Use of Bookmarks from Ancient and Islamic Perspectives:
Ancient Perspective:
Bookmarks, in various forms, have a rich history dating back
to ancient civilizations. Here's a brief overview:
Ancient Egypt: One of the
earliest known bookmarks dates back to ancient Egypt, around 1500 BCE.
Egyptians used thin pieces of leather or papyrus to mark their scrolls. These
early bookmarks often featured intricate designs and were sometimes made of
precious materials like ivory or gold.
Ancient Greece and
Rome: In ancient Greece and Rome, bookmarks were made from a variety of
materials, including leather, parchment, and ribbon. These bookmarks were used
not only for marking places in scrolls but also for labeling and organizing
important texts.
Medieval Europe: During
the Middle Ages in Europe, bookmarks became more common as books and
manuscripts became widely produced. These bookmarks were often religious in
nature and included ribbons, tassels, or strings to mark pages.
Islamic Perspective:
In Islamic tradition, the use of bookmarks is rooted in a
deep respect for written texts, particularly the Quran and other religious
texts:
Quranic Bookmarks: Islamic
culture places a strong emphasis on the Quran, the holy book of Islam.
Bookmarks, often referred to as "ayah markers" or "Quran
markers," are commonly used to keep track of where one left off when
reading the Quran. These bookmarks are typically simple, functional, and
designed to show respect for the sacred text.
Islamic Calligraphy: In
Islamic art and culture, calligraphy plays a significant role. Bookmarks may
feature beautiful Arabic calligraphy with Quranic verses or religious sayings,
adding an element of artistic expression to their function.
Respect for Knowledge: In
Islamic tradition, knowledge and education are highly valued. Using bookmarks
is a way to handle books, including religious texts, with care and respect. It
reflects the broader cultural and religious reverence for learning and
scholarship.
In both ancient and Islamic perspectives, bookmarks have
served not only as practical tools for marking pages but also as symbols of
cultural, religious, and artistic significance. They continue to be valued for
their role in preserving and enhancing the reading experience.
