A commented English translation of Abu Hanifa, al-Fiqh al-akbar ( I ) can be found in A.J.

[2370] fols. 2v-7r: Sa'id Ibn Musa al-Halabi سعيد بن موسى الحلبي : Alam al-huda fi usul al-din علم الهدى في أصول الدين .
Our Ms. does not mention an author; however → Ms. Berlin 1875 and Paris 1128/3. The author and this text are also mentioned by Hajji Khalifa ( II 1161 ) who in addition gives an enumeration of the chapters in accordance with the mss. - Hajji Khalifa does not mention any date of the author; Brockelmann too could not identify him and his text ( → GAL II 978 no. 70 = II 995 no. 55! ) . According to the introduction, the author intends to write a summary of the orthodox creed. He refers to Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة and his pupil Abu Yusuf أبو يوسف and alludes to details which are more extensively discussed in the Hanafite Creed of Abu al-Barakat al-Nasafi أبو البركات النسفي ( died 710/1310; → GAL II 197; S II 268 ) , in his Umdat aqidat ahl al-sunna wa-al-jama'a عمدة عقيدة أهل السنة والجماعة ( ed. W. Cureton, Pillar of the Creed of the Sunnites, London 1843 ) . As the Berlin Ms. of Sa'id Ibn Musa's Alam al-huda was copied during 738/1337, the author may have written in the 13th/14th century A.D. fol. 7v contains a short prayer, with notes in the margin.
[2371] fols. 8v-31v: Muhammad Ibn al-Jazari al-Shafi'i محمد بن الجزري الشافعي : al-Muqaddima al-Jazariya fi al-tajwid المقدمة الجزرية في التجويد , with anonymous commentary. The Muqaddima by Ibn al-Jazari ( died 833/1429 ) consists of approximately 108 rajaz-verses on the reading of the Koran. It was very often commented: → GAL II 202 no. 8 and S II 275f. no. 8. The numerous commentaries in the Berlin Library ( Ms. nos. 511ff. ) and in Princeton ( nos. 235ff. ) do not contain a similar commentary. Noteworthy is the first sentence of the commentary which in fact is a quotation from the commentary al-Hawashi al-mufahhima fi sharh al-Muqaddima الحواشي المفهمة في شرح المقدمة by Ibn al-Jazari's son Abu Bakr Ahmad Ibn Muhammad أبو بكر أحمد بن محمد ( → Ms. Berlin 511 ) . This observation confirms the remark by C. Rieu ( Supplement to the catalogue of the Arabic mss. in the British Museum, London 1894 ) in his description of a second copy of our text in the British Museum ( Suppl. no. 94 = Or. 4150, fols. 59-78 ) : "It is evidently abridged from the commentary of the author's son."

[2386] fols. 250r-v: Some student's notes.
[2387] fols. 251r-255r: A fully vocalized prayer with some notes in Turkish; written in red ink. Between 251v and 254v two folios ( green paper ) are inserted. They contain notes on religious duties. On fol. 255v are some fragments from prophetic traditions and from an anecdote on the Sufi Junayd.

Ms. 143.
104 folios; 14×19 cm; ±21 lines; naskhi ( different hands ) and nasta'liq ( fols. 58-85 ) . Single words are written in red ink. Text on fols. 96v-104r within a double-lined red frame. Paper sometimes damaged and water-stained; in a few cases repaired ( some loss of text on fols. 58ff. ) . Pasteboard binding ( damaged ) with red leather spine. Several owners' remarks: fol. 1r mentions al-Hajj Muhammad al-Chelebi and ( with the date Rajab 1286/October 1869 ) Rashid Ibn Sayyid Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Sayyid Abd al-Rahim al-Khatib; fol. 2r mentions Muhammad Sayyid al-Qadiri al-Khatib; fol. 88r mentions Abd al-Khaliq al-Qarafi and the year 1244/1828-29. The oldest date, however, can be found on fol. 2r: during 999/1590-91 Abd [cut off] al-Zubayri al-Makki al-Zabidi became owner of the Ms. ( fols. 2-33; compare the remark below on fol. 34v ) . fol. 57v mentions as date 6 Rajab 1091/2 August 1680 and Rajab as copyist; fol. 95v mentions 10 Rajab 1207/17 February 1793 and the copyist Muhammad Ibn al-Hajj Hasan al-Tabaristani and fol. 104r the date Dhu al-Hijja 1136/August 1724.

This legend on Zayd, the son of the caliph Umar Ibn al-Khattab, also called Abu Shahma أبو شحمة ( → 6r12 ) , can with variants also be found in two Berlin mss. ( 8997 and 8998 ) entitled Qissat Abi Shahma Ibn Umar Ibn al-Khattab قصة أبي شحمة بن عمر بن الخطاب and Fi Fadilat Umar Ibn al-Khattab wa-waladihi Abi Shahma في فضيلة عمر بن الخطاب وولده أبي شحمة respectively. A summary of the contents can be found in Ahlwardt's description of the Berlin Ms. 8997.
The beginning ( after the Basmala ) differs from the Berlin mss.:
الحمد لله ربّ العالمين والصلاة والسلام على سيدنا محمد خاتم الأنبياء والمرسلين وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين ، حدثنا أبو جعفر الوراق عن عطاء بن عروة الهروي عن أحمد بن عبد الله المرواني رضي الله تعالى عنهم أجمعين وعن بقية الصحابة والتابعين ، قال : لما ولي عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه الخلافة كان يقضي بالمعروف في الموضع الذي كان أقضى فيه أبو بكر الصديق ...
End ( different from the Berlin mss. ) :
... فعند ذلك طابت نفس عمر وذهب ماكان يجده من الخوف هوو هل بيته وهذا ما انتهى إلينا من قصة عمر بن الخطاب و وليه زيد و قيل أبو شحمة و السلام و لا حول و لا قوة إلا بالله العلي العظيم و صلى الله على سيدنا محمد و على آله و صحبه و سلم ,
[2391] fols. 6r-33r: Kitab al-Azama كتاب العظمة , ascribed to Ibn Hibban ابن حبان .
A fanciful description of paradise and hell. The author relies heavily on Islamic religious traditions. The Ms. mentions Ibn Hibban as author on fols. 2r and 6r; this may be a wrong rendering of Ibn Hayyan ابن حيان who lived 274/887-369/979 ( → GAS I 200f. ) . The text is transmitted in varying versions; our Ms. is different from the Kitab al-Azama ascribed to Abu Shaykh أبو شيخ which is described by Anton Heinen, Islamic Cosmology ( Beirut-Wiesbaden 1982. = BTS 27 ) , p.38ff. and which is edited by Rida' Allah Ibn Muhammad al-Mubarakfuri رضاء الله بن محمد المباركفوري ( Riyad 1408/1988 ) . Some preliminary remarks on the authorship can be found in Wim Raven ( who is preparing an edition of the unpublished version ) , A Kitab al-Azama: on Cosmology, Hell and Paradise, in: Miscellanea arabica et islamica.

[2393] fols. 38v-57v: Muhammad Ibn Salama Ibn Ja'far Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ali Ibn Nasr al-Quda'i محمد بن سلامة بن جعفر بن محمد بن علي بن نصر القضاعي : Kitab fi al-wasaya wa-al-amthal wa-al-hikam min kalam rasul Allah = Kitab al-Shihab = Kitab Shihab al-akhbar fi al-hikam wa-al-amthal wa-al-adab min al-ahadith al-marwiya an al-rasul al-mukhtar كتاب في الوصايا والأمثال والحكم من كلام رسول الله = كتاب الشهاب = كتاب شهاب الأخبار في الحكم والأمثال والآداب من الأحاديث المروية عن الرسول المختار.
Further mss. and other titles of this unedited work can be found in GAL I 343 no. 2 and S II 584 no. 4. The author ( died 454/1062 ) collected from Hadith gnomological sayings ascribed to the prophet Muhammad. The isnad إسناد is omitted.
[2394] fols. 57v-87r: A titleless summary on diseases and their treatment, beginning with diseases of the head.
The first 4 lines of the introduction ascribe the text to Ibn Sina ابن سينا .
This can not be correct, however for the lines are added later and, besides this, the following text scarcely has any similarities with Ibn Sina's medical encyclopedia al-Qanun القانون , which in book III discusses diseases starting with the head and ending with the feet ( = ed. Bulaq 1294/1877, repr. Beirut II 1ff. ) . The text was perhaps ascribed to Ibn Sina because of some principal convergences with Ibn Sina's Qanun. The anonymous author aims at a summary according to the practical rules ( al-qawanin al-amaliya القوانين العملية ) and has - as he explicitly informs us - omitted remedies of the 10 brain diseases. In this point he differs from Ibn Sina's Qanun, which in the first chapter on the diseases of the head included the diseases of the brain. In the structure of the text the author follows a common scheme.
An identification seems to be impossible as there are no convincing similarities either to Ibn Sina or to later adaptions of the Qanun by e.g. Najib al-Din al-Samarqandi نجيب الدين السمرقندي ( died 619/1222 ) ; compare Dietrich, Medicinalia, pp. 74ff. and ( on Najib al-Din ) p. 212. As the author of our text wrote his summary on behalf of "al-Amir Muhammad الأمير محمد ", who is given the epithet "Muftakhir al-fatiya al-sayfiya مفتخر الفتية السيفية ", we should consider a ruler with the names Muhammad and Sayf al-Din سيف الدين .
Since the time of the Ayyubids quite a lot of emirs received the epithet Sayf al-Din: → H.L. Gottschalk, al-Malik al-Kamil الملك الكامل von Egypten und seine Zeit, Wiesbaden 1958, index p. 247; Edouard Zambaur, Manuel de généalogie et de chronologie pour l'histoire de l'Islam ( Hannover 1927 ) , index s.n. "Sayf al-Din " mentions two persons who could have been addressed by the author of our text, the Ghurid Sayf al-Din Muhammad Ibn al-Husayn غرد سيف الدين محمد بن الحسين ( died Rajab 558/June 1163; → Zambaur 284 ) and ( with more probability ) the Burhani Muhammad III Ibn Abd al-Aziz II برهاني محمد بن عبد العزيز from the Burhani-family in Bukhara who ruled ca. 560/1164-5; → Zambaur 210; O. Pritsak, Al-i Burhan, in: Der Islam 30, 1952, p. 81-96, esp. 91.
The text consists of 150 chapters, of which the first eight are listed here:
1) fi al-suda' al-mutawallid min al-harr في الصداع المتولد من الحر (58v).
2) fi al-suda' al-mutawallid min su' mizaj barid في الصداع المتولد من سوء مزاج بارد (58v).
3) al-suda'a fi ahad shiqqay a-ra's الصداع في أحد شقي الرأس (58v-59r).
4) waj' al-ra's min aradin darabahu وجع الرأس من عرض ضربه (59r).
5) al-zukam al-hadith min buruda الزكام الحادث من برودة (59r-v).
6) al-zukam min harara الزكام من حرارة (59v).
7) ramad al-ayn رمد العين (59v).
8) zulmat al-basar ظلمة البصر (59v-60r) etc.
Beginning ( after the Basmala ) :

The first chapter begins on fol. 58v1:
الباب الأول في الصداع المتولد من الحرّ ، هذا يكون إما من سبب خارج كحرّ الشمس وغيره وإما من داخل كأخذ الأدوية الحارّة والأغذية الضارّة للدماغ ، علاجه ...

The treatise criticizes piety only for the sake of success and reward and was written by the author during 972/1564. According to Hajji Khalifa ( sub title ) , the text is a reaction to Abu al-Su'ud al-Imadi أبو السعود العمادي ( died 982/1574; → GAL II 439; S II 651 ) who refuted al-Birgili's Inqadh al-halikin إنقاذ الهالكين ( GAL II 440 no.1; S II 654 no.1 ) .

Beginning and end differ slightly from the edition by M. Wolff, El-Senusi's Begriffsentwicklung des muhammedanischen Glaubensbekenntnisses, arabisch und deutsch, Leipzig 1848; generally, the Ms. does not differ from the printed version. On Sanusi ( died 892/1486 or later ) → GAL II 250 II; S II 353 II and on his creed compare Daiber, Mu'ammar, p. 188 and references given there.

Our Ms., a Hanafite collection of fatwas, has no author; it mentions the title on fol. 141r ( Kitab al-Nuqaya fi ilm al-hidaya ) . The author ( killed 536/1141 in Samarqand; → GAL S I 640 ) is mentioned in other mss. ( → Princeton no. 1001 ) ; unlike to the opinion of Brockelmann ( GAL I 374 ( 2462 ) no. 3; however, corrected in S I 640 no. 3 ) the text is different from Ms. Berlin 4812; it is often transmitted anonymously and based on the Fatawa by Qadikhan ( died 592/1196; → GAL S I 643f. ) .
As the survey of chapters in the catalogue of the Buhar Library ( no. 153 ) shows, the first three chapters ( bab باب ) of the still unpublished text are missing in our Ms. which starts with the end of the Kitab al-Salat, in the section ( faslفصل ) on Salat al-musafir صلاة المسافر ; the missing part is approximately 18 folios in the Buhar Ms. ( less than one-third of the whole text ) .
On fol. 141v follows a short praise of God and an admonition ( maw'iza موعظة ).

Original pasteboard binding, damaged. Owner's stamp on fol. 1r. According to a note on fol. 1r the Ms. was bequeathed by Muhammad al-Qarmashli Ibn Ni'ma Ibn Muhammad Ibn Husayn Ibn Hasan Ibn Zulafi Ibn Abd Allah from the tribe al-Zandan in Diyarbakir at the Great Mosque to his son Muhammad Sa'id, to his grandson Muhammad Rashid and to the ulama' of al-Sanah in the year 1269/1852-1853. The full names are added later, with the year 1278/1861-2. On fols. 69v-70r is a list of the birthdays of several persons with dates ranging between the year 1257/1841 and 1284/1867/1868. fol. 31v mentions the scribe "Muhammad" and the year 1241/1825-1826; fol. 93r mentions as date of the copy the year 1253/1837. Parts of the Ms. may have been written by the first owner, Muhammad al-Qarmashli ( → fols. 7r and 32v ) .
[2406] fols. 1v-7r: Salih صالح : Kalimat fi bayan madhhab al-ta'ifa al-Yazidiya wa-hukmihim wa-hukm al-amwal al-ka'ina bi-aydihim كلمات في بيان مذهب الطائفة اليزيدية وحكمهم وحكم الأموال الكائنة بأيديهم , with commentary by Muhammad al-Barqal'i محمد البرقلعي .
On the top of the first page the copyist added: hadhihi mas'alatun qala al-Yazidin هذه مسألة قال اليزيدين ( sic ) . The above-mentioned authors cannot be identified.
The text is an interesting document on the Yezidis, a Kurdish tribe which had their own religion with many syncretistic features ( → Th. Menzel, art. Yazidi in EI IV, 1934 ) . It was written perhaps at the beginning of the 19th century ( or somewhat earlier ) , but before 1837, the date of the copy, and starts with a survey of the doctrines of the Yezidis, from the Muslim point of view ( fols. 1v-2v ) . It continues with a discussion of the legal aspects of those who renounce their Yezidi religion, the conditions of their conversion to Islam and the consequences for their propriety ( 2v-4v ) . This is followed by a commentary, written by Muhammad al-Barqal'i, to the preceding text ( fol. 1v4 till 3v, ult. ) ; the commented text is introduced by qawluhu قولهand overlined in black ink ( fol. 4v6-7r ) .
Our text is different from a much younger Ms. ( written 1305/1889 ) published by R.Y. Ebied and M.J.L. Young, An Account of the History and Rituals of the Yazidis of Mosul, in: Le Muséon 85, 1972, pp. 481-522; this text does not include a discussion of the legal aspects of Yezidis living in a Muslim environment.
An analysis of our Ms. may contribute to the modern discussion on the Yezidis; → now John S. Guest, The Yezidis: A Study of Survival, London 1987 and the review by M. Moosa, JAOS 109, 1989, 447f. - On the legal position of non-Muslims, the Dhimmis, → Bath Yeor, The Dhimmi. Jews and Christians under Islam, Toronto 1985.

Together with each tradition Ibn Hajar mentions the transmitters and their reliability. As the author informs us, he used a collection of traditions written by al-Mundhiri المنذري ( died 656/1258; → GAL I 367 ) .

A later hand informs us that Burhan al-Din Sibt Ibn al-Ajami studied this Takhrij together with Zayn al-Din al-Iraqi. This is repeated on fol. 27v in a later confirming note by a different hand, that of Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim Ibn Muhammad al-Sallafi محمد بن إبراهيم بن محمد السلافي who gives the additional information that the copyist of the Takhrij, al-Dahhan Ibn al-Halabi al-Khawafi الدهان بن الحلبي الخوافي , studied the Takhrij together with Burhan al-Din Sibt Ibn al-Ajami. al-Sallafi gives this date: 19 Dhu al-Hijja 876/28 May 1472.

During the first days of Dhu al-Qa'da 849/January 1446 Izz al-Din Abd al-Salam was visited in Cairo by Ahmad Ibn Nizam al-Din Bahram al-Makki al-Shafi'i أحمد بن نظام الدين بهرام المكي الشافعي , who asked him to explain the riddles ( alghaz ) of verses on different topics made by the well-known poet Badr al-Din Husayn Ibn Isa Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Muslim Ibn Akki Ibn al-Ulayyif ( or: al-Ulayf ) بدر الدين حسين بن عيسى بن محمد بن أحمد بن مسلم بن عكي بن العليف , also called sha'ir al-Batha' شاعر البطحاء .
The full name of the author ( 770-859/1369-1455 ) is Izz al-Din Abd al-Salam Ibn Ahmad Ibn Abd al-Mun'im Ibn Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Kaddum Ibn Umar Ibn Sa'id al-Husayni al-Qaylawi al-Qahiri al-Hanbali al-Hanafi عز الدين عبد السلام بن أحمد بن عبد المنعم بن أحمد بن محمد بن كدوم بن عمر بن سعيد الحسيني القيلوي القاهري الحنبلي الحنفي ( → Kahhale V 222 ) . He is not mentioned in Brockelmann ( GAL ) , nor can we find our text in any bio-bibliographical source. The poet Ibn al-Ulayyif ( or: Ulayf ) can be found in GAL II 171 no.2; it is still unknown whether our verses are included in the collection of Ibn al-Ulayyif's poems compiled by Muhammad Ibn al-Husayn al-Samarqandi al-Makki al-Madani محمد بن الحسين السمرقندي المكي المدني during 1008/1591 ( → GAL ) . Notweorthy, however, is the fact that, according to Ibn al-Imad ابن العماد , Shadharat IIX 141, 9f. ( taken over by Kahhale I 208 ) Ibn al-Ulaiyif is said to have been born in 851/1447; this cannot be correct, as the author of our text mentions the year 849/1446 and, in addition, refers in the introduction to Shams al-Din Muhammad al-Bisati شمس الدين محمد البساطي , who some time before Izz al-Din already tried to solve the riddles of Ibn al-Ulayyif. As al-Bisati is said to have died in 842/1439 ( → Kahhale VIII 291 ) this must have been shortly before this date of death. The unavoidable conclusion is therefore that the biobibliographical sources have confused the dates of father and son; according to Ibn al-Imad, Shadharat VIII 141, 8, both are called "Ibn al-Ulayyif ( Ulayf ) ". The Ms. is collated; a unique and old copy.

[2443] fols. 68r-74r: A titleless astrological fragment. The beginning is missing. With a drawing ( fol. 70v ) and with tables ( fol. 72r ) . The text begins with a chapter ( fasl فصل ) on ma'rifat siyasat al-mulukمعرفة سياسة الملوك .
[2444] fols. 71r-v is inserted from a different work and contains Nasir al-Din al-Tusi نصير الدين الطوسي : al-Sultaniya fi al-raml السلطانية في الرمل ( the beginning is missing ) . The Persian version can be found on fols. 74r- 82v: Nasir al-Din al-Tusi: al-Sultaniya fi al-raml = ( apparently ) al-Wafi fi ilm al-ramlالوافي في علم الرمل , in Persian.
The title of this treatise on geomancy ( raml; → Fahd, Divination, pp. 147ff. ) cannot be found in the text; however, compare fol. 74r22f. with the beginning in Ms. Princeton 5141 and München 880. The text seems to be identical with Tusi, Risala al-Wafi fi ilm al-raml رسالة الوافي في علم الرمل , of which more mss. are listed in GAL I 512 no. VIII and S I 933 no. VIII.
A short description of Tusi's book on geomancy ( according to the Ms. in Munich ) can be found in Strothmann pp. 66f.
[2445] fols. 83r-84r: Some explanations and notes concerning astrology, in Turkish.
[2446] fols. 84r-90r: Abu Abd Allah Zanati Maghribi أبو عبد الله زناتي مغربي : Fi bayan shara'it al-raml في بيان شرائط الرمل .
On geomancy, in Turkish. Abu Abd Allah al-Zanati أبو عبد الله الزناتي ( lived before A.D. 1230, apparently belonged to the North African Berber tribe of Zanata زناتة ) is mentioned as authority in two Arabic mss. on raml رمل ( mss. Berlin 4201 and 4202 ) ; our text is perhaps a fragment from a Turkish translation of Zanati, Hulul al-ashkal = Kitab al-Fasl fi usul al-raml حلول الأشكال = كتاب الفصل في أصول الرمل ( mentioned with some mss. in Fahd, Divination, pp. 201f.; on prints → Savage-Smith p. 3, n. 8 ) or of Zanati, al-Aqwal al-mardiya fi al-ahkam al-ramliyaالأقوال المرضية في الأحكام الرملية ( mentioned by Savage-Smith ) .
In the margin are some notes. On fol. 90v follows a note on Ali علي , in Turkish.
[2447] fols. 91r-v: Ahmad Zarruq al-Burnusi al-Fasi أحمد زروق البرنسي الفاسي : Ta'sis al-qawa'id wa-al-usul wa-tahsil al-fawa'id li-dhawi al-usul تأسيس القواعد والأصول وتحصيل الفوائد لذوي الأصول , a fragment, in Turkish.

[2448] fols. 91v-92r: Adud al-Din al-Iji عضد الدين الإيجي : al-Risala al-wad'iya الرسالة الوضعية .
On the author ( died 756/1355 ) and his semantic treatise → GAL II 208 no. III; S II 288 no. III; on a Ms. with commentary → Daiber, Catalogue, no. 1, fols. 91v-132v.
[2449]fols. 92v and 93r contain some notes and excerpts, in Turkish.
[2450] fols. 93v-101v: Abu al-Qasim Ibn Abi Bakr al-Laythi al-Samarqandi أبو القاسم بن أبي بكر الليثي السمرقندي : Fara'id al-fawa'id ( awa'id ) li-tahqiq ma'ani al-isti'ara فرائد الفوائد ( عوائد ) لتحقيق معاني الاستعارة =al-Risala al-Samarqandiya الرسالة السمرقندية or Risalat al-isti'ara al-Samarqandiya رسالة الاستعارة السمرقندية , with commentary ( sharh شرح ) and with glosses ( taqrir تقرير ) which in part are in Turkish.
On al-Samarqandi ( wrote in the 9th/15th century ) , his treatise on the metaphor and the numerous comments → GAL II 194 no. I and S II 259 no. I. Our Ms. has the title Taqrir al-isti'ara تقرير الاستعارة ; however, it mentions no author. fol. 93v3f. is a quotation from the beginning of the Risala al-Samarqandiya.
In the margin are some notes. On fol. 101v follows a short excerpt from a work by Ayn al-qudat Hamadani عين القضاة همداني ( died 525/1131; → GAL S I 674f. ) , in Turkish.
[2451] fols. 102r-104r: Notes and excerpts ( in part in Turkish ) from different works on astrology and divination, including one table and three circles.
[2452] fols. 104v-106v: Ahmad Ibn Taj al-Din أحمد بن تاج الدين : Risala ( fi al-jafr ) رسالة ( في الجفر).
The author of this treatise on divination from letters refers to a question which he was asked during 1073/1662-63 ( 105r3-6 ) ; therefore we can conclude that the end of the 11th/17th century was the lifetime of the author. He is perhaps identical with Ahmad Ibn Ibrahim أحمد بن إبراهيم , who died ca. 1100/1689 ( → Kahhale I 179 ) . On fols. 106r and v are two tables.
