Abstract

This paper aims to present related issues of indexing and retrieving Arabic manuscripts in digital libraries. Composed Arabic manuscripts have been taken as samples of presentation in this paper. Comments are commonly found in AMSs, with varying purposes and forms of comments. A digital library should deal with composed AMSs according to their characteristics and users' requirements.
