The Saudi Manuscripts Exhibition, organized by the Saudi Libraries Commission, highlights the Kingdom's dedication to preserving its cultural and human heritage, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

Using advanced hologram techniques, the exhibition showcases manuscripts dating back more than 1,200 years, SPA said.
The exhibition has attracted a large number of visitors, immersing them in a rich cultural and civilizational legacy that spans centuries of knowledge and human development. It features manuscripts preserved by Saudi institutions, representing a documented cultural heritage of over twelve centuries. Notably, several unique pieces are being displayed for the first time.
Among the exhibition's highlights is The Title of Glory in the History of Najd, a manuscript over 100 years old, preserved by the King Abdulaziz Public Library in Riyadh. Another featured piece, Explanation of the Chapters of Hippocrates, is presented through hologram technology, allowing visitors to explore its chapters interactively and learn about its significant content.
This exhibition underscores Saudi Arabia's efforts to make its rich historical and intellectual heritage accessible to the public while employing cutting-edge technology to enhance engagement and understanding.

The Saudi Ministry of Culture signed in Jeddah an executive program with the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) to cooperate in supporting intellectuals, writers, and artists from Arab and Islamic countries.

The executive program outlines several areas of cooperation, including capacity-building for Arab and Islamic artists and writers, and joint international participation. The program aligns with the MoU for cultural cooperation signed with ICESCO in Riyadh in 2022.

Also in the presence of Minister of Culture Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, the ministry signed an implementation program with ICESCO to collaborate on the Illustrated Historical Dictionary of Arabic Calligraphy.
The program includes several areas of cooperation between the ministry and ICESCO, most notably the nomination of Arabic calligraphy experts from various institutions and institutes across the Islamic world to contribute to the dictionary through writing, editing, and review.

Additionally, the program involves collaboration in developing a framework for identifying the most renowned sources of Arabic calligraphy, including manuscripts, inscriptions, and artistic panels, across the Islamic world.
The program falls under the framework of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) for cultural cooperation between the two parties, which was signed in Riyadh in 2022.
