Ms.1.

250 folios; 21×15,5 cm; up to 27 lines; Turkish handwriting, sometimes without diacritical points; paper occasionally damp-stained. Text fol.1v-28v and fol.39v-62v within gold frame. Modern half-leather binding. Copied in 1120/1708 (145r); 1170/1756 (250r); 1191/1777 (28v); 1192/1778 (62r; 87v); 1193/1779 (37v); 1197/1782 (29r).

[1001] fol.1r: Contents of the ms. (titles of fol.91v and 137v are missing in the ms.). Owner's mark: al-Sayyid Muhammad Ibn al-Sayyid Hajji Mustafa (?) and the year 1228/1813; on the left stamp "al-Hajji Khalil 1188 (1774)".

[1002] fol.1v-28v: Abu Sa'id Muhammad al-Khadimi أبو سعيد محمد الخادمي : Khaza'in al-jawahir wa-mahasin al-zawahir خزائن الجواهر ومحاسن الزواهر .
On the author (died after 1176/1762) and this mystical interpretation of the Basmala البسملة see GAL II 351 nr.2 and S II 664 nr.2. - Fol.28v and the contents of fol.1r mention al-Basmala as title. The text may therefore be identical with the Risalat al-Basmala رسالة البسملة (nr.4 in GAL) which has been printed in Istanbul 1261/1845.
Between fol.21v and 22r two smaller folios are inserted; one of them contains a fragment from al-Khadimi, Sharh al-tariqa شرح الطريقة (s. the text on fol.29v-30r).

[1003] fol.29r: Ahmad Ibn Sulayman Ibn Kamal أحمد بن سليمان بن كمال : Shaykh Akbar Muhi al-Din Arabi شيخ أكبر محيي الدين عربي .
A short enumeration of some works of Ibn al-Arabi ابن العربي (died 638/1240); cf. the list of OSMAN YAHYA, Histoire et classification de l'oeuvre d'Ibn Arabi, I-II, Damas 1964.
The author of this enumeration is Ahmad Ibn Sulayman Ibn Kamal Pasha (died 940/1533); see GAL II 449; S II 668.

[1004] fol.29v-30r: A definition of philosophy and logic (no title).
The latest source mentioned (fol.29v10 is Sharh fiqh al-akbar شرح فقه الأكبر by Ali al-Qari al-Herewi علي القاري الهروي (died 1014/1605; see GAL II 394; S II 539). In the margin is added Tariqa Muhammadiya, Sharh Khadimi طريقة محمدية، شرح خادمي . Thus the fragment may be derived from the commentary on al-Birkawi/al-Birgili البركوي / البرگلي (died 981/1573; cf. GAL II 441 nr.15; S II 655 nr.15), al-Tariqa al-Muhammadiya الطريقة المحمدية , by al-Khadimi الخادمي (died 1176/1762; see above). This commentary is normally called al-Bariqa al-Mahmudiya البريقة المحمودية (see GAL S II 655 nr.15f.).

[1005] fol.30r-30v: al-Rasul Efendi ا الرسول أفندي , a note on the nine categories (maqulat مقولات ); no title.

[1006] fol.30v: A short note on the art of disputation (munazara مناظرة ).

[1007] fol.31r: Laz Efendi Aqa Saydawi لاز أفندي آقا سيدوي : Sharh شرح .
A short commentary on Sura 11, 108 (110). The copyist has added to the name the variant Aqa Saydali آقا صيدلي . The author cannot be identified.

[1008] fol.31v-37v: Ibrahim al-Husayni إبراهيم الحسيني : Risalat qiyas muta'arif wa-ghayr muta'arif رسالة قياس متعارف وغير متعارف .
A commentary on a logical treatise. The author of the commentary is mentioned 31v3 and according to 31v19 was a pupil of Abu Sa'id al-Khadimi أبو سعيد الخادمي (died 1176/1762; see above 1v).

[1009] fol.39v-62v: Isam al-Din Ibrahim Ibn Muhammad Ibn Arabshah al-Isfara'ini عصام الدين إبراهيم بن محمد بن عرب شاه الإسفرائني : Sharh al-isti'arat al-Samarqandiya شرح الاستعارات السمرقندية .
A commentary by Isam al-Din (died 944/1537; see GAL II 410; S II 571) on Abu al-Qasim Ibn Abi Bakr al-Laythi al-Samarqandi أبو القاسم بن أبي بكر الليثي السمرقندي , Fara'id al-fawa'id li-tahqiq ma'ani al-isti'ara = al-Risala al-Samarqandiya فرائد الفوائد لتحقيق معاني الاستعارة = الرسالة السمرقندية (cp. GAL II 194; S II 259).
The title of this treatise on the metaphor is not mentioned in the ms.; cp. however ms. Berlin 7299. - The commented text is overlined in red. - In the margin are notes by Zayn al-Din زين الدين (fol.41r); Shaykhzadeh شيخ زاده (41v); al-Sayyid Abd Allah السيد عبد الله (43r; 45r; 47v); al-Sayyid al-Sharif السيد الشريف (43v) and Ahmad أحمد (54r; 57v).

[1010] fol.39v-62r: In the margin of the above-mentioned text and separate from the notes: Abu Nafi' Ahmad Ibn Muhammad al-Qazabadi (or Isma'il Ibn Muhammad al-Qazabadi, see fol.62r) (أبو نافع أحمد بن محمد القازابادي (أو إسماعيل بن محمد القازابادي : Sharh ala al-farida شرح على الفريدة .
A commentary on the above-mentioned al-Risala al-Samarqandiya الرسالة السمرقندية . On this still unedited text see GAL S II 260 nr.10 (2 mss.), where the author is called "Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn al-Nafi' al-Qazabadi أحمد بن محمد بن النافع القازابادي ". - The commented text is overlined in red or written in red ink. - The texts of Isam al-Din and al-Qazabadi are separated from each other by gold or red lines.

[1011] fol.65v-87v: Hasan (Ibn Muhammad) al-Zibari (al-Kurdi) حسن (بن محمد) الزيباري (الكردي) : Hawashin ala al-sharh al-mansub ila Isam al-Din Ibrahim.. ala risalat al-isiti'arat lil-Mawla... Abi al-Qasim al-Laythi al-Samarqandi حواش على الشرح المنسوب إلى عصام الدين إبراهيم .. على رسالة الاستعارات للمولى ... أبي القاسم الليثي السمرقندي .
On fol. 25r the title is abbreviated as Hashiyat Isam ala l-isti'ara حاشية عصام على الاستعارة . The full name of the author who wrote around 1040/1630 can be found in ms. Berlin 7304.
The text is a supercommentary on the commentary by Isam al-Din عصام الدين on al-Risala al-Samarqandiya الرسالة السمرقندية (see above fol.39v); cf. GAL II 194, I 1c; S II 259, I 1c.
The text of the Risala al-Samarqandiya is written in red ink; the commentary of Isam al-Din is overlined in red and in the margin the copyist has added a few notes.
BROCKELMANN (GAL II 194 I 7 and S II 260 I 7) mentions al-Zibari once more as the author of a commentary on al-Risala al-Samarqandiya. In view of the fact that our text, which is identical with mss. Berlin 7304 and Gotha 2803, is a complete commentary, it seems unlikely to separate with BROCKELMANN between the commentary and the "notes" of al-Zibari. Accordingly, the authorship of the text in ms. Gotha 2807 (mentioned in GAL II 194 I 7) is not quite clear.

[1012] fol.91v-132v: Isam al-Din Ibrahim Ibn Muhammad Ibn Arabshah al-Isfara'ini عصام الدين إبراهيم بن محمد بن عرب شاه الإسفرائني : Sharh ala al-risala al-wad'iya شرح على الرسالة الوضعية (by Adud al-Din al-Iji عضد الدين الإيجي ).
A commenary by Isam al-Din (died 994-1537) on al-Iji's (died 756/1355) semantic treatise on the term wad', called al-Risala al-wad'iya, with notes by Abd Allah al-Kurdi عبد الله الكردي . Further mss. of this still unedited commentary see GAL II 208, nr.5 and S II 289, nr.5. On al-Iji's treatise cf. B. WEISS, A Theory of the Parts of Speech in Arabic, Arabica 23, 1976, 23-36, esp. 24ff.
Contrary to ms. Berlin 5315 our ms. has added an introduction on fol.91v-92r3. The text of al-Iji is written in red ink. Our text is incomplete and ends on fol.132v with the commentary on yata'ayyanu bi-ma huwa ma'nan fi-hi يتعين بما هو معنى فيه .

[1013] fol.137v-142v: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي (البرگلي) : Dhukhr al-muta'ahhilin wa-al-nisa' fi ta'rif al-ithar wa-al-dima' ذخر المتأهلين والنساء في تعريف الإطهار والدماء .
About the purity and impurity of women, with many glosses on the margin (esp.141v-142v). On the author (died 981/1573) and further mss. of this still unedited text see GAL II 441 nr.11 and S II 655 nr.11. - Acccording to the colophon (142v; cf. also ms. Berlin 4671) the treatise was composed by the author in 979/1572.

[1014] fol.143r-145r: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي (البرگلي) : Iqaz al-na'imin إيقاظ النائمين .
About the blameworthiness of being pious only for the sake of success and reward. The treatise was composed in 972/1564 (s. fol.145r). According to Hajji Khalifa (Kashf al-zunun, listed under the title) the text is a reaction to Abu al-Su'ud al-Imadi's أبو السعود العمادي (died 982/1574; see GAL II 439; S II 651) refutatoin of Birkawi's Inqadh al-halikin إنقاذ الهالكين (cf. GAL II 440 nr.1; S II 654 nr.1 and the following text in our ms.).
In the margin are many glosses. For further mss. of this still unedited text cf. GAL II 441 nr.16 and S II 656 nr.16.

[1015] fol.146v-148v: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي (البرگلي) : Inqadh al-halikin إنقاذ الهالكين .
About the question whether one is allowed to receive money for the recitation of the Koran or not. Further mss. of this still unedited text are mentioned in GAL II 440 nr.1 and S II 654 nr.1. - Cf. also the preceding text, fol.143r-145r.
A few glosses can be found in the margin of the text which is not complete at the end (ends with al-mabhath al-thani: fi haqiqat al-riya' المبحث الثاني : في حقيقة الرياء ).
The following six folios are blank.

[1016] fol.155v-188r: Molla Khosraw (Muhammad Ibn Faramurz Ibn Ali) ملا خسرو (محمد بن فرامرز بن علي) : Mir'at al-usul fi sharh mirqat al-wusul مرآة الأصول في شرح مرقاة الوصول .
A commentary by Molla Khosraw (died 885/1480) on his Mirqat al-wusul (printed; see GAL II 227 nr.2; S II 317 nr.2). In the margin notes can be found from the following scholars: Ahmad al-Rumi أحمد الرومي (161v-163r and 179v; identical with Khosraw al-Rumi خسرو الرومي who is mentioned GAL S II 317 nr.2d?); Ibn Malak ابن ملك , Sharh manar al-anwar wa-jami' al-asrar شرح منار الأنوار وجامع الأسرار (163r; 182v) = perhaps Ibn al-Malak Abd al-Latif Ibn Abd al-Aziz ابن الملك عبد اللطيف بن عبد العزيز (died 797/1395; GAL S II 315) who is mentioned in GAL S II 315 nr.4 as author of Sharh manar al-anwar (cp. also Bursali Mehemmed Tahir, Osmanli Mü'ellifleri, Istanbul 1334/1915-1343/1924 (repr.1971), I 219, -7ff.); anonymous, Miftah al-usul مفتاح الأصول (168r) = perhaps anon., Miftah al-husul li-Mir'at al-usul مفتاح الحصول لمرآة الأصول as mentioned in GAL S II 317 nr. 2k; Mufti Tarasusi مفتي طرسوسي (169v; printed: see GAL S II 317 nr.2b.c); Hasan Chelebi حسن چلبي (162r; 182v) = Hasan Chelebi Ibn Muhammad Shah Ibn al-Fanari حسن چلبي بن محمد شاه بن الفناري , who died 886/1481 (see GAL S II 321f.); anon., Talwih تلويح (182v); anon., Tahrir تحرير (160v). The text is incomplete at the end.

[1017] fol.194r-250r: Sachaqlizade al-Mar'ashi ساچقلي زاده المرعشي : Taqrir al-qawanin al-mutadawala min ilm al-munazara تقرير القوانين المتداولة من علم المناظرة .
About logic and the art of disputation, composed in 1117/1705. On the author and the mss. of this still unedited text see GAL II 370 nr.6; S II 498 nr.6. - Fol.200 is blank; as a comparison with ms. Berlin 5333 shows, some text from the end of the introducton to the end of the first maqam مقام = al-ta'rifat التعريفات is missing.

Ms.2.

89 folios; 21×15,5 cm; 17-18 lines; Turkish handwriting, unvocalized. Paper sometimes with water stains. Modern half-leather binding. Hand of the end of the 12th/18th century.

[1018] fol.1v-60v: Muhammad Ibn Abi Bakr محمد بن أبي بكر : Arba'un hadithan fi al-afw wa-al-ghufran = Kitab Usfuri أربعون حديثا في العفو والغفران = كتاب عصفوري .
A few glosses are added in the margin. The same text can be found without introduction in ms. Berlin 1545 which ends on fol.60r1 of our ms. The Berlin ms. has neither title nor author. BROCKELMANN (GAL S II 942 nr.128) has supposed "al-Usfuri العصفوري " to be part of the author's name, but could not identify the text and the author. He does not mention the Berlin ms. A further ms. is in Bagdad, Maktabat al-Awqaf nr.545 (s. Abd Allah al-Juburi عبد الله الجبوري , Fahras al-makhtutat al-arabiya fi Maktabat al-Awqaf al-Amma fi Baghdad فهرس المخطوطات العربية في مكتبة الأوقاف العامة في بغداد , Bagdad 1973, p.180). - The mss. in the possession of Brill as mentioned by BROCKELMANN (GAL) are now in Princeton (Garrett-collection) nr.1443 and 1445; they give Kitab Usfuri as title and Muhammad Ibn Abi Bakr as author; the ms.1445 is copied in 965/1558; this means that the text must be composed before the 11th/16th century.

[1019] fol.62v-85r: Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani ابن حجر العسقلاني : al-Munabbihat ala al-isti'dad li-yawm al-ma'ad المنبهات على الاستعداد ليوم المعاد .
The title is mentioned 62v4 and can be identified by comparison with the Berlin mss. 8505p; 8706/1; 8706/2; 8766/3 and 8706/5. But the mss. show divergences; cf. ms. Berlin 8706/2 and ms. India Office Library (London) 187 which are slightly abridged. For further mss. and the editions see GAL II 69 nr.34 and S II 74 nr.34.; Catalogue of the Mingana Collection of Manuscripts IV = Islamic Arabic Manuscripts, Birmingham 1963, nr.159 and 1029.

Ms.3.

155 folios; 25×18,5 cm; 25 lines; nasta'liq; brown paper, stained with water, sometimes repaired. Modern half-leather binding. Copied 1000/1591 (or, in part a few years later; see the note on 155r which is not quite clear).

[1020] fol.4v-155r: Ubayd Allah Ibn Mas'ud Ibn Taj al-Shari'a عبيد الله بن مسعود بن تاج الشريعة : Sharh al-Wiqaya شرح الوقاية .
A commentary by Ubayd Allah Ibn Mas'ud Sadr al-Shari'a al-Thani عبيد الله بن مسعود صدر الشريعة الثاني (died 747/1346) on Wiqayat al-riwaya fi masa'il al-Hidaya وقاية الرواية في مسائل الهداية , an abridged version of the Bidayat al-mubtadi' بداية المبتدئ , a hanafite compendium on the furu' فروع by Ali Ibn Abi Bakr Ibn Abd al-Jalil al-Marghinani علي بن أبي بكر بن عبد الجليل المرغناني (died 593/1197). The abridgement wrote Burhan al-Din Mahmud برهان الدين محمود , a brother of al-Marghinani. On the text cf. GAL I 377 and S II 646. The margin of the ms. contains many glosses. The commented text is overlined in red ink; he is indicated by the red letter "m م " (= matn متن ); the commentary is indicated by the red letter "sh ش " (= sharh شرح ). Titles are written in red ink. Between fol.27v and 28r two slips with notes are inserted, some of them by Ahmad Chelebi أحمد چلبي .

Ms.4.

170 folios; 21,5×15,5 cm; 23 lines; naskhi; modern half-leather binding. Handwriting of the end of the 12th/18th century. Owner's remark on fol.160v with the year 1292/1875.
The arrangement of the folios is not correct; fol.1-22 should be 12-41; fol.23-28 should be 164-169; fol.29-99 should be 42-112; fol.100-110 should be 1-11; fol.111-118 should be 113-120; fol.119-126 should be 13-20; fol.127-169 should be 121-163.

[1021] Anonymous: An extensive commentary to Sura 2.
The text is not complete at the beginning. The anonymous author refers to the canonical collections of traditions (al-Tirmidhi الترمذي , Abu Da'ud أبو داوود , al-Nasa'i النسائي , Malik Ibn Anas مالك بن أنس , Ahmad Ibn Hanbal أحمد بن حنبل , al-Bukhari البخاري , Muslim مسلم ); he cites Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة and esp. al-Shafi'i الشافعي ; furthermore: al-Baghawi البغوي (perhaps Abu Muhammad al-Husayn Ibn Mas'ud al-Farra' al-Baghawi أبو محمد الحسين بن مسعود الفراء البغوي who died 510/1117: see GAL I 363f.; S I 620); Ibn al-Arabi ابن العربي , Ahkam al-qur'an أحكام القرآن (it is not clear, whether this text is identical with the commentary by Abd al-Razzaq al-Qashani عبد الرزاق القاشاني which is ascribed to Ibn al-Arabi; see on this ascription O. YAHYA, Histoire et classification de l'oeuvre d'Ibn Arabi, II, Damas 1964, p.483f.); the commentaries by al-Tabari الطبري and Fakhr al-Din al-Razi فخر الدين الرازي (died 606/1209; cf. GAL I 506; S I 920); the commentary by Muhi al-Din al-Nawawi محي الدين النووي (died 676/1277) to the collection of traditoions by Muslim (mentioned in GAL I 160; S I 265); finally (69r8) Abu Mas'ud al-Dimashqi أبو مسعود الدمشقي (= Ibrahim Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ubayd al-Dimashqi إبراهيم بن محمد بن عبيد الدمشقي who died 400/1010: see KAHHALE I 101) on the authenticity of a tradition. Therefore the terminus post quem of this commentary is the 7th/13th century.

Ms.5.

301 folios; 22×17 cm; 27 lines; naskhi; modern half-leather binding; hand of the early 12th/18th century.
Beginning and end as well as fol.22-26 are missing. As a comparison with ms. Berlin 8836 shows the ms. contains the following text:

[1022] al-Birkawi (Al-Birgili) البركوي (البرگلي) : al-Tariqa al-Muhammadiya الطريقة المحمدية , with an extensive anonymous commentary.
al-Birkawi (died 981/1573) describes in this work the exemplary life modelled on that of Muhammad. The text starts in the ms. with chapter 3, section 2. - Cf. GAL II 441 nr.15 and S II 655 nr.15. In the margin are glosses by Rajab Efendi رجب أفندي . They may perhaps derive from Rajab Ibn Ahmad رجب بن أحمد who wrote around 1087/1676 a commentary to the Tariqa طريقة (called al-Wasila al-Ahmadiya الوسيلة الأحمدية ; see below ms. nr.6).

Ms.6.

220 folios; 31,5×21,5 cm; 31 lines; naskhi; modern binding. Copied by Yusuf Ibn Uthman Ibn Husayn in Gülshehri during Safar 1147/July 1734.

[1023] Rajab Ibn Ahmad رجب بن أحمد : al-Wasila al-Ahmadiya الوسيلة الأحمدية .
On this commentary on al-Birkawi البركوي , al-Tariqa al-Muhammadiya الطريقة المحمدية (cf. above ms. nr.5) see GAL II 441 nr.15b and S II 655 nr.15b. - The commented text is overlined in red. The first seven folios are missing.

Ms.7.

67 folios; 21×15 cm; 15-22 lines; naskhi; modern half-leather binding. Between fol.63v and 67r2 folios from another ms. are inserted (s. below). Copied 1098/1686 (fol.31v; 50v by al-Hajji Hasan Ibn Molla Muhammad) and 1097/1685 (643v by Mustafa Ibn Bakr).

[1024] fol.1v-31v: Abu Hamid al-Ghazzali أبو حامد الغزالي : Bidayat al-hidaya بداية الهداية .
On this author (died 505/1111) and his treatise on religious ethics (composed afer his Ihya' ulum al-din إحياء علوم الدين ) see description of ms.265.

[1025] fol.32v-43v: Anonymous: Hayat al-qulub li-ma yazulu bihi ilal al-jahl wa-al-dhunub حياة القلوب لما يزول به علل الجهل والذنوب .
The text is identical with mss. Berlin 1891 and 3142 and ms. Mingana (Birmingham) 1296. It is not mentioned in GAL and deals in seven chapters with the duties of the believer (see the description of ms. Berlin 1891 by AHLWARDT). Some folios contain glosses in the margin (esp.40v and 41r). Our ms. is the oldest copy of the text which must therefore have been composed before the 11th/17th century.

[1026] fol.44r-48v: Anonymous: Fusul ashara فصول عشرة .
The author is not mentioned. Hajji Khalifa (Kashf al-zunun IV nr.9093) and BURSALI MEHEMMED TAHIR, Osmanli Mü'ellifleri (Istanbul 1334/1915-1343/1924) I 18 mention Ibn Isa Ibn Majd al-Din al-Aqhisari al-Sarukhani ابن عيسى بن مجد الدين الأقحصاري الصاروخاني (died 967/1559) as author of such a work. It is a treatise on ritual purity and on prayer, in 10 chapters.
It is not yet clear, whether the text should be identified with Ibn al-Majdi al-Qahiri al-Shafi'i ابن المجدي القاهري الشافعي (died 850/1447; see GAL S II 158), al-Fusul al-ashara الفصول العشرة (entered in GAL S III 1259, supplement to 159.10, nr.28).

[1027] fol.49v-50v: al-Hajji Hasan Ibn Molla Muhammad الحاجي حسن بن ملا محمد : an explanation of iman إيمان , in six short chapters.
Author and text are not mentioned by the bio-bibliographical sources. According to the colophon the text is copied by the author himself in the year 1098/1686.

[1028] fol.52v-63v: An extract from a work on jurisprudence (fiqh فقه ).
The text must be composed after the 11th/17th century: fol.61v mentions al-Qadi Abu Bakr Ibn al-Arabi القاضي أبو بكر بن العربي who wrote during the time of Murad IV whose reign was 1058-1099/1648-1687, Siraj al-muridin سراج المريدين . That title is not mentioned in GAL (S II 647), however by Hajji Khalifa, Kashf al-zunun III nr.7081.

[1029] fol.64r-64v; 67r: Some notes on the use of the Siwak سواك , a stick used for cleaning the teeth and on prescriptions for prayer.

[1030] fol.65r-66v: al-Ghazzali الغزالي : Ayyuha al-walad أيها الولد .
A fragment. On the author (died 505/1111) and the text (= ed. TOUFIC SABBAGH, Al-Ghazali, Lettre au disciple, 2e éd. Beyrouth 1959, p.37, 11-45, 13) see GAL I 423 nr.32 and S I 750 nr. 32.

Ms.8.

161 folios; 21×15 cm; 21-24 lines; naskhi; titles and beginnings of the chapters are written in yellow ink. Paper sometimes slightly damaged. Between fol.61 and 62v a loose folio with glosses; also between 112v and 113v: a folio with an extract in Turkish from al-Maghnisawi المغنساوي , Sharh al-fiqh al-akbar شرح الفقه الأكبر (by Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة ). - Modern half-leather binding. Copied in 1182/1768 (112v; 149v) by Ahmad Ibn Ibrahim in the Madrasat Sakhmanara at Janpur.
After a short remark on the ubi-sunt-gui-ante-nos-theme (the present generation will perish like the former prophets and even Muhammad) on 1r and after the enumeration of the contents (2r-3v) the ms. contains the following texts:

[1031] fol.4v-112v: Anonymous: Zubdat al-wa'izin fi bayan kalam rabb al-alamin زبدة الواعظين في بيان كلام رب العالمين .
The text is not mentioned in GAL but can be found in Hajji Khalifa (Kashf al-zunun III nr.6840), also without author. The beginning of the text as transmitted by Hajji Khalifa proves the identity of both texts. It is a compendium (mukhtasar مختصر ) in 48 chapters of which 6 chapters should be studied every week.
The text is a devotional book containing much material from Islamic law, the Koran, tradition and legends. We find anecdotes about al-Hasan al-Basri الحسن البصري (9r; 14r; 51v; 57v; 64r; 65r; 71v; 76r; 90v; 109r), figures of the Old Testament, sometimes with Wahb Ibn Munabbih وهب بن منبه as source (55r6; 79r9; 88r14; 109r); legends about Jesus (49r; 101r; 103r; 105v), about Abd al-Rahman Ibn Firdaws عبد الرحمن بن فردوس (76v), Abu Dharr al-Ghifari أبو ذر الغفاري (45r), Abu Mansur al-Maturidi أبو منصور الماتريدي and his 80 years old teacher shortly before his death (61r14ff.); Ali Ibn Abi Talib علي بن أبي طالب (40r; 75r, -3ff.); Abu Ja'far al-Tayyar أبو جعفر الطيار (67r); Mansur Ibn Uthman منصور بن عثمان (58v; 59r); Ma'ruf al-Karkhi معروف الكرخي (77v, ult.ff.); Sultan Mahmud سلطان محمود and lyas إياس about the question of standing before the Sultan as a mark of esteem (cf. on this K. DILGER, Untersuchungen zur Geschichte des osmanischen Hofzeremoniells im 15. und 16. Jh., München 1967, p.77f.; H. KINDERMANN, Über die guten Sitten beim Essen und Trinken, Leiden 1964, p.131f.); Sahl Ibn Abd Allah (= al-Tustari?) سهل بن عبد الله (التستري ؟) 34r and 45r; Uthman عثمان (70v); Yahya Ibn Sulayman يحيى بن سليمان (78r).
Most of the cited sources belong to Hanafite circles of the 6th/11-12th century. The Fatawi فتاوي by Bazzazi البزازي (= Hafiz al-Din Muhammad Ibn Muhammad al-Bazzazi حافظ الدين محمد بن محمد البزازي who died 827/1424: see GAL II 225; S II 316) on fol.21v8 form the terminus post quem of this text. It must have been composed between 827/1424 and 1067/1657 (death of Hajji Khalifa). It is not only a collection of Hanafite rules of Islamic law but also an important compilation from sometimes old and rare sources.
In the margin the copyist has added many glosses, mainly philological explanations in Turkish of single expressions; the source is Akhtari أختري or Akhtari kabir أختري كبير (8v; 15v; 24r etc.) = most likely the Arabic-Turkish dictionary of Mustafa Ibn Shams al-Din al-Qarahisari al-Akhtari مصطفى بن شمس الدين القرحساري الأختري (died 968/1560: see GAL S II 630; cf. ms. Berlin 7000 and 7001). - Many glosses are ascribed to a man called "(al-)Qadi القاضي " (16r; 20r; 27r etc.), some to "Rajab رجب " (28r; 98r; 100r) or "Rajabiya رجبية " (27v; 28r; 68r) ; cited texts are the Masabih مصابيح (106v), the Sharh masabih شرح مصابيح (20v) or al-Masabih wa-sharhuhu المصابيح وشرحه (97v) = perhaps Masabih al-sunna مصابيح السنة by al-Husayn Ibn Mas'ud al-Farra' al-Baghawi الحسين بن مسعود الفراء البغوي which has been commented many times (see GAL I 363 nr.1 and S I 620 nr.1); the Jami' mawa'iz al-Bukhari جامع مواعظ البخاري (5r; 5v; 22r); Mishkat al-anwar مشكاة الأنوار (30r; 30v) = perhaps the title mentioned in GAL S I 751; Kashf al-haqa'iq كشف الحقائق (17v); Shaykhzade شيخ زاده , al-Hashiya lil-Qadi al-Baydawi الحاشية للقاضي البيضاوي (4v; cf. GAL S I 739 nr.12 and S II 650); Tabyin al-maharim تبيين المحارم (5r; according to GAL II 387 and S II 452 and 524 acribed to Sinan al-Din Yusuf Ibn al-Wa'iz سنان الدين يوسف بن الواعظ who wrote around 1000/1591), al-Ta'rifat التعريفات (10r); Tibyan تبيان (16r); Mukashafat al-qulub مكاشفة القلوب (30r; by al-Ghazzali الغزالي : see GAL I 425 nr.61 and S I 755 nr.61); Fara'id فرائد (31r); Umar al-Nasafi عمر النسفي (46v; cf. GAL I 427; S I 758); Bahjat al-anwar بهجة الأنوار (54r); al-Tanbih التنبيه (65v); al-Ihya' wa-al-rawda الإحياء والروضة (66r); Tafsir al-Shaykh تفسير الشيخ (98r) etc. - Our text is cited in the anonymous collection of sayings by the prophet in the ms. Berlin 1646/2 (written around 1200/1785).

[1032] fol.113v-149v: Anonymous: Kitab ahwal al-qiyama = Daqa'iq al-akhbar fi dhikr al-janna wa-al-nar كتاب أحوال القيامة = دقائق الأخبار في ذكر الجنة والنار .
This eschatological text has neither title nor author; it is identical with the text which is edited by M. WOLFF, Muhammedanische Eschatologie, Leipzig 1872 and with the numerous editions bearing the title Daqa'iq al-akhbar دقائق الأخبار etc., see GAL S II 420; cp. S I 346). - In the margin the copyist has added philological notes from al-Akhtari الأختري (see preceding text). fol.153v-160r: A collection of excerpts from the following texts:

[1033] 1) Jila' al-qulub جلاء القلوب (by al-Birkawi البركوي : see GAL II 440 nr.5; S II 654 nr.5): fol.153v-154r13. See ms.17, fol.71v-91v.

[1034] 2) al-Baydawi البيضوي , Anwar al-tanzil أنوار التنزيل : 154r13-154v9.

[1035] 3) Tafsir تفسير by Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi أبو الليث السمرقندي (cf. GAL I 196 nr.1; S I 347 nr.1).

[1036] 4) Mukashafat al-qulub مكاشفة القلوب by al-Ghazzali الغزالي (cf. preceding text, glosses).

[1037] 5) Tafsir kabir تفسير كبير , a commentary on Sura 30, 41 (40): fol.155v18-156v, ult.

[1038] 6) Tanbih al-ghafilin تنبيه الغافلين , perhaps by Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi أبو الليث السمرقندي (GAL I 196 nr.4; S I 348 nr.9): fol.157r1.

[1039] 7) A fragment of a commentary on Sura 87, 14: fol.157v19-158v7.

[1040] 8) An anonymous treatise on Fadilat laylat al-qadr فضيلة ليلة القدر : fol.158v7-160r (incomplete at the end).
There are a few glosses in the margin of the excerpts mentioned.

Ms.9.

155 folios; 21×12 cm; 17 lines; nasta'liq. Modern leather binding with the original vignettes and a frame made from golden points. Copied Ramadan 1112/January 1701 in Ayntab by Khidr Ibn al-Hajji Ibn Muhammad al-Antalyawi al-Qardaji (fol.155r).

[1041] fol.1v-13v: al-Baydawi البيضاوي : Lubb al-albab fi ilm al-i'rab لب الألباب في علم الإعراب .
An explanation of grammatical terms which are written in red ink. According to Hajji Khalifa (Kashf al-zunun V nr.306) the text is an extract from Ibn al-Hajib ابن الحاجب , al-Kafiya الكافية (about syntax). This classification is taken over by BROCKELMANN, GAL I 305; however, the text is wrongly classified in GAL I 303 I 3 as a commentary by al-Baydawi and in GAL I 418 IV; S I 742 IV as an independent work by al-Baydawi. A further ms. is Chester Beatty 4315/2 (fol.42-80); cf. also the following commentary by al-Birkawi البركوي which includes the text of al-Baydawi.

[1042] fol.15v-155r: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي (البرگلي) : Imtihan al-adhkiya' امتحان الأذكياء .
A comprehensive commentary by al-Birkawi (died 981/1573) on the preceding text by al-Baydawi البيضاوي (written in red ink). Cf. GAL II 441 nr.17; S II 656 nr.17.
Many glosses are added in the margin: 26r mentions the commentary of Isam al-Din al-Isfara'ini عصام الدين الإصفرائني on the al-Kafiya الكافية of Ibn al-Hajib ابن الحاجب (cf. GAL I 304 nr.14; S I 534 nr.14); 57r mentions the Hashiyat al-Jami حاشية الجامي = perhaps the commentary by Molla Jami ملا جامي on Ibn al-Hajib, al-Kafiya; 98r refers to Nata'ij al-afkar, a commentary by Mustafa Ibn Hamza Ataly مصطفى بن حمزة أطلي on al-Birkawi, Izhar al-asrar إظهار الأسرار : cf. GAL II 441 nr.20b: it is different from the commentary by Mustafa Ibn Hamza Ataly on Imtihan al-adhkiya' (mentioned in GAL S I 742 IV b): cf. Nata'ij al-afkar نتائج الأفكار , ms. Berlin 6784 and Hashiya ala Imtihan al-adhkiya' حاشية على امتحان الأذكياء ms. Princeton (Garrett-collection) 385!
After fol.16v a slip of paper is inserted; it contains excerpts from a commentary on Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة , al-Fiqh al-akbar الفقه الأكبر . Three more slips of paper with notes are added after fol.17v.
Further mss. of al-Birkawi's Imtihan al-adhkiya' (uned.): Bibl. Centr. Univ. Teheran nr.3240; Iraq Museum nr.702 (copied 1046/1636). - As G. Vajda (Journal asiatique 240, 1952, p.5f.) has shown, the text is - contrary to BROCKELMANN (GAL I 418) - different from ms. Paris 4120.

[1047] al-Halabi الحلبي : Multaqa al-abhur ملتقى الأبحر , with commentary (Khalij al-bihar خليج البحار ) by Qassabzade قصاب زاده .
Cf. the description of ms.10. Author and title of the commentary are not mentioned in our ms. According to the colophon the commentary was finished during 1055/1645. Among the 30 commentators of Multaqa al-abhur as mentioned by BURSALI MEHEMMED TAHIR, Osmanli Mü'ellifleri (Istanbul 1334/1915-16, repr. 1971) I 183 the Turkish scholar Qassabzade Muhammad Efendi قصاب زاده محمد أفندي wrote a commentary during the year 1055/1645. According to the ms. preserved in Cairo (Dar al-Kutub al-Misriya, see Fahras I, Cairo 1921, p.419a) it has the title Khalij al-bihar. A further ms. of this still unedited commentary is mentioned in GAL II 432 nr.1a.
The margins of some pages contain a few glosses. An enumeration of the chapters is given on the first three folios.

A commentary on the Kitab al-Maqsud fi al-sarf كتاب المقصود في الصرف (on grammar) which is ascribed to Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة . Our ms. does not mention an author. The ms.

Cf. however BURSALI MEHEMMED TAHIR, Osmanli Mü'ellifleri I (Istanbul 1334/1915-16) p.359 and MEHMET SÜREYYA, Sijill-i 0smani III, Istanbul 1311/1893, p.613, 4ff.; BURSALI confirms in a chronogram (for the year of al-Ayshi's death, namely 1061/1650) the name al-Ayshi instead of Isa. BROCKELMANN (GAL S II 657 nr.25b) has correctly "Muhammad Efendi al-Ayshi محمد أفندي العيشي " as author of Ruh al-shuruh, but mentions elsewhere (S II 658 nr.25f.) the text a second time with "Isa Efendi al-Sirawi" as author, without realizing the identity of both texts.
A few glosses in the margin. The contents of the main text are given on fol.3v-4r.

[1055] fol.15v-48v: al-Halabi, Ibrahim Ibn Muhammad الحلبي، إبراهيم بن محمد : Risalat Ahamm al-umur رسالة أهم الأمور .
The title is mentioned 16r, -7f. and the author can be found in two mss. in Turkey: see the Union Catalogue of Mss. in Turkey IV, Istanbul 1984, p.38 and 130; a third ms. is Iraq Museum nr.1932 (p.103-159). This theological compendium is directed against the determinists: Cf. H. DAIBER, Das theologisch-philosophische System des Mu'ammar Ibn Abbad al-Sulami معمر بن عباد السلمي (gest.830 n.Chr.), Beirut-Wiesbaden 1975, p.377 note 2; p.96 and 192, note 3. - Remarkable is an excerpt from an unknown commentary (sharh شرح ) by Yahya Ibn Abi Bakr al-Hanafi يحيى بن أبي بكر الحنفي (mentioned by F. SEZGIN, Geschichte des arabischen Schrifttums I, Leiden 1967, p.434) on the Creed (al-fiqh al-akbar الفقه الأكبر ) by Abu Hanifa (al-Imam al-a'zam) أبو حنيفة ( الإمام الأعظم ) on fol.16r 2-8. Yahya Ibn Abi Bakr wrote in the 4th/10th century (see DAIBER p.174 n.3).
The author of the Risalat Ahamm al-umur also wrote a summary (ikhtisar اختصار ) for beginners which is preserved in ms. Berlin 1893 (fol.234v-249; copied 1150/1737). Both texts are still unedited and not mentioned in GAL.

[1056] fol.49v-50v: An anonymous poem (incomplete at the end).

[1057] fol.51v-71r: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي (البرگلي) : Inqadh al-halikin إنقاذ الهالكين .
On the author and this text see ms. nr.1, fol.146v-148v. The text is incomplete between fol.62 and 63 (perhaps 1 folio is missing).

[1058] fol.71v-91v: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي (البرگلي) : Jila' al-qulub جلاء القلوب .
As a comparison with ms. Berlin 3049 shows, the text is incomplete and ends in the chapter on the death (ms. Berlin 3049, fol.13v ff.). Further mss. of this still unedited text are mentioned in GAL II 440 nr.5 and S II 654 nr.5. - A fragment is preserved in ms. 8, fol.153v-154r13.
In the margin are added many glosses, often from the Madarik مدارك = perhaps Madarik al-tanzil مدارك التنزيل by Abu al-Barakat al-Nasafi أبو البركات النسفي : see GAL II 196; S II 267.

[1059] fol.92v-94v: al-Turaji (al-Turuji) التورجي (التوروجي) : Sharh al-awamil شرح العوامل .
The author of this commentary on Abd al-Qahir Ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Jurjani's عبد القاهر بن عبد الرحمن الجرجاني (died 471/1078 or later) treatise on particles (al-Awamil al-mi'a العوامل المئة ) cannot be identified. Further mss. are mentioned in GAL I 341 I nr.4 and S I 504 I nr.4; mss. Mingana (Birmingham) 1432 and 1433.

[1060] fol.95r-98v: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي (البرگلي) : Iqaz al-na'imin إيقاظ النائمين .
Cf. the description of ms. nr.1, fol.143r-145r.

[1061] fol.99r-102r: Abu al-Fath al-Muzaffar Ibn Ibrahim Ibn Mansur al-Khatib أبو الفتح المظفر بن إبراهيم بن منصور الخطيب : Alfaz al-kufr ألفاظ الكفر .
The beginning of the text is identical with ms. Berlin 2164 and 2165. The end is different.
The text differs from the Alfaz al-kufr by Muhammad Ibn Isma'il Ibn Mahmud Ibn Muhammad Badr al-Rashid محمد بن إسماعيل بن محمود بن محمد بدر الرشيد (died 768/1366) which is mentioned in GAL II 80 and S II 88. The author of our text (not mentioned by BROCKELMANN in his GAL) cannot be identified. He must have written before the end of the 11th/17th century.

Ms.18.

89 folios; 21×15 cm; 17-19 lines; naskhi; modern half-leather binding. Copied 1130/1717 (34v); 1129/1716 (89r) and Rabi' II 1129/15.3.1717 (59v).

[1062] fol.1v-27v: Abu al-Muntaha Ahmad Ibn Muhammad al-Maghnisawi أبو المنتهى أحمد بن محمد المغنيساوي : Sharh al-fiqh al-akbar شرح الفقه الأكبر .
On this commentary (finished 939/1532) on Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة (died 150/767), al-Fiqh al-akbar (Abu Hanifa's Creed) see F. SEZGIN, GAS I (Leiden 1967) 413.

[1063] fol.29v-34v: Risala fi al-fara'id رسالة في الفرائض .
Fol.29r mentions Kitab al-fara'id كتاب الفرائض as the title of this treatise on the law of succession. According to ms. Berlin 4749 the author is Shihab al-Din Abu Hamid Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Mahmud Ibn Ali Ibn Abi Talib شهاب الدين أبو حامد محمد بن أحمد بن محمود بن علي بن أبي طالب who is mentioned by BROCKELMANN (GAL S II 973 nr.16) as the unidentifiable author of the Fara'id (with 3 mss. to which the Berlin ms. should be added too). The text has been commented by Abd al-Halim al-Muskiri عبد الحليم المسكري who died 900/1494 (s. BROCKELMANN 1.c.). It must therefore have been written before the end of the 9th/15th century.
As a comparison with ms. Berlin 4749 shows, our ms. differs very much : it is shorter at the end and ends with ms. Berlin 4749, fol.89r6 (thus 89r7-90r of the Berlin ms. are missing in our ms.). On the other hand our ms. has additional sections and does not contain the note in the introduction of ms. Berlin 4749 fol.79v6f. according to which it is a "summary" (mukhtasar مختصر ). The Berlin ms. is apparently a shortened redaction which has some additions, namely (besides the introduction fol.79v3ff.) fol.80v4ff.; 81r2ff.; 83r2ff.; 84r2f.; 86r, ult. ss.; 89r7-90r (end). However, the following passages of our ms. are missing in the Berlin ms.: fol.29v5-8; 29v10-30r10; 30v4-9; 30v13-31r2; 31v1-32r3 (shorter and different from Berlin 4749, fol.84r3-85r, ult.); 32r1-32v4; 3410-33v6; 34r4-ult.

[1064] fol.35v-40r: A fragment of a commentary (Sharh شرح ) on a work about the law of succession. According to the colophon the text was "written down" (harrarahu حرره ) by Hajji Sulayman حاجي سليمان (not identifiable). The text must have been completed after Ibn Kamal Pasha ابن كمال باشا (died 940/1533; see GAL II 449; S II 668) who is mentioned on fol.35v8. On the last page two small excerpts and a short anecdote are added.

[1065] fol.41v-89r: al-Husuni الحصوني : Zuhur al-atiya fi sharh al-wasiya ظهور العطية في شرح الوصية .
Our text has neither title nor author. Cf. however ms. nr.19. A comparison of both mss. shows that the end of ms.19 (fol.59v11-61r) is missing in this ms. Instead of information about the date of the commentary (cf. description of ms.19) the copyist has added a colophon mentioning the copying of the text on 1 Rabi' II 1129/15.3.1717.

Ms.19.

A commentary by al-Jurjani (died 816/1413) on the Kitab al-Fara'id al-Sirajiya كتاب الفرائض السراجية about the law of succession. The commented text is written by Siraj al-Din Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Rashid al-Sajawandi سراج الدين محمد بن عبد الرشيد السجاوندي who lived at the end of the 6th/12th century. Our ms. bears the title Kitab al-Sayyid al-Sharif (= al-Jurjani) fi ilm al-fara'id كتاب السيد الشريف (= الجرجاني) في علم الفرائض (1r). BROCKELMANN has mentioned the text with the titles al-Fara'id al-Sharifiya الفرائض الشريفية (GAL I 379 I nr.5; S I 650 I nr.5), al-Sharifiya fi al-fara'id الشريفية في الفرائض (S II 306 nr.37) and Sharh al-Fara'id al-Sirajiya (GAL II 217 nr.21); the index of BROCKELMANN refers to the commented text with the title al-Fara'id al-Sirajiya and to the commented text with the title al-Sharifiya fi al-fara'id.

A commentary on al-Abhari (died 663/1264), Hidayat al-hikma هداية الحكمة , part 2 (fi al-tabi'iyat في الطبيعيات ) and 3 (fi al-ilahiyat في الإلهيات ). Further mss. of this still unedited commentary are mentioned in GAL I 464 I nr.4 and S I 840 I nr.4. The complete name is given by BROCKELMANN as Mawlanazade Ahmad Ibn Mahmud al-Herewi مولانا زاده أحمد بن محمود الهروي and (S I 840) with the additional nisba "al-Kharziyani(?) الخرزياني "; cf. also Hajji Khalifa, Kashf al-zunun VI nr.14347, 3 (with the same incipit of our ms.) and ms. Mingana (Birmingham) 836 (copied 917/1511-12). The ms. India Office Library (London) 494 offers a terminus ante quem for the commentary: it was copied in 810/1407-8. The commentary must therefore have been composed before the beginning of the 9th/15th century.
Commentary and commented text are separated from each other by the words aqulu أقول and qala قال in green ink.

Ms.24.

226 folios; 18,5×13 cm; 17-23 lines; naskhi. The text is sometimes difficult to read because of water stains. Modern half-leather binding. Copied 882/1477-8 (214v) by Da'ud Ibn Sayyid Ibn Umara'.

Fol.1-3v seem to have been added later. Commentary and commented text are separated from each other by aqulu أقول and qala قال in red ink. Some glosses are added in the margin. Our ms. contains book I (fi al-mumkinat في الممكنات ; ends fol.126v) and II (fi al-ilahiyat في الإلهيات ; ends fol.214v). Book III (fi al-nubuwat في النبوات ) is missing. Between book I and II a fragment of a poem is inserted (126v-127r).
Between 9v and 10r is a lacuna: 9v ends in fasl فصل 2 of the preface and 10v starts in fasl 1 of book I ch.1. This lacuna can be filled (except a part of fasl 2 of the preface and fasl 3) by fol.217r-225r (a late addition at the end of our ms.); these folios also contain the preface, fasl 4 (fi ahkam al-nazar في أحكام النظر ) and (on 224r1ff.) the beginning of book I. This beginning overlaps with the passus starting fol.10r1: 10r1-10v10 is this 224v3-225v, ult. - An overlapping has also happened on 3r15-3v, ult.: this piece is also on 4r1-18: this overlapping happened because fol.1-3 have been added later; the handwriting is different from the one on fol.217-225.

[1098] fol.25r-52r: A fragment of an anonymous devotional work called Salah al-arwah wa-tariq ila dar al-falah صلاح الأرواح وطريق إلى دار الفلاح .
This title is not mentioned by BROCKELMANN (GAL); further mss. are Berlin 8863 and 8864. It conforms to ms. Berlin 8863, fol.71v-106r, with slight divergences at the end and without the chapters of Berlin 8863, fol.78r-85r. This means that in our ms. approximately the first half is missing.
In the Berlin mss. the text is ascribed to Ibn al-Jawzi ابن الجوزي . This cannot be correct as AHLWARDT shows in his description of ms. Berlin 8864. The unknown author wrote after 671/1272, the year of Abu Abd Allah Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Abi Bakr al-Qurtubi's أبو عبد الله محمد بن أحمد بن أبي بكر القرطبي death whose commentary on the Koran is mentioned in ms. Berlin 8864 on fol.68v.

[1099] fol.52r-57v: A fragment of an anonymous eschatological work called Kitab al-tadhkira كتاب التذكرة .
The text is different from al-Qurtubi's القرطبي Kitab al-tadhkira bi-ahwal al-mawta wa-ahwal al-akhira كتاب التذكرة بأحوال الموتى وأحوال الآخرة (GAL I 415 nr.2; S I 737 nr.2); cf. the ms. Heidelberg Or. 267, spec. vol.II, fol.36v ff. - The text contains the following chapters:

fol.53r: Bab fi dhikr al-hur al-in باب في ذكر الحور العين .
fol.55v: Bab fi dhikr ma'idat al-khuld باب في ذكر مائدة الخلد .

fol.56v: Bab fi ma'rifat ayyam al-dunya fi al-janna باب في معرفة أيام الدنيا في الجنة .

[1100] fol.58r-77v: A fragment of Salah al-arwah fi tariq al-arwah صلاح الأرواح في طريق الأرواح .
On the text cf. above fol.25r-52r. This copy contains the chapters Bab ma yanji min ahwal yawm al-qiyama باب ما ينجي من أحوال يوم القيامة (fol.58r = ms. Berlin 8863, fol.11v); Bab fadl al-hajj باب فضل الحج (fol.58v = ms. Berlin 8863, fol.6v); then (fol.58v ff.) all the chapters of ms. Berlin 8863, fol.17v-39r, with one exception: our ms. has on fol.66r: Bab fi fadl bi-ismi Allah باب في فضل بسم الله , whilst the Berlin ms.8863 has on fol.27v: Bab fi fadl al-karam باب في فضل الكرم .
It is possible that also the folios 103v-104r (Bab fadl al-zakat باب فضل الزكاة ) of our ms. belong to this text: this anonymous passage can be found between two excerpts from Rawnaq al-tafasir رونق التفاسير (see the following text) and is also in ms. Berlin 8863, fol.5r!

[1101] fol.78r-131r: A fragment of Rawnaq al-tafasir رونق التفاسير .
This devotional work has the complete title Rawnaq al-tafasir fi haqq al-anbiya' رونق التفاسير في حق الأنبياء and is ascribed in other mss. to Muhammad Ibn Najib al-Qarahisari محمد بن نجيب القرحصاري (9th/15th century): see GAL II 229; S II 320. Our ms. contains the stories about Isma'il إسماعيل (78r); Abraham (79v); Nebucadnezar (86v, 90v); the birth of Mary (92r); Adam (96r); the birth of Yahya Ibn Zakariya' يحيى بن زكرياء (104r); wonders of Jesus (106r); Uhud أحد (116v); the fall of Satan (120v); Cain and Abel (122v); the death of Adam (125v) and the gold calf (127v).

Neither title is mentioned by BROCKELMANN (GAL). Possibly the text ascribed to al-Nabulusi is based on two different texts, namely the Kitab idah al-maqsud man ma'na wahdat al-wujud كتاب إيضاح المقصود من معنى وحدة الوجود (cf. on this text ms.323, fol.86-93v) and the Sharh mir'at al-wujud شرح مرآة الوجود (mentioned in the list published by G.

[1209] fol.1r7-1v: Four fragments from a work about alchemy.
At the end of the first section (1r below) Abd al-Jabbar al-Hamadani عبد الجبار الهمداني is mentioned as author. On his treatise about alchemy (Risala/Tadhkira fi al-kimiya' رسالة / تذكرة في الكيمياء ) cf. F. SEZGIN, GAS I 625 nr.5. The authenticity is doubtful: cf. M. ULLMANN, Die Natur- und Geheimwissenschaften im Islam, Leiden 1972, p.222. - For a complete ms. in Los Angeles see A. Z. ISKANDAR, A Descriptive List of Arabic Mss., Leiden 1984, p.48: al-Nasir al-Hakim Abd al-Jabbar al-Hamadani الناصر الحكيم عبد الجبار الهمداني , al-Hikma al-ilahiya الحكمة الإلهية .

[1210] fol.3r-10v: al-Risala al-badriya fi al-sunna al-fajriya الرسالة البدرية في السنة الفجرية .
The unknown author refers in this treatise and in the following texts mainly to Hanafite books about fiqh. The text on fol.98r-101v reports a question about the correct pronunciation of the word Amin أمين directed to the author in the Sulayman Pasha mosque (built in 1528) on the citadel of Cairo. Cp. also fol.121v4f. - On fol.41r3 the author cites the Hanafite jurist Nuh Ibn Mustafa نوح بن مصطفى (died 1070/1659 in Cairo; cf. GAL II 314; S II 432). This citation and the note on fol.16v, according to which the text fol.11r-16v is composed by our author in 1057/1647 prove that he was a contemporary of Nuh Ibn Mustafa. He must have been a Hanafite jurist who knew Turkish (see fol.102r-105v) and who stayed in Cairo at times. The date given on fol.16v conforms to the date of the compilation, of the Surrat al-fatawi صرة الفتاوي by Sadiq Muhammad Ibn Ali al-Saqizi صادق محمد بن علي الساقزي (died 1099/1688); therefore we may conclude that our author is al-Saqizi and that our texts are parts of al-Saqizi's Surrat al-fatawi (mss.: s. GAL II 436 and S II 648; Mingana 331(1200) and Princeton, Garrett collection nr.1247).

About the invocation of God (dhikr) and the prayer (du'a' دعاء ). al- Imam al-Nasihi and his Kitab al-Lama'an cannot be identified. The Kitab al-Da'awat ascribed to al-Ghazzali is preserved in ms. Berlin 3515, fol.59v-62v: it follows al-Ghazzali's Kitab al-Tasawwuf fi al-ibadat كتاب التصوف في العبادات . MAURICE BOUYGES, Essai de chronologie des oeuvres de al-Ghazali (Algazel), Beyrouth 1959, p.101, nr.114 supposes an identity of the Kitab al-Da'awat with the Risala fi al-ibadat رسالة في العبادات . However the above-mentioned ms. Berlin 3515 proves that both texts are different - unless the Kitab al-Da'awat is part of the Risala fi al-ibadat = Kitab al-Tasawwuf fi al-ibadat.

Abu al-Su'ud is also known as an author of fatwas: see P. HORSTER, Zur Anwendung des islamischen Rechts im 16. Jahrhundert, Bonn 1935 (= Bonner orientalistische Studien 10), p.1ff. and ELKE EBERHARD, Osmanische Polemik gegen die Safawiden im 16, Jahrhundert nach arabischen Handschriften, Freiburg 1970 (= Islamkundliche Untersuchungen 3), Index; MEHMET ERTUGRUL DÜZDAG: Şeyhülislâm Ebussuud Efendi Fetvaları ışıgında 16. asır türk hayatı.

Our compendium is more extensive than the anonymous compendium in ms. Berlin 3090/1 (not mentioned in GAL). As a comparison with the Cairo edition of 1973 (by MUSA MUHAMMAD ALI موسى محمد علي and ABBAD AL-AL AHMAD AL-IRABI عباد العال أحمد العرابي ) shows, the compendium in our ms. (copied 984/1577) has many variants which sometimes offer better readings.
The chapter-headings are written in red ink.

[1239] fol.184v-185r: A fragment of a mystical work.

As a comparison with ms. Berlin 5258 shows, the text of al-Tahtani (died 766/1364) which is commented by an anonymous author, is a commentary on Najm al-Din al-Katibi نجم الدين الكاتبي (died 675/1276 or 693/1294), al-Risala al-Shamsiya fi al-qawa'id al-mantiqiya الرسالة الشمسية في القواعد المنطقية , part I (al-tasawwurat التصورات ). On the numerous glosses on al-Qutbi see GAL I 466 and S I 845.
The commented text of al-Tahtani is overlined in red or introduced by qawluhu قوله in red ink. The commentary is different from the explanation on fol.192v-193v.

Author and title are mentioned fol.2r. The author may be identical with Muhammad Ibn Ya'qub al-Firuzabadi محمد بن يعقوب الفيروزابادي who died 817/1415 (GAL II 181; S II 234). However the title is not mentioned anywhere. The text is a semantic treatise on the use of the terms risala رسالة , muqaddama مقدمة (sic) and mawdu' موضوع .

[1242] fol.192v-193v: Muhammad Ibn Qutb al-Din Muhammad al-Razi al-Tahtani محمد بن قطب الدين محمد الرازي التحتاني : Tahrir al-qawa'id al-mantiqiya (= al-Qutbi) تحرير القواعد المنطقية (القطبي) . Preface with anonymous commentary which is different from the text on fol.186v-190v.

The commented text of Shah Husayn Efendi al-Antaki (died 1130/1718) is overlined in black. Our ms. has neither author nor title; cf. however ms. Berlin 5335. Two more mss. of this text on the art of dispute (adab al-bahth آداب البحث ) of which an extract has been printed in Istanbul (1276/1859) are mentioned GAL S II 482 (cf. GAL II 356 nr.4).

[1249] fol.252v-272v: Qul Ahmad (Ibn Muhammad Ibn Khidr) قول أحمد (بن محمد بن خضر) : Hashiya ala al-fawa'id al-Fanariya حاشية على الفوائد الفنارية .
On the text see GAL I 465 nr. I 2a; S I 842 nr. I 2a. The commented text, the Fawa'id فوائد of al-Fanari الفناري (died 834/1431; cf. GAL II 233; S II 328) is introduced by qawluhu قوله in red ink; it is a commentary to the Kitab al-Isaghuji كتاب الإيساغوجي by al-Abhari الأبهري (died 663/1264). BROCKELMANN follows the ms. Berlin 5240 and dates the Hashiya "about 950/1543"; our text is written some years later, in 965/558 (fol.272v).

[1250] fol.273r-v: A short enumeration and description of the five "outward" (al-zahira الظاهرة ) and "inward" (al-batina الباطنة ) senses.

[1251] fol.3r: A prayer.
The margin and part of fol.2v contain an enumeration of magical letters and numbers in Persian.

[1252] fol.3v-5r: Ibn Sina ابن سينا : al-Risala al-muntakhaba fi ma'alim haqiqat al-nafs wa-ma yattasilu bi-dhalika الرسالة المنتخبة في معالم حقيقة النفس وما يتصل بذلك .
This philosophical treatise of Ibn Sina (died 428/1037) on the soul is incomplete at the end. The text ends in the edition of A. NADER (al-Nafs al-bashariya inda Ibn Sina النفس البشرية عند ابن سينا , Beirut 1968, p.29-38) on p.34, ult. In this edition it has the title Risala fi ma'rifat al-nafs al-natiqa wa-ahwaliha رسالة في معرفة النفس الناطقة وأحوالها (also in the edition of AHMAD FU'AD AL-AHWANI أحمد فؤاد الأهواني ; Ahwal al-nafs أحوال النفس , Cairo 1371/1952, p.181-192). - The text is also preserved in the ms. Maktabat al-Awqaf (Baghdad) 13837/25 (without author and title); it is different from the works with the following titles:
1) Risala fi al-nafs رسالة في النفس which is mentioned GAL I 455 nr.29 and S I 818 nr.29; a further ms. is Wien 2301 (Mixt.866, 6), fol.66v-71r.
2) Risala fi quwa al-nafs = Mabhath an al-quwa al-nafsaniya رسالة في قوى النفس = مبحث عن القوى النفسانية (Hadiya lil-amir Nuh Ibn Mansur al-Samani هدية للأمير نوح بن منصور الساماني which is mentioned with mss. and editions in GAL I 455 nr.30 and S I 818 nr.30; the ms. Berlin 5341 (no title; called in AHLWARDT Risala fi quwa al-nafs = GAL I 455 nr.30) is different. Further editions: see LANDAUER in Zeitschrift der deutschen morgenländischen Gesellschaft 29, 1876, p.339-372 and A.F. AL-AHWANI, Ahwal al-nafs, Cairo 1371/1952, p.143-178.

The text of our ms. is, as a comparison with the catalogues can prove, identical with the Risala fi ilm al-nafs رسالة في علم النفس which is mentioned in GAL I 455 nr.36 (BROCKELMANN has wrongly mentioned S. LANDAUER as editor of the text).
For further information about Ibn-Sina-mss. dealing with the soul and sometimes wrongly classified by BROCKELMANN (GAL) cf. G.C. ANAWATI, Essai de bibliographie Avicennienne, Le Caire 1950, Index p.368 s.v. "al-nafs".

The author seems to be an Iranian; he mentions the judge (al-qadi القاضي , once also written al-qadi! القادي ) of Tabaristan, Muhammad Bek محمد بك (125r) and a man called Muhammad Zaki al-Derbendi محمد زكي الدربندي (125r).

This medical compendium about diseases and remedies has neither author nor title and is incomplete at the end. The chapter-headings are written in red ink.

On the author (died 1029/1620) and this dogmatic treatise see GAL II 405 nr.6 and S II 406 nr.6. Our ms. is incomplete at the beginning; in the edition of A. NADER (Beirut 1980) our text starts with p.112, 14.
The text has also the title al-Asas al-mutakaffil bi-kashf al-iltibas الأساس المتكفل بكشف الالتباس (see ms. Berlin 5145 and GAL S II 551 nr.1). Our ms. bears the title Iddat al-akyas fi ilm al-asas عدة الأكياس في علم الأساس (fol.1r). Apparently this is the third title of our text; contrary to the note in ms. Berlin 10307, fol.15, 16 (taken over by DAIBER, Mu'ammar - as above ms.48 - p.511 n.2) our title does not contain a commentary on al-Asas al-mutakaffil.

According to these mss. the predictions end with the year 1246/1830; therefore the end of our ms. is apparently missing.

In place of mughallatin the ms. has in the text mughallazin مغلظ which seems to be an inferior variant. The text is an interesting treatise on juridical responsibility of those who have deformities. Neither title nor author are mentioned in bio-bibliographical sources. The colophon states that the text was compiled in 1061/1650 and annotated in 1080/1669. The author mentions several times as his teacher (ustadh أستاذ , shaykh شيخ ) Shihab (al-Din) al-Qalyubi شهاب (الدين) القليوبي (died 1069/1658: see GAL II 364) and al-Shabramallisi الشبراملسي (wrote around 1021/1612: see GAL II 365); both are authors of books on medicine and occult sciences.

[1302] fol.5v-6v: Fragment of a work on legal questions and answers by the famous jurist al-Shafi'i الشافعي (died 204/820).
The text is perhaps identical with Masa'il fi al-fiqh sa'alaha Abu Yusuf wa-Muhammad (Ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani) al-Shafi'i wa-ajwibatuha مسائل في الفقه سألها أبو يوسف ومحمد (بن الحسن الشيباني) الشافعي وأجوبتها (mss. see F. SEZGIN, GAS I 490 VIII).

Ms.74.

8 folios; 18×25 cm; 27 lines; naskhi. Paper and text slightly damaged. Hand of the 9th/15th century.

[1303] Fragment of a work on Hadith, mainly about etiquette.
The unknown author mentions as his sources the canonical Hadith-collections (al-Tirmidhi الترمذي , al-Bukhari البخاري , Muslim مسلم , al-Nasa'i النسائي ) , but also (1r11) al-Hakim Abu Abd Allah الحاكم أبو عبد الله and his al-Mustadrak المستدرك . This is al-Mustadrak ala al-sahihayn المستدرك على الصحيحين by Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah Ibn Muhammad al-Hakim al-Nisaburi محمد بن عبد الله بن محمد الحاكم النيسابوري (died 405/1014; see GAL I 166). This enables us to determine the date of this work; it must be composed after the 4th/10th century.

Ms.75.

5 folios; 14×19 cm; 13 lines; naskhi; single words in red ink. Copied by Abd al-Latif al-Azhari. Hand of the 10th/16th century.

This exhortation to piety is identical with the qasida قصيدة in ms. Berlin 7896 (nr.3; mentioned in GAL II 191 nr.5). Added to the verses is a takhmis تخميس which is also in ms. Berlin 7896, nr.3 (collection Sprenger 540, fol.474v-476r) and ascribed there to Ibn al-Khayyat al-Yamani ابن الخياط اليمني .

The text is different from the mss. Berlin 4263ff.

Ms.77.

28 folios; 14,5×21 cm; 15 lines; naskhi. Beginning missing. Copied by Muhammad Ibn Mahmud al-Hariri al-Ahmadi al-Shafi'i in 977/1569.

[1306] fol.1-26v: An instruction book on prayers, their performance and times.
The author is not mentioned. Fol.3r2-4 refers to Siraj al-Din al-Bulqini سراج الدين البلقيني (died 805/1403; cf. GAL II 93; S II 114), called Shaykh al-Islam شيخ الإسلام and to his son qadi al-qudat Alam al-Din قاضي القضاة علم الدين , called shaykhuna شيخنا . This means that the author was a contemporary of Alam al-Din (died 868/1463: see GAL II 96 nr.32) and must have lived in the 9th/15th century.

[1307] fol.26v-28r: Arba'un hadithan min al-sihah wa-al-hisan أربعون حديثا من الصحاح والحسان .
No author is mentioned. On fol.28v a different hand has added: qad farragha min tastir hadha al-kitab ahwaj khalq Allah al-malik al-wahhab ila rahmat al-aziz al-hakim al-tawwab al-Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Muhammad al-shahir bi-Ibn al-Bayluni al-Shafi'i al-madhhab al-ahmadi al-mashrab قد فرغ من تسطير هذا الكتاب أحوج خلق الله الملك الوهاب إلى رحمتي العزيز الحكيم التواب الشيخ محمد بن محمد الشهير بابن البيلوني الشافعي المذهب الأحمد المشرب . The author mentioned here, Ibn al-Bayluni, cannot be identical with Muhammad Fath Allah Ibn Mahmud Ibn Muhammad al-Halabi al-Bayluni محمد فتح الله بن محمود بن محمد الحلبي البيلوني (977-1042/1570-1632: GAL II 274; S II 385), because the ms. was written in 977/1569 (see above). Furthermore, the bio-bibliographical sources on al-Halabi al-Bayluni (see also KAHHALE VIII 53; XI 117; XIII 410) do not refer to any work on Arba'un hadithan.

Ms.78.

17 folios; 10,5×15,5 cm; 16 lines; vocalized clear naskhi. Chapter-headings in red ink. Paper partially damaged. Copied 1125/1713.

[1308] fol.1v-13r: Ibrahim al-Laqani إبراهيم اللاقاني : Jawharat al-tawhid جوهرة التوحيد .
This creed is written in Rajaz-verses. Cf. on it and on the author (died 1041/1631) GAL II 316; S II 436 (nr.5).

[1309] fol.13v-17v: Student's notes. Fol.14r contains Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulusi عبد الغني النابلسي , Nazm asma' Allah al-husna نظم أسماء الله الحسنى .

Ms.79.

25 folios; 13×17,5 cm; 12 lines; vocalized naskhi. Copied by Ahmad Agha Ibn Arab in 1283/1866.

[1310] Mawlid al-nabi مولد النبي .
It is not clear whether the copyist (katib كاتب ) is also the author.

Ms.80.

4 folios; 11,5×16,5 cm; 18 lines; naskhi; hand of the 12th/18th century.

[1311] Two treatises (Risalatani رسالتان ) by Shaykh Yunus al-Kurdi شيخ يونس الكردي , on mystical questions.
The author is perhaps identical with Yusuf Ibn Husayn al-Kurdi al-Shafi'i يوسف بن حسين الكردي الشافعي who died 804/1402 and is said to have joined the mystical congregation of the Salihiya صالحية (KAHHALE XIII 294). The author refers 2v, -3 to al-shaykh Taha الشيخ طه and to the Fusus فصوص by Ibn al-Arabi ابن العربي .

Ms.81.

60 folios; 10×14 cm; 17 lines; naskhi. The paper shows some traces of damp which do not, however, impair the text. Turkish hand of the 12th/18th century. The first folio (beginning of the text) and the end are missing.

[1312] Ya'qub Ibn Idris al-Qaramani Qara Ya'qub يعقوب بن إدريس القرماني قرة يعقوب : Ishraq al-tawarikh إشراق التواريخ .
The title can be found on fol.1v3. The text is identical with ms. Berlin 9589 from which the author (died 833/1429: cf. GAL II 223; S II 313) can be identified. Further mss. of this still unedited text on history from Adam to Muhammad, his relatives and companions, including a chapter on huffaz حفاظand theological schools are mentioned in GAL. Contrary to BROCKELMANN (GAL) the text of the Berlin ms. and Ishraq al-tawarikh are identical; as our ms. shows, the Berlin ms. is not an excerpt from Ishraq al-tawarikh. A comparison with the Berlin ms. shows that in our ms. the last chapter about theological schools and Hadith-scholars, about a'immat al-madhahib أئمة المذاهب and a'immat al-hadith أئمة الحديث is missing. One of the sources on early Islamic history is (according to fol.8r4f.) Abu Mansur al-Ghawass أبو منصور الغواص , Uyun al-tafasir عيون التفاسير . This book is mentioned by BROCKELMANN (GAL S II 986 nr.32) as an unidentifiable book (wrongly in the chapter on exegesis of the Koran and referring to one ms., Berlin Oct.1467). As our ms. shows, this must have been written before the 8th/14th century.

Ms.82.

20 folios; 16×21,5 cm; 20 lines; naskhi. The text is on the margin in a few cases slightly damaged (loss of some letters). Hand of the 12-13th/18-19th century.

[1313] A treatise on Muhammad's midnight journey to the seven heavens (al-isra' الإسراء ), with commentary.
The commented text (introduced by qawluhu قوله in red ink) mentions fol.4v11 al-Hafiz Abu al-Qasim Sulayman Ibn Ahmad al-Tabarani الحافظ أبو القاسم سليمان بن أحمد الطبراني (died 360/971; cf. GAL S I 279) and the commentary mentions among later authors on fol.7r, -8 al-Suyuti السيوطي (died 911/1505). This may be interpreted as the terminus post quem of the commented text (after the 4th/10th century) and commentary (after the 10th/16th century).

Ms.83.

6 folios; 16×22,5 cm; 20 lines; naskhi. Paper sometimes damaged. With a small astronomical map on the last folio. Hand of the 12th/18th century.

[1314] An anonymous astronomical poem in Rajaz-metres.

Ms.86.

28 folios; 15×20,5 cm; 18 lines; naskhi. Single words in red ink. Hand of the 12th/18th century. The beginning is missing.

[1317] Commentary on a work about grammar.
The commented text is perhaps Sharaf al-Din Abu Abd Allah Muhammad Ibn Abd Allah al-Mursi al-Sulami شرف الدين أبو عبد الله محمد بن عبد الله المرسي السلمي (died 655/1257), al-Dawabit al-kulliya fima tamassu al-haja ilay-hi min al-Arabiya الضوابط الكلية فيما تمس الحاجة إليه من العربية . The text of al-Mursi (cf. on him GAL I 312; S I 546; KAHHALE X 244f.) is only preserved in ms. Berlin 6614; of this ms. the chapters on fol.16r ff. correspond to the chapters in our ms. (beginning in the chapter on al-jam' الجمع ). The bio-bibliographical sources do not mention any commentary on al-Mursi's treatise. Our ms. is said to have been written (tamma al-kitab ala yad katibihi... تم الكتاب على يد كاتبه ) by Ibrahim Ibn Shaykh Ahmad al-Biqa'i إبراهيم بن شيخ أحمد البقاعي , perhaps also the author of our commentary.

[1826] A part of an extensive commentary on the Koran (section of Sura 2, then Suras 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).
This important text can be identified as Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi أبو الليث السمرقندي (died 373/983 or later), Tafsir al-qur'an تفسير القرآن (mentioned in GAS I 445f.). So far three volumes (contain the commentary on Sura 1-6) are edited by ABD AL-RAHIM AHMAD AL-ZAQQA عبد الرحيم أحمد الزقة (Baghdad 1985-1986).

Ms.357.

463 loose folios; 16×22 cm; 23 lines; maghribi. Single words sometimes in red, yellow or blue ink. Lacunas in the text and some folios may be disordered. Different kinds of paper. Binding damaged; red leather cover with vignettes. Hand of the end 13th/19th century.

Incomplete at the end.

[1828] fol.2r-225v: A long fragment of a work about religious duties and Islamic belief (part I).
The text contains many chapters (bab باب ) and subsections (fasl فصل ); we mention here:
fol.10: fasl fi bayan al-iman wa-al-islam wa-al-ihsan فصل في بيان الإيمان والإسلام والإحسان .
fol.13r: Bab fi ta'rif al-ridda wa-ahkamiha باب في تعريف الردة وأحكامها .
fol.20: Bab fi al-tahara wa-aqsamiha wa-ahkamiha باب في الطهارة وأقسامها وأحكامها .
fol.36v: Bab fi al-kalam ala al-salat wa-ma yata'allaqu biha min al-ahkam باب في الكلام على الصلاة وما يتعلق بها من الأحكام .
fol.172v: Bab fi fadl al-haqq wa-ma yata'allaqu biha min al-ahkam باب في فضل الحق وما يتعلق بها من الأحكام .
etc.
On fol.155v the text cites al-Kharashi الخرشي (died 1101/1689; see GAL II 84, 1n); therefore it must have been written later.

[1829] fol.227v-361v: A fragment of introductory work about principles of mysticism.
Fol.354-361 are misplaced and belong perhaps to another work. - Fol.274r cites the Tuhfat al-salikin تحفة السالكين = Tuhfat al-salikin wa-dalalat al-sa'irin li-nahj al-muqarrabin تحفة السالكين ودلالة السائرين لنهج المقربين by Muhammad Ibn Hasan Ibn Muhammad al-Samannudi al-Azhari محمد بن حسن بن محمد السمنودي الأزهري (died 1199/1785; GAL II 353; S II 479). Therefore our text must be composed in the 12-13th/18-19th century.

[1830] fol.362r-446r: A work about religious traditions and duties; titleless.
Fol.422v mentions Sulayman Ibn Abd al-Wahhab سليمان بن عبد الوهاب , a grandson of al-Imam Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab الإمام محمد بن عبد الوهاب who died 1206/1791 (GAL S II 530-2).

[1831] fol.448v-463r: A devotional book, without author and title.
