During this time a forgotten about storeroom with no access door and a single window was discovered to contain a substantial cache of used Arabic manuscripts, almost all being ancient manuscripts of the Quran spanning the first few Islamic centuries. Before repairs to the storeroom were complete, five or more sacks of Quranic manuscripts were removed and deposited in the Awqf Library. Over time the curator of the library sold off the contents of the sacks unlawfully with some of the manuscripts ending up in Western libraries. In 1. 97. 2 in order to consolidate the north west corner of the external wall to the mosque, it was necessary to remove part of the roof to allow progress to be made in the restoration and renovation works. As the storeroom was also located in this area the remaining manuscripts were permanently removed consisting of some twenty sacks and placed in the National Museum. Reminiscent of the adventures of Indiana Jones, the re opening of the storeroom was photographed almost immediately after its occurrence, the Italian Islamic archaeologist Paolo Costa proudly kneeling in front of the cache of manuscripts cradling a folio of the Quran. After noticing the contents of the sacks were gradually diminishing, the Yemeni authorities realised these valuable Quranic manuscripts were yet again being sold off piecemeal. Consequently in an attempt to prevent further corruption, the remaining manuscripts were eventually retransferred back to the Great Mosque. At the international level an urgent call for the preservation of these manuscripts would soon gain widespread attention. Selective Desaturation Program there. A Colloquium on the Islamic City organised by the World of Islam Festival Trust, sponsored by UNESCO, was held at the Middle East Centre, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Cambridge, in July 1. Drawing a wide variety of experts from both the Muslim and non Muslim world, a number of specific research activities were recommended, amongst which was highlighted the pressing need to conserve the rich corpus of Quranic texts discovered in the Great Mosque of San. Apparently with no indigenous expertise to conserve the badly damaged manuscripts, Qd Isml al Akw, President of the General Organization Of Antiquities and Libraries initiated the effort to secure external specialists to conserve the manuscripts. As word spread of the find, Denmark contacted the Yemeni government with the offer to preserve the manuscripts on the condition they were sent to Denmark where the restoration work would take place. This offer was rejected by the Yemeni authorities who preferred the manuscripts to remain in the country. Finally, after much deliberation, al Akw authorised a special project funded by the cultural section of the Foreign ministry of West Germany, to restore and catalogue the manuscripts on location in Yemen. After the signing of a bilateral agreement titled Arrangement Between The Government Of The Federal Republic Of Germany And The Government Of The Yemen Arab Republic Concerning The Restoration And Cataloguing Of Arabic Manuscripts,5 work took place beginning in the autumn of 1.

Puin was subsequently replaced by his colleague Hans Casper Graf von Bothmer, an art historian from the Universitt des Saarlandes, who remained director until the end of the project in the final months of 1. It was in the midst of the conservation project the existence of this manuscript now known as San I was made known to the general public with the publication of Mashif San in 1.

Sadeghi and Goudarzis classification, was displayed along with some brief comments regarding the script and its contents. The folio was tentatively dated to the first half of the 1st century of hijra. A few years later Hans Casper Graf von Bothmer showcased a bifolio from this codex, folio 2. Sadeghi and Goudarzis classification. Discussing the script, contents and the fact it was palimpsest, von Bothmer tentatively dated the folio also to the first half of the 1st century of hijra. After the work had been completed, the assessment concluded there were almost 1,0. Quran comprising approximately 1. Quranic material. Funding for the project ran out before a catalogue or even a handlist could be compiled. Perhaps the most outstanding realisation was that a small percentage of these Quranic manuscripts displayed signs of great antiquity, allowing them to be placed with a degree of certitude into the 1st century of hijra. It was also discovered about one hundred manuscripts contained elaborate decorations. It would appear with the publication of these folios the importance of this codex became impressed upon those studying the most ancient Quranic manuscripts. It is from the context thus described that the story of codex San I emerges. In October 1. 99.
