inductive method to analyze handwritten signatures and extract their characteristics, followed by the deductive method to compare the results with the information recorded in al-Qalqashandī’s book, which holds significant paleographic and diplomatic value. The study reveals that the script used by judges was al-tawqīʿ and that it adhered to a strict system governing documentation practice in the Mamluk state.

Moreover, it investigates different cultural approaches to creation, management and provision of access to archives, records, and data. It also seeks to promote the exchange and comparison of concepts, views and attitudes related to recordkeeping issues around the world.Archival Science''s approach is integrated, interdisciplinary, and intercultural. Its scope encompasses the entire field of recorded process-related information, analyzed in terms of form, structure, and context. To meet its objectives, the journal draws from scientific disciplines that deal with the function of records and the way they are created, preserved, and retrieved; the context in which information is generated, managed, and used; and the social and cultural environment of records creation at different times and places.Covers all aspects of archival science theory, methodology, and practiceInvestigates different cultural approaches to creation, management and provision of access to archives, records, and dataPromotes the exchange and comparison of concepts, views, and attitudes related to recordkeeping issues around the worldAddresses the entire field of recorded process-related information, analyzed in terms of form, structure, and context
