And I am happy that you make preserving the manuscripts your priority.
I'm just concerned about what will be lost if you cannot save the physical manuscripts.

First I want to say that I am very happy to have supported you in this endevour to save these books.
I am appaled that people would destroy not only part of their own history, but the treasures left to humanity by our ancestors, and all humans should be able to witness it and see it preserved for future generations.
Now what I say next may seem callous, but have you considered to digitize/photograph the books, to make this your first priority instead of preserving the books themselves?
While these books are relics and should be preserved, I think that the content of a book is always more important then the book itself.
As long as you preserve what is written/drawn in some form or another, the books and what they stand for can never be truly destroyed, neither by time nor by the hand of religious fundamentalists.

I really hope it won't come to this.
So much of humanitys legacy has already been destroyed by people who value their irrational dogma over everything else.
