copied in Egypt, in the 15th/16th century.-- Old oriental calf, blind- tooled decoration in the middle of both covers, rubbed and stained; flap missing.

Description 114 leaves; 7, 13 and 9 lines per page.-- 12 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches
Notes Dated 19 Rabi‘ al-Awwal, 943 (Sept. 5, 1536).-- Three different hands.-- The beginning of the book has 13 lines per page; then there is a much later paper with 9 lines per page; then the largest portion of the book has 7 lines per page.-- The first section is written is a flowing Indian Naskh of about the 18th century; the newest leaves are 18th or Early 19th century; the oldest are those of the 16th century.-- Red headings on old, brownish paper.-- The script of the oldest part is a curious Naskh, almost like the Khatti Bihar.-- There are many interlinear and marginal notes on every page.-- The entire ms. has been remargined (by the best bookbinder in Karachi, at the orders of this writer ) in white paper, and each leaf has been interleaved with a blank white leaf.-- The whole has been bound in half-leather gold-stamped hard-cover binding, so that it is entirely usable and quite a presentable ms.-- It is most interesting because the scribe, who gives his name as Adam b. Sikandar b. Ma‘ruf Multani, states that this copy was completed during
the time when the Mughal army was conquering the fort of Champaner.-- The Cambridge History of India states that the Emperor Humayun conquered Champaner on the 9th of August, 1535 (the scribe must have added his colophon later).-- This adds considerable historical value to the book and allows an exact dating of this variety of script.

Description 519 leaves; 13 lines per page.-- 21 x 12 1/2 inches
Notes N.d.-- No copyist.-- Written in black ―Khatti Bihar‖ script – a type of Indian semi Kufic-semi-Naskh script which went extinct in the 16th century with the fall of the Suri family.-- This is rare by itself – but even more interesting in the fact that this book contains an interlinear Persian commentary in extremely archaic Persian in an archaic script similar to Nasta‘liq but still much like Naskh.-- This translation is unknown and is definitely not Tabari, etc.-- Its language is quite archaic, and some words are completely unknown, even to the great dictionary, Burhani Qati‘.-- The margins also contain a short tafsir in the same Persian.-- The interlinear translation, punctuation, the name of God, chapter headings, etc. are red; the rest is in black.-- Yellow has also been used for symbols marking the ends of verses.-- Red and blue margin borders.-- When received, the margins of this book were terribly wormeaten (though the text had not suffered), but now all margins have been completely repaired with transparent plastic tape (made especially for books like this), and the

whole has beenrebound is three is no Persian translation or commentary.-- The other 29 sections are complete, legible and in good condition.-- This book deserves research.-- It may be a copy of a lost medieval translation and tafsir.-- The script is 9th-10th century Hijri, and other copies the author has seen are not so old, lack the translation and tafsir, and are often quite fragmentary.

Notes Colophon reads: ―….its author Abu Zakariya Yahya al-Nawawi (sic) stated, ' I finished it on Monday, 4 Ramadan, 670 [April 4, 1272 A.D.]' and the completion of the copying of these new leaves fell on Thursday night, 22 Muharram in the year 1121 [April 3, 1709] by the hand of…Sadiq b. Murad b. ‗Ashur…in Damascus, Syria‖.-- This implies that the old leaves were by al-Nawawi‘s own hand, and the archaic naskh bears out their antiquity (he died in 676/1278).-- Pages carefully copied and inserted make the book complete.-- Partially vowelled naskh.-- Valuable if Nawawi‘s autograph.-- Red headings, annotations.

Notes An eighth century hijrah copy of Sa‘d al-Din Mas‘ud al-Taftazani‘s al- Sarh al-Mutawwal, his extended commentary on an abridgement of al-Sakkaki‘s Miftah al-‗Ulum.-- Composed in 748/1347 in Heral, this work is one of the most influential books on rhetorics written in Arabic and survives in countless copies.-- Copied by Muhammad b. Ibrahim b. Sulaiman al-Ladiqi for personal use, it may have been written at most some 40 years after al-Taftazani finished his work, since the date furnished by the copyist reads, 7.5 (unfortunately the second cipher has been erased), but not before 757 at which date madrasa of Sargatmis where the copying took place was just finished.-- This pious institution lies in the vicinity of the b. Tulun Mosque in Cairo.-- (The Mosques of Egypt, (Cairo, 1949), vol. 1. pp. 59-60) 263 fols, 265 x 182 mm, 19 lines naskhi with underlinings in red; fol. 1 laid down; first and last part some smudges; fols. 92-111, 206 and 221 in different hand.-- Old red leather binding, damaged.

Notes Tafsir al-Qur‘an.-- This work seems to represent one of, at least three or four existing redactions the authors or which are still not yet identified.-- The original text, says F. Sezgin (1:27) was by Ibn Abbas (d. 68-70/687-689) and al-Tabari had it incorporated fully in his Tafsir as it was transmitted by ‗Ali b. Abi Talha (d. 120/737).-- In the four redactions consulted so far (2 in Chester Beatty, 1 in the Qarawiyyin in Fas and of al-Firuzabadi), the Isnads (chains of transmission) which evantually leads to al-Kalbi and Ibn ‗Abbas, differ widely.-- Of the Berlin version (no. 732) Ahlward says: ―nach dieser Riwaje, welche sich auf Hisam b. Muhammad al-Kalbi (d. 204/819) Stutzt Ruhrt Dies Werk von ibn Abbas her – dessen Aechheit in dieser form aber misslich scheint. Die Redaction gehort wel dem 4 Jahrhundert der Higra an‖.-- Juding from few authorities quoted in the text like al- Hakim al-Nisaburi (d. 404/1013) and some commentaries by the author on controversial dogmatic points apparently directed against the Mu‘tazilites, we can safely assume that the
author was a Shafi‘i and Ash‘ari scholar who lived in the 6th/12th either in Iraq or Khurasan. His views are clearly shown in his work in the following fols. 69a, 93a, 171b, 196a, 200a and 206b. Ibn ‗Abbas appears only twice in the whole work.-- The Reduction by the famous al-Firuzabadi (pub. in Cairo in 1316 A.H. under the title: al-Miqbas – etc) does not tally with our version neither do the rest (Ch.B. 4224, 5465; Qar. 928, Berlin 742) in spite of the striking similarities which can be observed in the texts.-- The 1st fol. and the last are missing. Written in a fine scholarly Mamluki Naskh by a least three scribes. Paper and types of script is typical of the eight / 14C, most probably written in Syria or Egypt. The whole work appears to consists of three vols. of which this is the 1st containing the commentary Surah 1-18.

85b.-- The last text of our manuscript is styled ―Kitab Wada‘ahu Hirmis ra‘s al-Hukama‘ wa Intahalahu wa Intaqabahu wa Imtahanahu Min Asrar an-Nugum (?) ―fol. 85b), and starts off, directly after the Basmala, with the purpose of its composition: ―Ana wasif Laka min amr as-sa‘ada ma yugtabat bihi wa yu‘azzam ma‘ahu…‖.-- The text purports to prescribe to physicians the propitious times for medication and ends on fol. 94b with the heading ―cupping‖ (higama), followed by the section ―on vomitting‖ (qai‘); ―yuhtar fi‘l—qai‘ kaun al-qamar fi‘t-taur (?) mas‘ud that al-ard..‘. The prescriptions found in this text are based on the observation of the stars used by the nomads in the deserts as guiding stars ―al-Kawakib al-Babaniya‖, fol. 85b.-- None of these three texts are found in Brockelmann‘s Geschichte der Arabischen Litteratur. M. Ullmann, in his Die Natur – und Geheimwissenschaften im Islam, Leiden, 1972, pp. 308, 280-1 and 290 respectively, knows of one copy only, kept in the Chester Beatty Library inder no. 5399, which contains these three texts in the same order; the Hermes text of that copy is not complete, however.-- More references to Hermes may be found in the index to Ullman‘s work and in GAS III 170-1, IV 42-3 and VII 50-8, especially p. 55 which mentions under no. 6a Kitab al-Asrar li Harmis used by Abu Ma‘sar in his Asrar an-Nugum. An account of the Hermetical tradition in EI III pp. 463-4 s.v. Hirmis (art by M. Plessner).-- 94 fols. 202 x 149mm, 17 lines nashi; fols 63b to 94b. 23 lines nashi; some drawings in the first text. A clean copy only slightly browned. The last three texts are dated, 11 years after the Nihayat al-Idrak, on 12 Safar, 1146/July 23, 1733 (fol. 94b.).-- Ownership entries are found on fol. 1a of Muhammad Sa‘id b. Pir ‗Otman, Amir Ahmad As‘ad b. Sulaiman ‗Arif, dated, 1188, Muhammad As‘ad, dated, 1220, Muhammad Sadiq Gahankiri and as-Saiyid Muhammad Tahir.

Description 289 fols. Notes Interesting astronomical codex containing i.a. ‗Abd al-Rahman as- Sufi‘s work on the use of the astrolabe.-- Fols. 2b-65 contain the Tasqih al-Idrak fi Sarh Tasrih al-Aflak, a commentary by ‗Abd Allah b. Fahr ad-Din (al-A‘rag) al-Husaini al-Mausili (d. 1188) on Baha‘ad-Din al-‗Amili‘s Tasrih al-Aflak.-GAL S II 595 6e (1 copy).-- Born in al- Mausil where he held the function of Hanafi mufti, our commentator later went to Baghdad where he was appointed wali Diwan al-Insa‘; besides the present work, which was glossed by his friend ‗Abd ar- Rahman as-Suwaidi (see Brockelmann, I.c. and S II 501), he wrote another astronomical treatise (following item), a work on kalam and some poetry.- Kahhala, VI 101, Zirikli IV, 112.-- 203x 80 mm, 21 lines clearly readable nashi with many excellent drawings;many annotations in the margin in the hand of the scribe and perhaps of ‗Abd ar-Rahim as-Suwaidi, grandson of ‗Abd ar-Rhaman (GAL S II 785, Kahhala V 212), whose ownership entry is found on the last page of this codex.--
As a special feature may be mentioned that our copy retains the author‘s colophon dated 15 Shauwal, 1182, while our copy was completed within 2 weeks after that date. The copyist gives as his name Zakariya.-- The second item is also a commenary by al- Mausili, similarly on a text by al-‗Amili. It is entitled Sawanih al- Qariha fi Sarh as-Safiha, dealing with the use of the astrolabe. Brockelmann doest not mention this commentary; it is, however, mentioned as Sarh as-Safina li‘l-‗Amili in Kahhala, I.c.-- Of particular interest is the fact that this copy mentions explicity in the preliminary that the author saw himself abliged to revise and correct his text ―li Katrat Tashif an-Nussah‖ (fol. 68b line 16 – fol. 69a line 7); at the last page the text one also finds a remark to the effect that it had been collated (fol. 95a in the margin).-- Although undated the unsigned, one may identify the copyist with the Zakariya mentioned in item no. 1 because of the similarity of the script.-- The text covers fols. 67b- 95a and has 21 lines clearly legiable nashi per page, with some glosses and collations in the margin.--
128 mss ARABIC 344
Notes Fols. 97b to 116a contain the first part of ad-Damamini‘s ‗Uyun al- fahira, his commentary on al-Hazragi‘s al-Qasida ar-Ramiza fi ‗ilm al- ‗Arud wa‘lqafiya.- GAL I 312, Ahlwardt 7116.-- Undated, in a different style, but possibly also by the same scribe. 21 lines nashi per page.-- The Fourth text is as-Sagani‘s Muhtasar al-‗Arud of which Brockelmann mentions three copies; it has not yet been edited. GAL I 361 8 and S I 615.-- 21 lines per page clear nashi, copied by Zakariya b. Molla (?), see nos. 1 and 2; the text covers fols. 117a to 124b.-- Fols. 127b to 289a contain ‗Abd ar-Rahman as-Sufi‘s al- ‗Amal bi‘l-Astrulab.- F + GAS VI 215.-- The astronomoer ‗Abd ar- Rahman as-Sufi was court astronomer of the Buyid ruler ‗Adud ad- Daula. One of the most eminent scholars in the field among the Muslims, he is best known for his work on the fixed stars, the Kitab Suwar al-Kawakib.-- The Present text is a nearly complete copy of his work on the use of the astrolabe, arranged in 402 abwab. Of the seven known copies, only three are complete; our copy lacks the 40th bab (fols. 151a-
152b) and has some blank spaces on various pages, intended for drawings; otherwise, it is sound and clear legible in the handwriting of Zakariya b. Molla Gum‘a (?) and dated 1183/1769. The Haydarabad, 1962. Edition was based on the (incompleted) copy of the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris.-- Lastly we might mention the ownership-entry of Sulaiman as-Suwaidi on fol. 1a dated, 1228. This member of the famous Suwaidi family Baghdad is credited with a commentary on al-Khatibi‘s ar-Risala as-Samsiya and mentioned in Brockelmann S II 785 and Kahhala IV 274. Together with the ownership-entry of ‗Abd al-Rahim as-Suwaidi mentioned in the first item and his grandfather‘s acquaintance with al-Mausili this manuscript permits an interesting insight in the scholarly life of a great Baghdadi family.

Description 41 fols, 160 x 108mm, with 13 lines skilful nash, colophon in Tulut, copied by Muhammad b. Ibrahim al-Hilmi az-Zaila‘i in the year 1302/1884.
129 mss ARABIC 345
Notes Small Ottoman manuscript: Dated‖ 1302/1886, concerned with talismans, the mysterious Qur‘anic lettercombinations (al-huruf al- muqatta‘at), an eulogy on the companions who fell at the Battles of Badr and Uhud, and an Ottoman-Turkish rendering of the Qasida Gulgulutiya ascribed to ‗Ali b. Abi Talib, with an accompanying Syriac- Arabic glossary.-- All texts embodied in this codex evidently were meant to invoke mediation and to secure immunity from evils.-- The First text (fols. 1-5), entitled al-Qasida as-Sarifa al-Maimuna al- Mubaraka, thus deals with the mysterious lettercombinations Taha, Yasin, Tasin & c., found at the head of some suras. The various uses to which there lettercombinations ca be put are set forth in an intricate poetic hotch-potch of nawadir (in arabic). These lines are accompanied by a magical quadrant (fol. 5) ascribed to ‗Ali b. Abi Talib.-- Fols. 6a to 12a contain first an Ottoman-Turkish rendering of the mysterious Qasida gulgulutiya commonly ascribed to ‗Ali, with a Syriac-Arabic glossary and Ottoman-Turkish instructions on
fols 11a-12a. The gulgulutiya does not belong to the Diwan of Ali and is extant in only ten manuscripts. Fuat Sezgin does not record any Ottoman-Turkish translation (GAS II 280).-- From fol. 12b onwards. An alphabetical list of the companions who assisted at the Battle of Badr (12b-33b) and Uhud (33b-41a) is given, each time followed with the wish that God grants immunity from sickness and evils by virtue of the intercession of the martyrs of Badr and Uhud. Muhammad b. Ibrahim al-Hilmi az-Zaila‘i , the scribe of the whole codex, cites on fols. 13a-b both Ga‘far as-Sadiq and Ibn Saiyid an-Nas who recommended the intercession of these companions.-- Contemporary red leather binding with flap, blindtooled decoration on both covers. An attractives, well-preserved and well-written manuscript.
