The authorship of the commented religious poem is doubtful ( → also Ms. 104, fol. 45r, 1-19 ) . It starts ( as Ms. Berlin 7637, no. 4 ) : الشدّة أودت بالمهج يا ربّ فعجل بالفرج

Brockelmann GAL S I 756 no. 70 mentions some mss. but no commentary.

End:
‏ ... الذين أنعمت عليهم غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين آمين ، يا آله العالمين ويا خير الناصرين برحمتك يا أرحم الراحمين ، تمّ ،

The text often refers to traditions about the Prophet and his ashab أصحاب and tabi'un تابعون , but does not quote any sources which could offer a terminus post quem. The text seems to be collated ( one correcting addition of a homoioteleuton is in the margin of fol. 4v ) . Our Ms. is one of the few texts on fada'il al-quds, on the excellences of Jerusalem. Other examples are Abu Bakr al-Wasiti أبو بكر الواسطي ( 5th/11th century ) , Fada'il al-bayt al-Maqdis فضائل البيت المقدس ( ed. Ishaq Hasun إسحق حسون , Jerusalem 1979 ) and Ibn al-Jawzi ابن الجوزي ( died 597/1201 ) , Fada'il al-quds فضائل القدس ( ed. Jibra'il Sulayman Jubur جبرائيل سليمان جبور , Beirut 1979 ) .

As the qasida is written in praise of Özdemir Uthman Pasha أزدمر عثمان باشا , who died as Grand Vizier on 29 October 1585 ( 5 Dhu al-Qa'da 993 ) , and as the Ottoman historian Mehmed Pasha محمد باشا ( called Asafi آصفي ) finished in 994 or 995 his history of Özdemir's adventurous career in rhymed prose ( → Franz Babinger, Die Geschichtsschreiber der Osmanen und ihre Werke, Leipzig 1927, p. 117 ) , our text may be a fragment of this work; Babinger ( p.117 note 2 ) mentions some more, anonymous works, which may contain our text; of them, the Shifa' al-qulub wa-liqa' al-mahbub شفاء القلوب ولقاء المحبوب does not contain our qasida; → Ms. Leiden Or. 801 Warn. described by M.J. de Goeje, Catalogus codicum orientalium Bibliothecae Academiae Lugduno-Bataviae V, Lugduni Batavorum 1874, p. 233.

A titleless medical compendium on diseases and their remedy by eating special food and by drinking special beverages.
The title can be found on fol. 1v. The text appears to be an Arabic adaption of different Hippocratic texts, among them Hippocrates' Regimen in Acute Diseases ( al-Amrad al-hadda الأمراض الحادة , on which → GAS III 33 ) . As in the text on fols. 108v-113v we should not expect to detect a new Hippocratic text.

A collection of practical medical advices addressed to the reader in the 2nd person plural. The text apparently belongs to those late texts which were written by an Arabic compilator on the basis of some knowledge of Hippocratic-Galenic medicine ( compare also above fols. 4v-53v ) ; it is different from the Arabic ps.-Hippocratic wasiya-literature ( on which → below fols. 152v-154v ) . The title cannot be found in any list of Hippocratic writings: → Gerhard Fichtner, Corpus Hippocraticum. Verzeichnis der hippokratischen und pseudohippokratischen Schriften ( Tübingen 1985 ) , pp. 114f. ( index of Arabic Hippocratic texts ) ; in addition, compare the list of Hippocratic writings ( based on a lost Greek text ) in Ali Ibn Ridwan علي بن رضوان (5th/11th century) , Kitab al-Tatarruq bi-al-tibb ila al-sa'ada كتاب التطرق بالطب إلى السعادة ed. and transl. by A.

On the author ( died 420/1019 ) and his work on the theoretical foundations of medicine → GAS III 334; Ullmann, Medizin, 152. Our text is taken from the 10th and last chapter and can be found ( with divergences ) in the edition by Mahdi Mohaghegh and M.T. Daneshpajuh ( Teheran 1989 ) , pp. 108, 18-154, 12.

[2219] fols. 143v-146r: al-Harith Ibn Kalada al-Thaqafi الحارث بن كلدة الثقفي : al-Risala fi al-as'ila al-tabi'iya al-Harithiya = al-Muhawarat fi al-tibb baynahu wa-bayna Nushirawan الرسالة في الأسئلة الطبيعية الحارثية = المحاورات في الطب بينه وبين نوشروان . The authenticity of this discussion on medical questions between al-Harith ( born in Ta'if before Islam ) and Khusraw Anushirwan خسرو أنوشروانis doubtful; cf. now G. R. Hawting, The Development of the Biography of al-Harith Ibn Kalada and the Relationship Between Medicine and Islam, in: The Islamic World from Classical to Modern Times. Essays in honor of Bernard Lewis. Ed. C. E. Bosworth, Ch. Issawi ( a.o. ) , Princeton, N.J. 1989, pp. 127-140.
According to GAS III 203f., the text is reproduced by Ibn Abi Usaybi'a ابن أبي أصيبعة ( Uyun al-anba' fi tabaqat al-atibba' عيون الأنباء في طبقات الأطباء ed. A. Müller, Königsberg i.Pr. 1884; reprint 1972 ) pp. 110-112 and fragmentarily transmitted in Ms. Berlin 6246. An additional fragmentary Ms. is in Washington, Army Medical Library or. Sommer 82 ( fols. 201v-202r ) , as our Ms. with the title Risala fi al-as'ila al-tabi'iya al-Harithiya.
In the margin are some notes by a later hand.

[2220] fols. 146v-151r: Extracts and notes on medical themes, in part in Persian and ( fols. 147v-151r ) by a later hand.

[2221] fols. 152v-154v: Wasaya وصايا , ascribed to Hippocrates.
Similar to the text on fols. 108v-113v, these admonitions are not based on a translation of a Greek text written by Hippocrates; they show typical Islamic features ( → the beginning below ) . The Arabic compilator may have been inspired by the Old Islamic wasaya-literature on which → Albert Dietrich, Das politische Testament des zweiten ‘Abbasidenkalifen al-Mansur, in: Der Islam 30, Berlin 1952, pp. 133-165; at the same time he may have used some Hippocratic texts like the Hippocratic Oath ( Horkos; →　on its Arabic translation GAS III 28 I ) , the Nomos ( namus ناموس ; → GAS III 38f. no. 11 ) or the Diatheke ( = Wasiya وصية ) by Hippocrates ( → GAS III 39 no. 12a ) ; the Diatheke is preserved in two different Greek versions, → Karl Deichgräber, Medicus Gratiosus. Untersuchungen zu einem griechischen Arztbild. Mit einem Anhang: Testamentum Hippocratis und Rhazes' De indulgentia medici. Mainz 1970 ( = Abhandlungen der Akademie der Wissenschaften. Literatur-, geistes- und sozialwissenschaftliche Kl. Jg. 1970, no. 3 ) , p. 91 ( 281 ) ff.
Our text is not a translation from Greek, just as little as mss. bearing the title Wasaya fi al-tibb وصايا في الطب and mentioned in GAS III 39 no. 12d as a Hippocratic text. Our text is different from those wasaya mentioned in GAS III 39 no. 12.
It may be interesting to note that the ps.-Hippocratic wasaya-literature at least in part was already available in the 4th/10th century: the wasaya-text mentioned GAS III 39 no. 12d is already reproduced ( with some divergences ) in Ali Ibn al-Abbas al-Majusi علي بن العباس المجوسي , Kamil al-sina'a al-tibbiya = al-Kitab al-Malaki كامل الصناعة الطبية = الكتاب الملكي ( on this work → GAS III 320-2; Ullmann, Medizin 140ff. ) ; compare the edition Bulaq 1294/1877 I 8,7ff. with the Wasaya ascribed to Hippocrates in Ms. Irak Museum 1370, p. 1, 2ff. and Ms. Mosul, al-Madrasa al-Ahmadiya المدرسة الأحمدية no. 152, fol. 88v36ff.

[2222] fols. 154v-167r: Jumal wa-jawami' al-Iskandar fi ta'arruf al-mizaj جمل وجوامع الإسكندر في تعرف المزاج .

According to the list of titles on fols. 1v, the text is taken from Hippocrates ( min kalam Abuqrat من كلام أبقراط ). In the text itself ( fol. 154v2 ) , in an addition above the line the copyist has attributed the work to "al-Iskandar الإسكندر ".
This may be interpreted as an indication that the text is a summary made by the Alexandrians. GAS III 140ff. mentions the Summaria Alexandrinorum of Galen ( a summary of 16 Galenic works made in the 6th century ) ; but the Summaria of Galen's De temperamentis ( Peri kraseōs = ed. Kühn I, Leipzig 1821 [repr. Hildesheim 1964], pp. 509-694 ) , the Jawami' al-mizaj جوامع المزاج of which several manuscripts are preserved ( → GAS III 147f. ) are different from our text: → Dietrich, Medicinalia 36 ( description of Ms. Manisa, Kitapsaray 1759, fols. 166r-192v ) . Our text may be an independent Arabic adaption of Galenic themes.
The commentaries and summaries mentioned in GAS III 87f. and in Gerhard Fichtner, Corpus Galenicum. Verzeichnis der galenischen und pseudogalenischen Schriften ( Tübingen 1987 ) , no. 9, are different from those in our text, which in addition has no relationship to the redactions by Ibn Rushd ابن رشد , the Talkhis Kitab al-Mizaj تلخيص كتاب المزاج , ed. M.a de la Concepcion Vazquez de Benito ( in: Talkhisat ila Jalinus تلخيصات إلى جالينوس , Madrid 1984, pp. 35-94 ) = ed. G.C.

On the medical works by Hubaysh ( died at the end of the 3rd/9th century ) , a nephew of the famous translator Hunayn حنين , → GAS III 265f. and Ullmann, Medizin, p. 119. Our text is nowhere mentioned, perhaps because it is not an elaborate treatise and a summarizing survey on the different phases of life and external appearances of man and their dependence upon the four ( Galenic ) humours, including a short discussion of those factors which affect them. The text confirms the acquaintance of Hubaysh with ophthalmology and does not seem to be derived from the medical texts known to have been written by Hubaysh. It may be worthwhile to compare the ( still unpublished ) Ziyadat زيادات , an appendix to Hunayn, al-Masa'il fi al-tibb المسائل في الطب ( on which → above fols. 182v-197r ) ; on the Ziyadat → Ullmann, Medizin, p. 118 ( note 5 ) .

The text is different from Abu al-Barakat al-Baghdadi's أبو البركات البغدادي description of the antidote called amir al-arwah أمير الأرواح ( → beginning and end of Ms. Konya, Yusuf Aga 4983, fols. 157b-159a in Dietrich, Medicinalia 230 ) and can not be found in al-Qalanisi القلانسي ( wrote 590/1194; → Ullmann, Medizin 307 ) , Kitab al-Aqrabadhin كتاب الأقرباذين , ed. Muhammad Zuhayr al-Baba محمد زهير البابا ( Aleppo 1983 ) , pp. 56-86.

[2231] fols. 201v-202v: Anonymous: Risala fi alamat al-amzija wa-dhikr i'tiqadat al-atibba' fi al-mu'alajat wa-ashab al-qiyas wa-al-tajriba wa-al-hiyal رسالة في علامات الأمزجة وذكر اعتقادات الأطباء في المعالجات وأصحاب القياس والتجربة والحيل .
The title can only be found on fol. 1v. The author gives a survey of the opinions on the Galenic temperaments held by analogists ( ashab al-qiyas أصحاب القياس ) , empiricists ( ashab al-tajaribأصحاب التجارب ) and methodists ( ashab al-hiyalأصحاب الحيل ).
In this tripartition of doctrines the author follows Galen's Perì hairéseōn tois eisagoménois ( ed. Kühn I 64-105 ) in the translation of Hunayn Ibn Ishaq حنين بن إسحق : Firaq al-tibb lil-muta'allimin = Kitab Arasis فرق الطب للمتعلمين = كتاب أراسيس ( → GAS III 79f. ) ed. Muhammad Salim Salim محمد سليم سالم ( Cairo 1977 ) pp. 16ff., 23ff. and 44ff. The text seems to have been compiled by an Arabic author who used the available Arabic translation of Galen.

Beginning ( without Basmala and title ) :
هذه الآراء ثلثة : أحدها رأى أصحاب القياس والثاني رأى أصحاب التجارب والثالث رأى أصحاب الحيل ، فأصحاب القياس يرومون أن يعلموا طبيعة المرض...

End:

[2234] fols. 203v-204v: Anonymous: A note on ma'jun suqrat ismuhu "mufrih al-mahzun", Naqlu Hunayn Ibn Ishaq bi-lisan{i} al-yunan{i} ila lisan al-Arab ‏ معجون سقراط اسمه "مفرح المحزون"، نقل حنين بن إسحق بلسانـ(ي) اليونانـ(ي) إلى لسان العرب‏ .

The text is perhaps a fragment from Galen's lost work Perì paramythías which in the 9th century had been translated into Syriac by Ayyub al-Ruhawi أيوب الرحاوي and Hunayn Ibn Ishaq and into Arabic by Hubaysh حبيش : → Hunayn Ibn Ishaq's letter to Ali Ibn Yahya علي بن يحيى on the translations of Galen's works ed. G. Bergsträsser, Hunayn Ibn Ishaq über die syrischen und arabischen Galen-Übersetzungen ( Leipzig 1925 = AKM 17/2 ) , p. 49, 14/German translation p.40 = ed. Abd al-Rahman Badawi عبد الرحمن بدوي , Dirasat wa-nusus fi al-falsafa wa-al-ulum ind al-Arab دراسة ونصوص في الفلسفة والعلوم عند العرب ( Beirut 1981 ) , p. 177, 6: Kitab fi sarf al-ightimam كتاب في صرف الاغتمام . The text is apparently also mentioned in Ibn Abi Usaybi'a ابن أبي أصيبعة ( as above on 143v-146r ) ed. Müller 84, ult. ss. with the title Kitab fi nafy al-ghamm كتاب في نفي الغم ; compare Moritz Steinschneider, Die arabischen Übersetzungen aus dem Griechischen ( Graz 1960 ) p. 352f. and GAS III 69. Our Ms. mentions Hunayn and not Hubaysh ( the nephew and pupil of Hunayn ) as translator; this may be due to a confusion and wrong attribution. In this case, it would be helpful to compare Hubaysh, Kitab al-Aqrabadhin كتاب الأقراباذين , which unfortunately is lost, but quoted by Razi الرازي , Kitab al-Hawi كتاب الحاوي ; → GAS III 266 and Ullmann, Medizin, p. 302. al-Qalanisi القلانسي , Kitab al-Aqrabadhin كتاب الأقراباذين , ed. Muhammad Zuhayr al-Baba محمد زهير البابا ( Aleppo 1983 ) does not contain an identical lemma; some similarities can be found in the entries on mufrih ( translation of anushdaru أنوشدارو ) on which → Irene Fellmann, Das Aqrabadhin al Qalanisi ( Beirut-Wiesbaden 1986. = BTS 35 ) pp. 246f.

[2235] fols. 204v-207r: A titleless treatise on melodies ( naghamat نغمات) , questions by Khaqanخاقان and answers by some unnamed scholar, in Persian. The end mentions abrupely "al-abd al-aqall Muhammad Nasir Ibn Shah Husayn al-Sayyaf al-Tibrizi العبد الأقل محمد نصير بن شاه حسين السياف التبريزي " and the year 1062/1652. Could this be the author of the text and also the copyist of the whole Ms.?

[2236] fols. 207r-208r: Abu al-Barakat al-Baghdadi أبو البركات البغدادي : A note on Bursha'tha ( sic ) al-mujarrab = Sifat barsha'tha برشعثا المجرب = صفة برشعثا .

A second Ms. of this description of an Indian antidote with an Aramaic name is Konya, Yusuf Aga 4983 ( copied 723/1323 ) , fols. 154v-157r. According to Dietrich, Medicinalia 228 the Konya Ms. is perhaps an extract from Abu al-Barakat al-Baghdadi ( died after 560/1165 ) , Barsha'tha al-mujarrab برشعثا المجرب , Ms. Ayasofya 3555. Our Ms. seems to contain only the beginning, perhaps one third of the original.

On Ibn al-Baytar ( died 646/1248 ) → Ullmann, Medizin, pp. 280-282.
Our Ms. has the lemma on duhn al-ajur دهن الآجر ( "olive oil" ) which is longer than the text of the edition ( II, Bulaq 1291/1874, pp. 109f. ) : the passage fols. 208r4 (wa-huwa harr وهو حار ) - 209r, ult. is not in the edition; the text fols. 209v1 (Min hasha'ish Ibn al-Baytar ‏ من حشائش ابن البيطار ) - 210v7 = ed. Bulaq II pp. 109, 31-110, 16. In the printed text follows a passage on the quality (sifaصفة‏) of duhn al-ajur (110, 16-28) which is not in our ms.

[2238] fols. 210v-211v: Rufus روفس , A note on thum ثوم ( "garlic" ) , with anonymous commentary. On Rufus ( 2nd half of the 1st century A.D. ) and his medical works, of which many survived only in Arabic translation → GAS III 64ff.; Ullmann, Medizin, pp. 71ff.; id., Die arabische Überlieferung der Werke des Rufus van Ephesos, in: Proceedings of the 1st International Symposion for the History of Arabic Science II ( Aleppo 1979 ) , p. 348-357. Ullmann has edited several texts by Rufus: → Rufus von Ephesos, Krankenjournale, Wiesbaden 1978; → Die Schrift des Rufus von Ephesos über die Gelbsucht in arabischer und lateinischer Übersetzung. Göttingen 1983 ( = Abhandlungen der Akademie der Wissenschaftren in Göttingen, Philol.-hist. Kl. 3.F. no. 138 ) . Our text is different from Ibn al-Baytar ابن البيطار , al-Jami' الجامع ( → on 208r-209r ) I 152, 17ff.. Its beginning ( qala Rufus - al-kulli قال روفس – الكلي ) seems to be derived from Razi الرازي ( Rhazes; died 311/923 or 320/932; → Ullmann, Medizin 128ff.; GAS III 274ff. ) , al-Hawi fi al-tibb الحاوي في الطب ( Hyderabad 1955ff. ) XX p. 217, 6 = French translation in Ch. Daremberg/Ch.-É. Ruelle, Oeuvres de Rufus d'Éphèse ( Paris 1879 ) II 534 no. 406 ( the Rufus-quotation in Razi is longer ) . Our Ms. has added a long commentary introduced by fa-innahu ya'ni فإنه يعني .

Beginning:
قال روفس : إنّ الثوم يضرّ بالرأس والعين والرئة والكلي ، فأنه يعني به أنّ هذه الأعضاء متى كان زائلا عن الاعتدال إلى الحرارة أو إلى اليبس أو إلى الحرارة واليبس معا فإن الثوم يضرّها ، والثوم غذاء ودواء كثير المنافع وهو بنفسه ترياق وينفع من جميع ما ينفع منه الترياق الكبير المسمى الفاروق والبرّي منه المسمى سقورديون...

[2242] fols. 1r-46v: Fragment of a medical handbook on diseases and their remedies, perhaps Abu Sahl al-Sijzi أبو سهل السجزي , al-Rasa'il al-tibbiya = al-Kunnash الرسائل الطبية = الكناش . The Ms. begins in the chapter on the eye ( fols. 1r-11v ) , continues with a chapter on the ear ( 11v-16r ) , on the nose ( 16r-18v ) , the mouth including teeth and neck ( 19r-36r ) , the chest and lung ( 36r-44r ) , the heart ( 44r-46v ) and ends in the chapter on the stomach ( 46v ) : [amrad al-ayn أمراض العين ]: al-tarfa الطرفة ( 1r ) ; al-zafara الظفرة ( 1v ) ; al-sabal السبل ( 2r ) ; al-jarab الجرب ( 2v ) ; intishar al-ashfar انتشار الأشفار ( 3v ) ; al-sha'r al-munqalib الشعر المنقلب ( 3v ) ; al-qaml fi al-ashfar القمل في الأشفار ( 4r ) ; al-ma' الماء ( 4v ) ; al-ghisha' الغشاء ( 5v ) ; al-quruh القروح ( 6v ) ; al-gharb الغرب ( 8r ) ; al-rashh al-dam'a الرشح الدمعة ( 8v ) ; al-intishar الانتشار ( 8v ) ; al-sha'ira الشعيرة ( 9r ) ; al-juhuz الجحوظ ( 9r ) ; al-hawal الحول ( 9r ) ; al-hurqa الحرقة ( 9v ) ; al-khasha الخشا ( 9v ) ; du'f al-basar ضعف البصر ( 10r ) ; zurqa زرقة ( 10v ) ; hifz al-ayn حفظ العين ( 11r ) ; waja' al-udhn وجع الأذن : al-tarash الطرش ( 14r ) ; al-tanin wa-al-dawa الطنين والدوى ( 15r ) ; dukhul al-ma' wa-al-hawa' fi al-udhn دخول الماء والهواء في الأذن ( 15v ) ; hifz al-sam' حفظ السمع ( 16r ) ; amrad al-anf أمراض الأنف : al-bawasir fi al-anf البواسير في الأنف ( 17r ) ; quruh fi al-anf قروح في الأنف ( 17v ) ; al-natn fi al-anf النتن في الأنف ( 18r ) ; al-ru'af الرعاف ( 18v ) ; [lacuna]; [amrad al-fam أمراض الفم , incomplete at the beginning and perhaps at the end]: al-bakhar البخر ( 21r ) ; al-nashib fi al-halq الناشب في الحلق ( 22r ) ; ilal al-asnan علل الأسنان ( 22v ) ; ilal al-litha علل اللثة ( 26v ) : al-khawaniq الخوانيق ( 27v ) ; [lacuna after 28v]; al-nazla النزلة ( 29r ) ; al-su'al السعال ( 31v ) ; buhha بحة ( 33v ) ; quruh al-dam min al-fam قروح الدم من الفم ( 34v ) ; [amrad al-sadr wa-al-ri'a أمراض الصدر والرئة ]: al-rabw الربو ( 36r ) ; [lacuna after 36v]; dhat al-ri'a ذات الرئة ( 37r ) ; al-sill السل ( 38v ) ; amrad al-qalb أمراض القلب ( 44r ) : al-ghashy الغشي ( 45v ) ; amrad al-ma'ida أمراض المعدة ( 46v, incomplete ) . The fragment mentions on fols. 46v as title qanun ilaj maneh قانون علاج مانه ( sic ) ; any association with Ibn Sina's Qanun القانون لابن سينا , however, would be wrong. It is not an adaption of this work. Some indications that the fragment is part of a work written before Ibn Sina are given by the authors quoted in our text: Aflitus ‏ أفليطوس‏ 5v13;Ahrun ( 6th century A.D.; → GAS III 166-168 ) 4r10; 4v, ult.; 31r11. 16; 43r10; Ali Ibn Rabban al-Tabari علي بن ربن الطبري ( died ca. 250/864; → GAS III 236-240 ) 3v9; 5v18; Aristotle ( → GAS III 49-51 ) 5v20; Galen ( → GAS III 68ff. ) 3r1 ( here and in a few other cases abbreviated with the letter "j ج " ) ; 6v6; 9v3; 11r1; 11v13; 13r11; 17r3; 17v5; 20v7; 23v13; 32r19; 35r3; 38r, ult., 42v8.12; 43r1.3; 45r13; Jibra'il Ibn Bukhtishu' جبرائيل بن بختيشوع( died 213/828; → GAS III 226-7 ) 22v11-12; Hippocrates → GAS III 23ff. ) 14r20; 30v17; 36r7; 37r11; 37v2; 40r14; 42r12; 46r, ult.; Hunayn حنين ( died 260/873; → GAS III 247ff. ) 13r1.15 ( ? ) ; 26r7; Ibn Masawaih ابن ماسويه ( born 160/776; → GAS III 231-236 ) 5v15; 37r3; 40v14; Ibn Sarabiyun ابن سرابيون ( 9th century; → GAS III 240-2 and M.

As the list of quoted texts shows, the youngest author is Razi الرازي ; he is quoted more than the other authors. Razi offers us a terminus post quem for the composition of our text. Perhaps a comparison with the unpublished Rasa'il al-tibbiyaرسائل الطبية ( = al-Kunnash الكناش ) by Abu Sahl Bishr Ibn Ya'qub Ibn Ishaq al-mutatabbib al-Sijziأبو سهل بشر بنيعقوب بن إسحق المتطبب السجزي from the 2nd half of the 4th/10th century ( → GAS III 325f. ) could be helpful: according to the excerpts given in Dietrich, Medicinalia, pp. 66-68, Abu Sahl al-Sijzi's Rasa'il al-tibbiya mostly quotes the same authors, whose names are given in an identical manner. The work consists of 4 maqalat مقالات , of which the first maqala مقالة discusses ( in 11 rasa'il رسائل ) the diseases and their remedies from the head to the stomach.

On the author ( died 815/1412 ) and this still unedited treatise on arithmetic → GAL II 125 no.2 and S II 154 no.2. The end differs from Ms. Berlin 5986 and 5987 and is as follows: ومن رام التبحر في التصرف في المجهول بالأعداد المتناسلة فعليه بالمعونة التي فاقت كثير هذا الفنّ قاطبة ، ولله الحمد أولا وآخرا وظاهرا وباطنا والحمد لله وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم والله أعلم ،

The author of the commentary ( completed 18 Sha'ban 947/18 December 1540 ) , al-Ghazzi Shihab al-Din ( died 983/1575 ) is not mentioned in our Ms.; he can be identified by a comparison with Ms. Berlin 5982 ( → the description by Ahlwardt ) . The Berlin Ms. no. 5982 ( in fact two copies ) is mentioned by Brockelmann ( GAL II 125 no. 1c ) wrongly as a commentary on Ibn al-Ha'im, Murshidat al-talib. The commentary by Ghazzi is mentioned by Brockelmann only in a supplementary note in GAL S III 1258, l. 33f.; he refers to the Garrett collection ( Princeton ) : → the Catalogue by Mach, no. 4807 ( lists 5 mss. ) .

al-Chilli wrote his commentary on difficult places in Baha' al-Din al-Amili ( died 1030/1621 ) , Khulasat al-hisab ( a compendium of arithmetic ) in the 11th/17th century. Further mss. of this still unedited commentary: → GAL S II 596f. and Princeton no. 4827.

A treatise on seven preconditions for the appearance of rainbows. The author mainly follows Aristotle's theory of visual rays and reflections; → Aristotle, Meteorology III 4-5 and H. Daiber, Ein Kompendium der aristotelischen Meteorologie in der Fassung des Hunayn Ibn Ishaq حنين بن إسحق , Amsterdam-Oxford 1975, p. 90f. - The text is published by L. Cheikho ( al-Mashriq ‏ المشرق‏ 15, Beirut 1912, pp. 736ff.) and translated into German by E. Wiedemann, Gesammelte Schriften zur arabisch-islamischen Wissen-schaftsgeschichte II ( ed. by D. Girke and D. Bischoff ) , Frankfurt/M. 1984, pp. 746-748. Nearly the same text is al-Qazwini القزويني ( died 610/1213 ) , Aja'ib al-makhluqat ‏ عجائب المخلوقات ed. Faruq Sa'd ‏ فاروق سعد ( Beirut 1978 ) pp. 144, 20-145, 15. al-Qazwini, however, offers the seven preconditions slightly summarized to four preconditions and mentions as source "al-Qadi Umar Ibn Sahlan al-Munawi القاضي عمر بن سهلان المناوي " = Zayn al-Din Umar Ibn Sahlan al-Sawi زين الدين عمر بن سهلان الساوي ( al-Sawaji الساوجي ; → GAL S I 830f. ) , who wrote for the Sultan Sanjar Ibn Malikshah سنجر بن ملكشاه ( 511-552/1117-1157 ) a Persian meteorology entitled al-Risala al-Sanjariya fi al-ka'inat al-unsuriya الرسالة السنجرية في الكائنات العنصرية ( ed. Muhammad Taqi Daneshpajuh, Du risala dar bara-i athar-i ulwi, Teheran 1337/1958, pp. 1-56 ). The section on the rainbow ( ed. Daneshpajuh 23-27 ) corresponds with al-Qazwini, not with our Arabic Ms. which is perhaps part of an older, longer source, which also was used by al-Sawi in the 6th/12th century.

The Ms. contains a collection of still unedited astronomical treatises by Yahya Ibn Muhammad Ibn Abi Shukr al-Maghribi al-Andalusi يحيى بن محمد بن أبي شكر المغربي الأندلسي ( died between 680-90/1281-1291 ) and by Abu Ma'shar al-Balkhi أبو معشر البلخي ( 171/787-272/886 ) .

[part I]. On the text → GAL I 474 no. 1; S I 868 no. 1; Kahhale XIII 224f.; an additional Ms. ( with different beginning and with nearly identical end ) is Zahiriya ( now Maktabat al-Asad, Damascus ) , no. 6222 ( vol. VI: Fahras ilm al-hay'a فهرس علم الهيئة by I. Khuri الخوري , Damascus 1389/1969, p. 267 ) : Risala fi al-ahkam ala tahawil sini al-alam رسالة في الأحكام على تحاويل سني العالم.
According to the introduction ( fol. 1v6f. ) , this text forms part 1 of a book consisting of 4 treatises ( maqalat مقالات ) , of which the first two treatises are called al-Mudkhal al-mufid and the third one Ghunyat al-mustafid fi al-hukm ala al-mawalid غنية المستفيد في الحكم على المواليد . The four maqalat مقالاتseem to be identical with the Arba' maqalat fi al-nujum أربع مقالات في النجومmentioned in GAL I 475 no. 3.

Beginning ( differs from mss. Zahiriya 6222 and Gotha 65/1 ) :
أحمده ما ذرّ شارق ولاح بارق حمدا...وقد جمعت في هذا الكتاب نبذا من أقاويل الحكماء المتقدمين ولطائف من فوائد المتأخرين..

End:
إذا كان المشتري مع الرأس في وسط السماء وصاحب الطالع سليما من المناحس والقمر متصلا بالسعود فإنه وقت إجابة الدعاء ، وفيما ذكرنا كفاية ،

As in Ms. Gotha 65/1 the text consists of 9 sections ( fasl فصل ) with several subsections. The main sections are: 1 ) fi dhikr al-buruj wa-qismatiha wa-taba'i'ha wa-dalalatiha ala al-ashya' في ذكر البروج وقسمتها وطبائعها ودلالتها على الأشياء
1) fi dhikr al-buruj wa-qismatiha wa-taba'i'ha wa-dalalatiha ala al-ashya' ‏ في ذكر البروج وقسمتها وطبائعها ودلالتها على الأشياء‏ (1v).
2) fi dhikr muthallathat al-buruj wa-hududiha wa-arba'iha wa-anwa' dhalika fima yata'allaqu biha ‏ في ذكر مثلثات البروج وحدودها وأرباعها وأنواع ذلك فيما يتعلق بها‏ (6v).
3) fi dhikr taba'i' al-kawakib wa-ma yadullu alayhi min al-ashya' wa-al-aqalim wa-al-buldan ‏ في ذكر طبائع الكواكب وما يدل عليه من الأشياء والأقاليم والبلدان (9v).
4) fi dhikr ma ya'ridu li-[l-]kawakib al-sab'a ‏ في ذكر ما يعرض للكواكب السبعة‏ (14v).
5) fi dhikr quwat al-kawakib wa-du'fiha wa-ma yata'allaqu biha ‏ في ذكر قوة الكواكب وضعفها وما يتعلق بها‏ (17r).
6) fi ma'rifat al-tasyirat wa-al-intiha'at al-uzma wa-ma yata'allaqu biha min al-wusta wa-al-sughra wa-sahib al-dawr ‏ في معرفة التسييرات والانتهاءات العظمى وما يتعلق بها من الوسطى والصغرى وصاحب الدور (22v).

8) fi dhikr muqaddimatin tata'allaqu bi-al-ibtida' wa-al-ish'ar wa-awwalu dhalika al-qawl ala fath al-bab wa-dalalatihi ‏ في ذكر مقدمة تتعلق بالابتداء والإشعار وأول ذلك القول على فتح الباب ودلالته (28r).
9) fi dhikr ba'd al-ikhtiyarat al-muhtaja ilayha ‏ في ذكر بعض الاختيارات المحتاجة إليها‏ (28v13).


[2262] fols.33v-137r: Ibn Abi Shukr ابن أبي شكر : al-Mudkhal al-mufid المدخل المفيد ( part II ) . Compare the description of the preceding text. The text does not repeat the title. According to the introduction, it is a continuation of the preceding text and like the latter a selection of what the author collected on al-Ahkam ala al-mawalid الأحكام على المواليد ( 33v3f. ) according to scholars in the past and present ( al-hukama' al-mutaqaddimin wa-al-fudala' al-muta'akhkhirin الحكماء المتقدمين والفضلاء المتأخرين ) . The text consists of 3 maqalatمقالات , each with many sections ( fasl فصل ‏ 33v-51v: al-maqala al-ula‏ المقالة الأولى ‏, consisting of 10 sections. 51v-77v: al-maqala al-thaniya fi dhikr al-ahkam al-kulliya المقالة الثانية في ذكر الأحكام الكلية , consisting of 11 sections. 77v-137r: al-maqala al-thalitha fi dhikr dalalat al-buyut al-ithna ashar wa-ma yata'allaqu biha min ahwal al-mawlud المقالة الثالثة في ذكر دلالات البيوت الاثنا عشر وما يتعلق بها من أحوال المولود , consisting of 12 sections. As this enumeration shows, the text is identical with Ms. Vatican 1400 which in GAL S I 868 no. 1 correctly is titled al-Mudkhal al-mufid fi hukm al-mawalid المدخل المفيد في حكم المواليد . As we have seen in the description of the preceding text this is not quite correct, as we have here only part II of al-Mudkhal al-mufid. The Vatican Ms. is incomplete at the beginning and begins in the middle of the 4th fasl in the first maqala. The description of Levi della Vida, Elenco, pp. 216f. incorrectly speaks of 4 ( instead of 3 ) maqalat.

Beginning:

Further mss.: → GAL I 475 no. 4; S I 868 no.6 and perhaps no. 20; Sheshen ششن , Nawadir نوادرIII p. 69 mentions one Ms. with the title: Risala fi kayfiyat tahawil sini al-alam رسالة في كيفية تحاويل سني العالم ; also Zahiriya no. 10 ( Fahras ilm al-hay'a فهرس علم الهيئة by I. Khuri الخوري , Damascus 1389/1969, p. 69 ) . The text is different from no. 6780 ( Fahras p. 253 ) : Kitab Ahkam al-nujum كتاب أحكام النجوم.

Beginning:

End:

Because this text follows part I and II of Ibn Abi Shukr, Kitab al-Mudkhal al-mufid كتاب المدخل المفيد , we could assume its identity with part III which in the introduction of part I ( → fol. 1v ) is called Ghunyat al-mustafid fi al-hukm ala al-mawalid غنية المستفيد في الحكم على المواليد . As a comparison with the Ghunyat al-mustafid in Ms. W Ms.Or.182 of the Wellcome Institute shows ( → Iskandar, Catalogue, pp. 99f. ) , however, this is not the case; the Ghunyat al-mustafid ( mentioned in GAL S I 869 no. 21 with 2 mss. ) is not in our Ms.

The text has no introduction but states that its author, Abu Ma'shar al-Balkhi أبو معشر البلخي , used the accounts of the Greeks and of other early scholars and then begins as follows:

This astrological treatise on conjunctions is identical with Abu Ma'shar ( died 272/886 ) , Kitab al-Qiranat كتاب القرانات , also called Kitab al-Iqtiranat كتاب الاقترانات , or Kitab al-Dalalat ala al-ittisalat wa-qiranat al-kawakib fi al-buruj al-ithnay ashar كتاب الدلالات على الاتصالات وقرانات الكواكب في البروج الاثني عشر or Kitab al-Dalalat ala al-ittisalat lil-kawakib wa-qiranat al-kawakib fi al-buruj al-ithnay ashar كتاب الدلالة على الاتصالات للكواكب وقرانات الكواكب في البروج الاثني عشر etc.; → GAS VII 144; Ullmann, Natur- und Geheimwissenschaften, p. 320. As the beginnings of other mss. show ( → GAS VII 144; add Ms. Najaf, Maktabat Ayat Allah al-Hakim مكتبة آية الله الحكيم , Majmu'a مجموعة no. 852, pp. 2-34 ) , our text is similarly a revised version of Abu Ma'shar's work on conjunctions; in view of its transmission among treatises by Ibn Abi Shukr ابن أبي شكر , it may be a revision made by Ibn Abi Shukr. It is different from Ibn Abi Shukr, al-Hukm ala qiranat al-kawakib fi al-buruj al-ithnay ashar الحكم على قرانات الكواكب في البروج الاثني عشر ( → GAL I 474 no.5; S I 868 no.5 ) = Risala fi iqtiranat al-kawakib al-sab'a fi al-buruj al-ithnay ashar رسالة في اقترانات الكواكب السبعة في البروج الاثني عشر ( British Musem 414 no. 2 ) = ( as I suppose ) al-Dalalat ala al-ittisalat wa-qiranat al-kawakib fi al-buruj al-ithnay ashar الدلالات على الاتصالات وقرانات الكواكب في البروج الاثني عشر ( Ms. in Kütahya/Turkey; → Sheshen, Nawadir III 69 ).

On the author ( died 1205/1791 ) → Kahhale II 296. This treatise is neither mentioned in Brockelmann ( → GAL S II 1015 no. 18a in an appendix on un- identifiable authors ) nor in Kahhale. A second copy, as our text without author, is Princeton 4975. A third Ms., preserved in the Köprülü Library ( → Catalogue III p. 341 no. 709/2 ) , enables us to identify the text. The text describes the function of the quadrant with parallels of latitude as instrument for the fixation of the times of prayer and fasting. → Eilhard Wiedemann, Aufsätze zur arabischen Wissenschaftsgeschichte ( Hildesheim-New York 1970 ) I pp. 560ff.; 758 ff. Fol. 25v contains in the margin 4 concentric circles with the names of the months and the constellations belonging to them.

Ms. 128.

48 folios; 16,7×25,8 cm; 15-23 lines; irregular naskhi, in part tending to nasta'liq. Single words are written in red ink. Brownish, thin paper, in part damaged in the margin. Blank pages are fols. 20r, 26r-27r. Modern cardboard binding. Hand of the 12th/18th century.

[2269] fols. 1v-19v: Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Abi al-Fath al-Sufi al-Shafi'i al-Misri محمد بن محمد بن أبي الفتح الصوفي الشافعي المصري : Tashil al-ibara fi taqwim al-kawakib al-sayyara تسهيل العبارة في تقويم الكواكب السيارة .

The author of the text is not mentioned; according to the title-page ( fol. 1r ) the Ms. contains Kitab Zij al-mukhtasar li-Ibn Yunis al-Misri كتاب زيج المختصر لابن يونس المصري .
A modern hand identified Ibn Yunis with the famous Egyptian astronomer Ibn Yunis who died 399/1009 and who is the author of al-Zij al-kabir al-Hakimi الزيج الكبير الحاكمي ( written on behalf of al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah الحاكم بأمر الله) of which only fragments and two extracts are preserved ( → GAS VI 230f. ) . A closer study of the text shows, however, that it can not be the summary of Ibn Yunis, al-Zij al-kabir al-Hakimi; it is based on later sources. Our Ms. was perhaps attributed to Ibn Yunis by a later copyist because he was misled by the remark on fol. 2r in which the author declares his intention to write a summary of "my Zij al-kabir ".
Our text consists of 10 chapters and an epilogue:
1) fi ma'rifat al-tawarikh al-khamsa wa-a'yadihim wa-mawasimihim ‏ في معرفة التواريخ الخمسة وأعيادهم ومواسمهم (2v-5v).
2) fi ma yuhtaju ilayhi min hisab al-a'mal al-falakiya ‏ في ما يحتاج إليه من حساب الأعمال الفلكية (6r-9v).
3) fi taqwim al-nayrayn al-shams wa-al-qamar wa-al-kawakib al-khamsa ‏ في تقويم النيرين الشمس والقمر والكواكب الخمسة‏ (9v-10v).
4) fi maqamat al-kawakib lil-ruju' wa-al-istiqama ‏ في مقامات الكواكب للرجوع والاستقامة‏ (10v).
5) fi ma'rifat ard al-qamar ‏ في معرفة عرض القمر‏ (11r-v).
6) fi ma'rifat al-ijtima' wa-al-istiqbal ‏ في معرفة الاجتماع والاستقبال‏ (11v-12v).
7) fi ma'rifat ru'yat al-ahilla al-arabiya ‏ في معرفة رؤية الأهلة العربية‏ (13r-v).
8) fi ma'rifat khusuf al-qamar ‏ في معرفة خسوف القمر‏ (13v-14v).
9) fi ma'rifat kusuf al-shams في معرفة كسوف الشمس (14v-16r).
10) fi ma'rifat ittisalat al-qamar bi-al-kawakib wa-mumazajat al-kawakib ba'diha bi-ba'din ‏ في معرفة اتصالات القمر بالكواكب وممازجات الكواكب بعضها ببعض‏ (16r-17v).

Comparison with Ms. Berlin 5685 shows that the chapters and their sequence undoubtedly are inspired by al-Kum al-Rishi الكوم الريشي ( died 836/1432 ) , al-Lum'a fi hall al-sab'a اللمعة في حل السبعة , which is a summary of his work Nuzhat al-nazir fi talkhis Zij Ibn al-Shatir نزهة الناظر في تلخيص زيج ابن الشاطر ( mentioned GAL II 127; S II 158 ) . Our text combined single chapters in one and appears to be a shortened reproduction of al-Rishi's summary al-Lum'a ( 12 chapters ) . Therefore its terminus post quem may be the year 836/1432. This conclusion can be confirmed by a comparison with an astronomical Ms. preserved in the Iraq Museum Library and described by Usama Nasir al-Naqshbandi أسامة ناصر النقشبندي and Zamiya' Muhammad Abbas ظمياء محمد عباس , Makhtutat al-falak wa-al-tanjim fi maktabat al-mathaf al-Iraqi مخطوطات الفلك والتنجيم في مكتبة المتحف العراقي ( Baghdad 1982 ) , pp. 202f. ( no. 518 ) ; this Ms. with the Library no. 33245 contains Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Qadir Ibn Ahmad Ibn Dallal al-Wafa'i al-Misri al-Shafi'i محمد بن عبد القادر بن أحمد بن دلال الوفائي المصري الشافعي ( still alive 937/1530 ) , al-Lu'lu' al-nazim fi ma'rifat hall al-taqwim اللؤلؤ النظيم في معرفة حل التقويم . The author and this work are not mentioned in any bio-bibliographical source. According to the description, it contains the same chapters as our Ms.; the beginning is different, however, and the author of the Lu'lu' al-nazim declares that he followed Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Abi al-Fath al-Sufi al-Shafi'i al-Misri, Tashil al-ibara fi al-kawakib al-sayyara تسهيل العبارة في الكواكب السيارة , of which he summarized the informations. This ascription of Tashil to Ibn Abi al-Fath al-Sufi can be confirmed from Hajji Khalifa, Kashf II 967, 4; Hajji Khalifa adds the remark that the book was written on behalf of Abd al-Rahman al-Salihi عبد الرحمن الصالحي , "timekeeper" ( muwaqqit موقت ) at the Omayyad mosque in Damascus who ca. 900/1494 compiled astronomical tables based on the Zij زيج of Ulughbeg ( who died 853/1449 ) : → GAL II 129f.; S II 161 and 298. From this information we can conclude that our text, which on fol. 2v clearly states that its author has entitled it ( sammaytuhu ) Tashil al-ibara fi taqwim al-kawakib al-sayyara ‏ (سميته) تسهيل العبارة في تقويم الكواكب السيارة‏ , was written by Muhammad Ibn Abi al-Fath al-Sufi. According to Brockelmann, this well-known author of several astronomical works ( → GAL S II 159; compare Kahhale XI 116; mss. Princeton 4990; 5035-5037 ) was still alive in 943/1536. He may have written the Tashil at the end of the 15th or at the beginning of the 16th century. As long as the relation of our Ms. to the anonymous extract from al-Rishi's above mentioned Lum'a in Ms. Gotha 1379, 3 ( mentioned GAL II2 157 no. 8, 1 ) is unclear, it seems that our Ms. is unique. Unclear, too, is the relation of our text to Ibn al-Banna' ابن البناء ( died 721/1321 or later; → now Ridwan Banshaqrun رضوان بنشقرون , Ibn al-Banna' al-Marrakusi al-ma'ruf bi-al-adadi ابن البناء المراكصي المعروف بالعددي , Rabat 1984 ) , al-Yasara fi taqwim ( ta'dil ) al-kawakib al-sayyara ‏ اليسارة في تقويم (تعديل) الكواكب السيارة ‏ , its anonymous supplement Tashil al-ibara fi takmil ma naqasa an al-yasara ‏‏ تسهيل العبارة في تكميل ما نقص عن اليسارة‏ and the commentary by Ibn al-Qunfudh ابن القنفذ , Tashil al-matalib fi ta'dil al-kawakib ‏ تسهيل المطالب في تعديل الكواكب ( → GAL II 255 no. 7 and S II 364 no.7 ) . As our Ms. ( fol. 2r14f. ) refers to Ibn al-Banna', al-Yasara, we should not exclude the possibility that Ibn Abi al-Fath al-Sufi used this work.

[2270] fols. 20v-25v: A titleless astronomical treatise. The text begins with a section on conjunctions ( qiranat قرانات ; fols. 20v-21r ) and continues with a chapter on eclipses ( kusufat كسوفات ), called Ibarat al-lum'a fi al-kusuf عبارة اللمعة في الكسوف ( 21r-25v ) . On fol. 22v19 the text refers to Ibn al-Majdi ابن المجدي ( died 850/1447; → GAL II 128; S II 158f. ) ; this author seems to be a terminus post quem. As the preceding text can be attributed to Ibn Abi al-Fath al-Sufi ابن أبي الفتح الصوفي , we should not exclude his authorship for this treatise.

Then follows in alphabetical sequence an enumeration of objects and persons seen in dreams and their meaning ( 6r-64v ) . Our Ms. is incomplete and ends with the interpretation of the appearance of Uthman عثمان in dreams. Several times the author quotes "Artamidurus أرطاميدورس "; this is Artemidorus Daldianus ( 2nd half of the 2nd century A.D. ) , whose Onirocriticon ( Greek text ed. R.A. Pack, Lipsiae 1963 ) was translated into Arabic in the 9th century A.D. ( Ta'bir al-ru'ya ) . The translation is ascribed to Hunayn Ibn Ishaq حنين بن إسحق ; it is edited by T. Fahd ( Damascus 1964 ) . On the translation → M. Ullman in: Die Welt des Islams N.S. 13, Leiden 1971, pp. 204-211 and G. Endress in: Oriens 25-26, Leiden 1976, pp. 341-351.

On the author ( first half of the 5th/11th century ) and this magical and alchemical compilation based on many hermetic sources of Arabic and non-Arabic origin → GAS IV 294ff.; M. Ullmann, Natur- und Geheimwissenschaften 385f.; David Pingree, Some of the Sources of the Ghayat Al-Hakim, in: Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institute 43, London 1980, p. 1-15. The text became wellknown in the Middle Ages in its Latin version ( edited by D. Pingree: The Latin Version of the Ghayat al-hakim, text, introduction, appendices, indices. London 1986. = Studies of the Warburg Institute 39 ) and in its Hebrew version in the Jewish Renaissance: → Moshe Idel, The Magical and Neoplatonic Interpretations of the Kabbalah in the Renaissance, in: Jewish Thought in the Sixteenth Century, ed. by Bernard Dov Cooperman, Cambridge, Mass./London 1983, pp. 186-242, esp. 191ff. Our Ms. shares many variants and omissions with a manuscript group which in H. Ritter's edition ( Istanbul 1933 ) is referred to with the siglum C. It is not a mirror-picture of C, however, and has readings which it does not share either with C1 ( copied 771/1370 ) or C2 ( undated ) and which may go back to a different ( old ) archetype.

Ms. 131.

41 folios; 11,5×16/17 cm; ±23 lines; naskhi. Single words ( sometimes in the margin ) are written in red ink. Some notes on fol. 1r and in the margin. Brown paper of bad quality, damaged and in part worm-eaten. Owner's stamp on fol. 1r ( in part damaged ) : "Muhammad Fariq". According to the colophon, the >Ms. was copied by Dede Mustafa in Damascus during Ramadan 1145/February 1733.

[2276] fols. 1v-12v: Anonymous: Mishkat al-anwar wa-khizanat al-asrar مشكاة الأنوار وخزانة الأسرار ( → fol. 3r3 ) or ( → 1v7 ) Tadbir al-hajar al-mukarram bi-al-tariq al-aqrabتدبير الحجر المكرم بالطريق الأقرب .
The text discusses the sympathetic qualities ( khawass خواص ) of the elixier stone ( al-iksir الإكسير < Greek xērion ) , called al-hajar al-mukarram الحجر المكرم or al-hajar al-karim الحجر الكريم , against chronic diseases. On iksir → J. Needham, Science and Civilization in China V/4, Cambridge 1980, pp. 472ff.; Ullmann, Natur- und Geheimwissenschaften, p. 260 and on the use of stones in medicine → ib., pp. 138ff.
The author adds a description of the composition ( tarkib تركيب ) and qualities ( alwanألوان , quwa قوى ) of the iksir al-bayad إكسير البياض and the iksir al-humra إكسير الحمرة and gives some prescriptions on their use against special diseases like al-humma al-mutbiqa الحمى المطبقة ( 4v3 ) , humma al-daqq حمى الدق ( 4v8 ) , nazf al-dam نزف الدم ( 4v23 ) etc. In the discussion of the magic effects of letters and language, the text appears to be a mixture of alchemy, practical medicine and magic; it refers to three authorities: Muhi al-Din Ibn al-Arabi محي الدين بن العربي , Abd al-Haqq Ibn Sab'in عبد الحق بن سبعين and Ahmad al-Buni أحمد البوني ( 3r ) . The death of al-Buni ( died 622/1225 ) is a terminus post quem of our text, which in its combination of alchemy and magic apparently is inspired by al-Buni ( on whom → Ullmann, Natur- und Geheimwissenschaften, pp. 234 and 390f. ) . It must be written after the 7th/13th century.

Beginning ( after the Basmala ) :
‏ الحمد لله الملك المنّان العظيم السلطان الذي كوّن الأكوان وخلق الإنسان وخصّه بالتمكين والإمكان وأطلعه على حقائق الأعيان وعرفه كيف تزول العلل عن الحيوان ليرجع ‏سليما كما كان وذلك بجوهر الكيان الذي حيّر بمعرفته الأذهان وحجب علم تدبير إكسيره عن غالب الأنس والجان صلى الله على سيدنا محمد ... أما في تدبير الحجر المكرّم ‏بالطريق الأقرب وفي خواصّ إكسيره وكيف تداوى به العلل المزمنة التي هي من المرض الأصعب فاحفظ يا أخي بعلم هذا الفصل حفظ الروح في الجسد ...‏

This hints at an European origin of the paper. Hand of the 12th/18th century. Copied ( katib ) by Mustafa Ibn Shaykh Muhammad al-Rahmati; → fol. 7r, in the margin and the colophon on 6r. The copyist can perhaps be identified with Mustafa Ibn Muhammad al-Ayyubi al-Rahmati ( 1135-1206/1722-1792 ) who is mentioned in Kahhale XII 276f. On fol. 6r20 we are informed that he copied the text "as an introduction" ( tawti'atan ) from a Ms. in the library of Abd Allah Bek.

Starting-point of the text is the thesis that all metals can be traced back to one universal metal, which is gold. The different kinds of metals can regain this original substance by chemical treatment, the elixier. This theory of transmutation of metals, which was strongly opposed by Ibn Sina ابن سينا ( died 428/1037 ) , is defined by al-Tughra'i الطغرائي ( executed 515/1121; → Ullmann, Natur- und Geheimwissenschaften, pp. 229-231 ) and above all by Abu al-Qasim al-Iraqi al-Simawi أبو القاسم العراقي السيماوي ( 7th/13th century; → Ullmann 235-7 ) in his Kitab al-ilm al-muktasab fi zira'at al-dhahab كتاب العلم المكتسب في زراعة الذهب : → the edition by E.J. Holmyard ( Paris 1923 ) and his introduction pp. 4f. al-Tughra'i and al-Simawi have essentially inspired the contents of our text; al-Tughra'i is mentioned on fol. 4v18 as al-Tughra'i and al-Simawi is referred to as Sahib al-Muktasab صاحب المكتسب on fol. 3r11 and 12. al-Simawi's book was apparently the source for a quotation of a poem by Dhu al-Nun al-Misri ذو النون المصري :4r11f. = al-Simawi ed. Holmyard 40,15. In addition, the author of our text quotes different works by Aydamir al-Jildaki أيدمر الجلدكي ( died 743/1342; → Ullmann 237-239 ) : he used Jildaki's commentary on al-Simawi, the Sharh al-Muktasab شرح المكتسب ( 5r26 ) = Kitab Nihayat al-talab fi sharh al-Muktasab كتاب نهاية الطلب في شرح المكتسب ( on which → Ullmann 238 ) and Jildaki's Kitab Ghayat al-surur fi sharh Diwan al-Shudhur كتاب غاية السرور في شرح ديوان الشذور ( 3r6 ) , a commentary on Ibn Arfa' Ra's ابن أرفع رأس ( died 593/1197 ) , Shudhur al-dhahab شذور الذهب , an alchemical poem ( on which → Ullmann 231f. ) which is quoted 3v21. Finally, our author quotes ( 2v12 ) Jildaki's Kitab al-Burhan كتاب البرهان ( on which → Ullmann 239f. ) and has knowledge of Jildaki's Kitab Anwar al-durar fi idah al-hajar كتاب أنوار الدرر في إيضاح الحجر ( on which → Ullmann 241 ) . The latest source quoted by our text is Ali Chelebi = Ali Bek al-Izniqi علي چلبي = علي بك الإزنيقي , also called al-Mu'allif al-jadid المؤلف الجديد ( lived in the 9th/15th century ) ; his Kitab Durar al-anwar fi asrar al-ahjar كتاب درر الأنوار في أسرار الأحجار ( on which → Ullmann 243 ) is mentioned 5r25 ( compare also 3r7; 5r24 and 5v4 ) . Therefore, our text must have been written after the9th/15th century. In addition to al-Izniqi, the author used older sources: besides those listed above he mentions on fol. 2r3 the Kitab al-Arkan al-arba' كتاب الأركان الأربع and as its author "al-ustadh الأستاذ ", perhaps Jabir Ibn Hayyan جابر بن حيان from the 4th/10th century: Jabir is author of the Kitab al-Arkan كتاب الأركان ( → GAS IV 251,9 ) and of the Kitab Tadbir al-arkan wa-al-usul كتاب تدبير الأركان والأصول which has now been edited by Pierre Lory, L'élaboration de l'Élixier suprème ( Damascus 1988 ) , pp. 139-152.

Our Ms. is a shortened version; 3 more mss. with the shortened version are mentioned in GAL S I 401. The ( unshortened? ) text was very influential in medieval astrology and was translated into old Castilian by Jehudah ben Moshe; his version was translated into Latin by Aegidius de Tebaldis and Petrus de Regio in A.D. 1256: Albohazen Haly filius Abenragel, Praeclarissimus liber completus in judiciis astrorum ( printed Venice 1585 and Basel 1551 ) .

Our text ( with lacunas after fols. 2,4 and 6 ) is an extract from an astrological work which ( with some deviations ) is preserved in Ms. Berlin 5896 ( copied ca. 1200/1785; without title or author ) : fol. 1r → ch. 5 ( fol. 11v ) in Ms. Berlin 5896. fol. 1v → ch. 6 ( fol. 13r ) ib. fol. 3r → ch. 10 ( fol. 17v ) ib. fol. 3r → ch.9 ( fol. 16v ) ib. fol. 4r → ch. 11 ( fol. 18v ) ib. fol. 4v → ch. 13 ( fol. 20r ) ib. fol. 5r → ch. 18 ( fol. 23r ) ib. fol. 5v → ch. 8 ( fol. 15r ) ib. The text ends with two chapters ( bab باب ) on the character of the year if it begins on a Thursday or Friday ( fols. 7r-v ) ; such sections cannot be found in Ahlwardt's description of Ms. Berlin 5896. Perhaps they belong to chapter 23 ( fol. 29v ) in the Berlin Ms. Not yet clear is its relation to astro-meteorological treatises ascribed to Daniel ( → GAS VII 313ff. and Fahd, Divination, pp. 408ff. ) . In the margin are some notes and additions. On fol. 7v follows a short remark on prayers and sayings which may help against illness ( incomplete at the end ) . On fols. 8r-v follows a fragment of an astrological work on the meaning of rising comets ( tulu' kawkab al-dhanab طلوع كوكب الذنب ) during special days. And on fols. 9r-10r are some notes and excerpts, mostly from works on applied law ( on zakatزكاة , tahara طهارة etc. ) .

[2282] fols. 10v-19v: Anonymous: Jami' al-lata'if li-majma' al-zara'if min al-kashshaf جامع اللطائف لمجمع الظرائف من الكشاف . A collection of questions and answers which mainly explain why God has created his creation. Earth and heaven, everything in them shows God's almightiness. The text is a cosmological proof of the existence of God, comparable to Ghazzali's al-Hikma fi makhluqat Allah الحكمة في مخلوقات الله ( → edition by Muhammad Rashid Qabbani محمد رشيد قباني , Beirut 1398/1978 ) ; it is different from the contents of Ghazzali's book, however. It includes a lot of themes taken from religious literature; compare, for example, the last question: why has God asked men to pray in a community ( salat al-jama'a صلاة الجماعة) ? The text is incomplete at the end. It differs from those question-answer-texts preserved in the libraries of Berlin ( → nos. 294-299 ) and Princeton ( → nos. 5233-5267 ) . A similar literary pattern ( su'al: ma al-hikma fi ... jawab ‏ سؤال : ما الحكمة في ... جواب) can be found in Ali Dede Bosnawi ( died 1007/1598 ) , Khawatim al-hikam wa-hall al-rumuz wa-kashf al-kunuzخواتم الحكم وحل الرموز والكشف الكنوز , a collection of 300 questions on the wisdom of laws ( → GAL II 427; S II 635 ) , whose contents are different, however, as becomes evident from a comparison with Ms. Leiden Or. 830.

[2284] fols. 24v-28v: Sulayman al-Farisi سليمان الفارسي : [Hikaya حكاية ].
A legend of the conversion of Syrian monks to Islam during the caliphate of Abu Bakr أبو بكر ( A.D. 632-634 ) . The text is said to be transmitted by Sulayman ( Salman ) al-Farisi سليمان (سلمان) الفارسي ( died 37/657 ) . The monks put some questions to Abu Bakr, who sent them off to Ali Ibn Abi Talib علي بن أبي طالب . The answers by Ali convinced the monks and they decided to stay with Ali and to get more instructions on the "laws of Islam" ( shara'i' al-Islam شرائع الإسلام ).
The text is different from the Masa'il al-ruhban مسائل الرهبان attributed to Abu Yazid al-Bistami أبو يزيد البسطامي ( died 261/875 or later; → GAS I 645f. ) : → the edition by Abd al-Rahman Badawiعبد الرحمن بدوي , Shatahat al-Sufiya Iشطحات الصوفية 1 ( Cairo 1949; repr. Kuwait 1976 ) , pp. 173-176: Qissat Abi Yazid al-Bistami ma'a al-rahib قصة أبي يزيد البسطامي مع الراهب ; a different version of that text attributed to Bistami can be found in Ms. Berlin 9057 ( Hikaya by Bistami, telling the conversion to Islam of the monks from Dayr Sim'an دير سمعان ).
A comparison of similar legends ( → also mss. Berlin 9047ff. ) may be helpful for the reconstruction of their literary history and for their dating.

[2285] fols. 29r-31v: Ali Ibn Abi Talib علي بن أبي طالب : Ikhtilaj-name اختلاج نامه , transmitted by Khidr ( or: Khadir ) Dhu al-Qarnayn خضر ذو القرنين . This text on palmomancy, i.e. on divination from involuntary sudden movements of parts of the human body ( a capite ad calcem ) is similar to texts ascribed to Ja'far al-Sadiq جعفر الصادق ( → GAS I 530 no.4 ) or to Daniel, al-Iskandar and "the wise men of Greece and Persia": → the German translation of Ms. Berlin 4259 and 4260 by J. Lippert and F. Kern in H. Diels, Beiträge zur Zuckungsliteratur des Okzidents und Orients, Abhandlungen der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, philos.-hist. Kl. 1907-1908 ( reprint Leipzig 1970 ) , pp. 58-91. Our text is most similar to the version ascribed to an unidentifiable person called Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim Ibn Hisham محمد بن إبراهيم بن هشام ( → GAL S II 1041 no. 36 ) and alleged to be ultimately based on Ali Ibn Abi Talib who transmitted from Ja'far al-Sadiq: → Ms. Berlin 4260, fols. 68v-80v ( Kitab al-Ikhtilaj wa-du'a'ihi كتاب الاختلاج ودعائه) and Ms. Gotha 1325, both of which were used in the German translation by Lippert and Kern in Diels, Beiträge, pp. 85-91. Contrary to our Ms. these mss. include a prayer ( du'a'دعاء ) . A comparison of all mss. seems to be necessary in view of the numerous divergencies and the unsolved problems of source-analysis and transmission. On some more mss. → Fahd, Divination, pp. 397-402 and on a comparison with a Greek text ascribed to Melampos ( Perì palmōn = ed. Diels, Beiträge, pp. 23-32 ) → Fahd, Divination, pp. 418-429. The name of the transmitter of our text, Khidr ( or: Khadir ) Dhu al-Qarnayn replaces Dhu al-Qarnayn ( = Alexander ) in other mss.; this change is based on the Islamic tradition of Khidr/Khadir as companion of Dhu al-Qarnayn; → art. Khadir in EI2 IV ( 1978 ) , 904 and Wh. M. Thackston, Jr., in: Neues Handbuch der Literaturwissenschaft, vol.5 ( Orientalisches Mittelalter ed. W. Heinrichs ) , Wiesbaden 1990, pp. 194f.

[2293] fols. 1r-12r: Ja'far al-Sadiq جعفر الصادق : Qur'a fi 'ilm al-raml قرعة في علم الرمل .

A text with the same title ( al-Qur'a القرعة ) and also ascribed to Ja'far al-Sadiq ( died 148/765 ) is preserved in several mss. ( → GAS 531 no. 29 ) . Their identity with our text, however, is not yet clear: their beginning differs e.g. from Ms. Princeton 5159 and from Ms. Gotha 24/3, which in its beginning also differs from the Princeton Ms. As such texts are later compilations or used by later authors, it is possible that some mss. with the same or with a similar text differ as far as title, beginning and ascription are concerned. A comparison shows that our text is different from the Manafi' suwar al-Qur'an منافع سور القرآنascribed to Ja'far al-Sadiq ( mentioned GAS I 530 no. 6 ) : → Ms. Escorial 1392 ( Derenbourg/Levi Provencal pp. 59f. ) ; this text has in some mss. ( e.g. Mingana 1920[1590] and 1921[329 VI] ) the title Kayfiyat al-tafa''ul min kitab Allah al-azim كيفية التفؤل من كتاب الله العظيم and al-Durr al-nazim fi fada'il al-Qur'an al-azim الدر النظيم في فضائل القرآن العظيم .
This text with varying titles discusses augury by using the Suras; on this → G. Flügel, Die Loosbücher der Muhammedaner, in: Berichte über die Verhandlungen der Königlich-Sächsischen Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig, Philol.-hist. Cl. 13, Leipzig 1861, pp. 24-74, esp. 47f.; Julius Ruska, Arabische Alchemisten II ( Heidelberg 1924 ) , pp. 26f. and references given there. The above-mentioned text on augury from the Koran, like the Qur'a-texts ( also ascribed to Ja'far al-Sadiq ) , is an example of Islamic rhapsodomancy, divination based on special interpretations of Suras; → Fahd فهد , Divination, pp. 214-216; id., art. Kur'a ( in: EI2 ) , no. II,1. We do not know, which procedure is used in the Qur'a-texts ascribed to Ja'far al-Sadiq; according to Fahd ( pp. 216f. ) the Qur'a Ma'muniya قرعة مأمونية , the Qur'a Jawhariya قرعة جوهرية and the Qur'at huruf al-mu'jam قرعة حروف المعجم use letters and numbers. Our text follows a different pattern: the qur’a described in it and entitled Qur'a fi ilm al-raml is in fact a combination of rhapsodomancy ( qur'a ) and ilm al-raml ( geomancy ) : the arrangement of little stones or kernels thrown on the ground determines the choice of the Sura and the divination based on it. This is fixed in a table on fol. 2r of our text; this table, of which Ruska, Arabische Alchemisten II 28f. note 4 gives an idea, is a graphical description of 16 different kinds of arrangements resulting from the throwing of little stones or kernels. On ilm al-raml → Fahd, Divination, pp. 196ff.; Ahlwardt III p. 544; Savage-Smith esp. pp. 11ff. ( on the geomantic figures ) ; Robert Jaulin, Géomancie et Islam, Paris 1991. The above-mentioned kinds of arrangements determines the division of our text into 16 chapters; it can also be found in an anonymous treatise on ilm al-raml in Ms. Gotha 73/8 ( text is different ) . Our text combined this kind of ilm al-raml with augury from the Suras, with rhapsodomancy ( qur'a ) . This combination can also be found in Ms. Berlin 4204 ( copied A.D. 1850 ) , a titleless text which in its beginning mentions a Risala رسالةby Abu Hamid al-Ghazzali أبو حامد الغزالي on the study ( ittila' اطلاع) of "qur'at al-ramlقرعة الرمل ".
A closer comparison of the Berlin Ms. with our text leads to a surprising result: after the first four lines the Berlin Ms. has almost the same text ( with some omissions ) as our Ms. after the first 5 lines; it contains the same table consisting of 16 fields and gives the same interpretation of names and figures contained in the table: → the description of Ms. Berlin 4201 ( a titleless treatise on ilm al-raml ascribed to a man called Ibrahim Ibn Sha'ban Ibn Nafi' al-Salihi إبراهيم بن شعبان بن نافع الصالحي) , fols. 77r-108v, which, according to Ahlwardt's description of Ms. Berlin 4204, contains the same figures and the same interpretation. Our text appears to be almost completely identical with Ms. Berlin 4204, as is evident from the beginning of the interpretation of the first figure ( Ms. Berlin 4204, fol. 1v = our Ms., fol. 2r ) . The end of the Berlin Ms. differs, because the sequel of the described figures is slightly different: our text ends with the chapter on shakl al-jama'a شكل الجماعةwhich in the Berlin Ms. precedes the chapters on al-qabd al-dakhilالقبض الداخل ; the end of the Berlin Ms. can be found on fol. 11v3 of our text.

As regards beginning and end, our Ms. is identical with Ms. Berlin 2659; its end differs from Berlin 2658, however.

A commented English translation of Abu Hanifa, al-Fiqh al-akbar ( I ) can be found in A.J. Wensinck, The Muslim Creed ( London 1965 ) , pp. 103ff.; compare now the analysis by J. van Ess, Kritisches zum Fiqh Akbar, in: Revue des Études islamiques 54, 1986 ( Paris 1988 ) , pp. 327-338 and id., Theologie und Gesellschaft im 2. und 3. Jahrhundert Hidschra. I. Berlin, New York 1991, pp. 207-211. The commentary is in some mss. and in the edition, which appeared in Hyderabad 1321/1903 ( 2nd edition 1367/1948, pp. 2-28 ) , ascribed to Abu Mansur al-Maturidi أبو منصور الماتريدي ( died 333/944 ) . In fact it is written by Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi ( died 373/983 or later ) : see the new edition with commentary by H. Daiber, The Islamic Concept of Belief in the 4th/10th Century.

Ms. 142.

266 folios; 15×20,5 cm and 12×20,2 cm ( fols. 250-255 ) ; 15-21 lines; naskhi and nasta'liq, different hands. Single words are written in red ink or overlined in red. The text of fols. 153r-161v is written within a red frame. The paper is in some cases yellowish-brown and green. Pasteboard with red leather spine and flap; binding damaged. Owner's stamp on fols. 1r and 8r and owner's remarks dated 1272/1855 and 1285/1868.

[2369] fol. 2r: A note on cupping ( hijama حجامة ) , with excerpts mainly from Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandiأبو الليث السمرقندي .

[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." In the margin are many notes.

[2374] fols. 81v-82r: A short commentary on quotations from the Koran which stress God's oneness and almightiness, in Turkish.

On the creed ( written in red ink ) and its author al-Ushi ( wrote ca. 569/1173 ) and on this still unedited commentary → GAL I 429 I/1 and S I 764 I/1.

However, compare mss. Berlin 2409 and 2410.

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.

[2390] fols. 2v-6r: Qissat jald Zayd Ibn Amir al-mu'minin Umar Ibn al-Khattab wa-ma waqa'a lahu ma'a walidihi قصة جلد زيد ابن أمير المؤمنين عمر بن الخطاب وما وقع له مع والده .

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. Dissertationes in Academia Ultrajectina prolatae anno MCMXC. Selegit et edidit F. de Jong. Leuven 1993 ( = Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta 52 ) , pp. 135-142.

Beginning ( after the Basmala ) :
‏‏ الحمد لله ربّ العالمين وصلى الله وسلم على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين ، وبعد فهذا كتاب العظمة مما أنزله الله تعالى على آدم عليه السلام في نمط من الحرير ‏الأبيض مكتوب فيه العلم المنزل على قلب نبيه المرسل ...‏

End:

fol. 34r: An enumeration of the titles of texts found on fols. 2-57v, including the preceding two texts. This proves that fols. 34-57v originally preceded fols. 2-33.

[2392] fols. 34v-38r: al-Qari' al-Herewi القارئ الهروي : al-Fasl ( Ms.: al-Fadl ) al-mu'awwal fi al-saff al-awwal الفصل (م : الفضل) المعول في الصف الأول .

An interpretation of Sura 37, 1 and an explanation why those who pray in the first row must be preferred. On the author ( died 1014/1605 ) and on further mss. of this unedited text → GAL II 396 no. 45 and S II 540 no. 45.

[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).

[2398] fols. 27r-32v: al-Birgili ( al-Birkawi ) البرگلي (البركوي)‏ : Iqaz al-na'imin إيقاظ النائمين .

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 ) .

Ms. 145.

171 folios; 13×19 cm ( fols.1-48 ) ; 12,8×18,7 cm ( fols. 49-141 ) ; 13×18,6 cm ( fols. 142-171 ) ; 15, 13 and 17 lines; naskhi ( 3 different hands ) .

[2402] On fols. 41r-v follows a fragment from a commented work on traditions. At the end the copyist adds "Ibn Malak lil-Mashariq ابن ملك للمشارق " = perhaps al-Saghani الصاغاني ( 650/1252 ) , Mashariq al-anwar al-nabawiya min sihah al-akhbar al-Mustafawiya مشارق الأنوار النبوية من صحاح الأخبار المصطفوية , with commentary by Ibn Malakshah ابن ملك شاه ( ca. 800/1397 ) , Mabariq al-azhar مبارق الأزهار ; → GAL I 361c and S I 612 c.

[2403] fols. 42r-48r: al-Sanusi السنوسي : Umm al-barahin = Aqidat ahl al-tawhid al-sughra أم البراهين = عقيدة أهل التوحيد الصغرى .

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.

[2404] fols. 49r-141r: Husam al-Din Umar Ibn Abd al-aziz Ibn Maza al-Sadr al-Shahid al-Bukhari حسام الدين عمر بن عبد العزيز بن مازة الصدر الشهيد البخاري : Kitab al-Nuqaya ( al-sughra ) fi ilm al-hidaya = Nuqayat Qadikhan = Kitab Umdat al-fatawa = Umdat al-mufti wa-al-mustafti ( ? ) = al-Umda كتاب النقاية (الصغرى) في علم الهداية = نقاية قاضي خان = كتاب عمدة الفتاوى = عمدة المفتي والمستفتي (؟) = العمدة . .

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 ).

[2405] fols. 142v-171v: Muhammad Ibn Amr Ibn Ibrahim al-Ballali ( = al-Mallali ) al-Tilimsani محمد بن إبراهيم البلالي (=الملالي) التلمساني : Fath al-mubin فتح المبين , a commentary on al-Sanusi السنوسي , Umm al-barahin أم البراهين .
On al-Tilimsani ( wrote ca. 1000/1591 ) and on more mss. of this still unedited commentary on Sanusi's Creed → GAL II 251 ( I 2 ) and S II 354 ( I 2 ) . On al-Sanusi's Creed → above fols. 42r-48r.

Ms. 146.

92 folios; 16,5×21,2 cm; 11-15 lines; regular naskhi, different hands. Single words are written in red ink. Brownish paper, in part water-stained and repaired ( some loss of text on fol. 34r ) . 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.

The text is perhaps not written by Ibn Arabi ابن عربي ( died 638/1240 ) ; → below the description of fols. 12v-15v, which contain a different and longer text with the same title.

Beginning:

[2427] fol. 10v4-13: al-Qashani القاشاني : Tafsir تفسير , a fragment.

On Abd al-Razzaq al-Qashani ( al-Kashani ) ‏ عبد الرزاق القاشاني (الكاشاني)‏ , who died in 730/1330, and on his mystical commentary on the Koran, entitled Ta'wilat al-Qur'an ‏ تأويلات القرآن‏ , → GAL II 204; S II 280. The commentary is wrongly (→ Yahya, Histoire II 483f.) ascribed to Ibn Arabi ‏ ابن عربي‏ (published in two volumes in Beirut 1968: Ibn Arabi, Tafsir al-Qur'an al-karim ‏ تفسير القرآن الكريم‏).
Our fragment decribes the attributes of the soul (nafs نفس ‏); compare the commentary on Sura 12 (ed. Beirut I 588ff.).

[2428] fols. 10v13-11r4: A fragment from a work by Jalal al-Din al-Rumi جلال الدين الرومي , in Persian.

The Ms. does not mention an author; the text is written either by Ibn Arabi ابن عربي ( died 638/1240 ) or by Awhad al-Din Abd Allah Ibn Mas'ud al-Balbani أوحد الدين عبد الله بن مسعود البلباني ( died 686/1287 ) and is also entitled Risala fi al-ahadiyaرسالة في الأحدية ; → Yahya, Histoire I, pp. 145f. no. 13; compare Daiber, Mu'ammar, p. 366 and on the history of the formula Alexander Altmann, The Delphic Maxim in Medieval Islam and Judaism, in: Biblical and Other Studies, ed. by A. Altmann, Cambridge, Mass. 1963, pp. 196-232.
The text on fols. 10r-v with the same title and ascribed to Ibn Arabi is different and much shorter. The mss. listed in Yahya apparently contain the longer text. A comparison of all mss. may shed new light on the still unsolved problems of authorship.

Beginning ( after the Basmala ) :
‏ الحمد لله الذي لم يكن قبل وحدانيته قبل الا والقبل هو ولم يكن بعد فردانيته بعد الا والبعد هو كان ولا بعد معه ولا قبل ولا فوق ... ولهذا قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : من ‏عرف نفسه فقد عرف ربه وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم عرفت ربي بربي أشار النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بذلك أنك ...‏

[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.

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 ) .

[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.

On the author ( died 816/1414 ) and his poetical work → GAL S II 8; Kahhale I 89. Our text may be a section of the collections of poems of which several mss. are preserved: → besides Brockelmann ( GAL ) also Mingana 1794 ( 520 ) and 1795 ( 1366 ) ; Princeton 4176 and 4261 ( fols. 92r-93; 139r-142r ) . The first qasida قصيدة ( metre: basit بسيط) in praise of the Prophet Muhammad ( fols. 11v-12v ) is identical with Ms. Berlin 7888, fols. 36v-39r.
On fols. 14r-v follow some notes which begin with an excerpt from al-Subki السبكي , Arus al-afrah عروس الأفراح ( title not mentioned in GAL ).

[2458] fols. 14v-16v: Burhan al-Din Ibrahim al-Abnasi برهان الدين إبراهيم الأبناسي : al-Ajwiba al-Abnasiya an al-as'ila al-Yafi'iya الأجوبة الأبناسية عن الأسئلة اليافعية .

A second Ms. of this rare text, 10 riddles by Abd Allah Ibn As'ad Ibn Ali al-Yafi'i عبد الله بن أسعد بن علي اليافعي ( died 768/1367 ) and the answers by his pupil al-Abnasi, is in the British Museum ( Suppl. 1205, 1 ) ; → GAL S II 228 no. 22. On al-Abnasi ( 725/1305-802/1399 ) → Kahhale I 117.

Beginning ( after the Basmala ) :
أحمد الله على نعم لا تحصى وآلاء لا يستقصى وأشكر على ما أولى وأسأله اللطف في الآخرة...

Ms. 151.

65 folios; 15,5×21,5 cm ( fols. 1-29v ) and 16,5×21,5 cm; 19 lines ( fols. 1-29v ) and 17-25 lines; naskhi by three different hands, single words are written in red ink or overlined in black; drawings and tables on fols. 30r, 32v, 33v, 36r, 37v, 39r-v, 41r, 51v-53r, 54r, 55r-65r. Two folios are inserted between fols. 41 and 42. The paper is slightly damaged and damp-stained. Pasteboard binding, damaged; spine repaired. The first 29 folios were copied by Ilyas Ibn Muhammad al-Irbili in the year 1238/1822-23; the other parts of the mss. seem to have been copied at a similar time.

[2459] fols. 1r-29v: Qara Da'ud: Hashiya ala al-Sayyid al-Sharif al-Jurjani, al-Kuchak قره داوود : حاشية على السيد الشريف لجرجاني ، الكوچك.

Glosses by Qara Da'ud on al-Jurjani ( died 816/1413 ) , al-Kuchak. This work by al-Jurjani contain glosses on Muhammad Ibn Qutb al-Din al-Razi al-Tahtani محمد بن قطب الدين الرازي التحتاني ( died 766/1364 ) , Tahrir al-qawa'id al-mantiqiya ( = al-Qutbi ) تحرير القواعد المنطقية ( = القطبي), a commentary on part I ( al-Tasawwuratالتصورات ) from Najm al-Din Ali Ibn Umar al-Qazwini al-Katibi نجم الدين علي بن عمر القزويني الكاتبي ( died 675/1276 or later ) , al-Risala al-Shamsiya fi al-qawa'id al-mantiqiyaالرسالة الشمسية في القواعد المنطقية.
On more mss. and two old printings ( Calcutta 1230/1815; Cairo 1323-7/1905-9 ) of this text on logic → GAL I 466 no. I 1, a, a; S I 845 no. I 1, a, a.
The colophon of the Ms. ascribes the glosses to Ibn Nasr ( ? ) Da'ud al-Khawafi ‏ ابن نصر (؟) داوود الخوافي‏ .A comparison of our text with Ms. Berlin 5262 enables us to identify the author as Qara Da'ud who, according to Ahlwardt ( description of Ms. Berlin 5262 ) , wrote about 810/1407 and was a pupil of Sa'd al-Din al-Taftazani سعد الدين التفتزاني ( died 791/1389 or later ). Ahlwardt denies any identity with Da'ud Ibn Kamal al-Qujawi داوود بن كمال القوجوي ( died 948/1541 ) . Such an identification can be found in Brockelmann ( GAL ) ; it seems to be doubtful. Perhaps the author should be identified as Muhammad Ibn Shihab al-Din Ibn Mahmud Ibn Muhammad Ibn Yusuf Ibn al-Hasan al-Khawafi محمد بن شهاب الدين بن محمود بن محمد بن يوسف بن الحسن الخوافي ( 777-852/1375-1449: → Kahhale X 73 ) who is said to have written a book on logic and glosses on "Adudعضد " = al-Risala al-Adudiya الرسالة العضدية = Adud al-Din al-Iji's Risala fi adab al-bahth رسالة في آداب البحث or his Risala al-wad'iya الرسالة الوضعية .
Our Ms. is incomplete at the beginning; the colophon differs slightly from that in Ms. Berlin 5262.

The Ms. is incomplete at the beginning and has a lacuna between fols. 33 and 34. It starts in the first chapter ( fols. 30r-33v ) and fol. 34r continues in the middle of chapter 2 ( → Ms. Berlin 5998 ) .

On this still unedited compendium of Euclid's geometry, its author ( still alive 700/1300 ) and the commentary by Qadizade ( died 815/1412 ) → GAL I 468 no. III and S I 850 no. III; on Qadizade → GAL I 212.
The text is incomplete at the end, as a comparison with Ms. Berlin 5943 shows. In the margin are many geometrical drawings and a few glosses.

Ms. 152.

42 folios; 12,7×19,9 cm; 17-27 lines; naskhi; three different hands. Spotted and water-stained paper. Copied during 1200/1785-6 ( fols. 20r, 21r, 22r, 24v ) and 1179/1765-6 ( fol. 42r; copyist: Mustafa Abd Allah ) in the Madrasat Kuluk [= apparently the Turkish town Kölük between Urfa and Malatya] ( 20r,7; 24v ) .

[2462] fols. 1v-19v: Anonymous ( = perhaps Abd al-Haqq Miskin Ibn Sayf al-Din Ibn Sa'd Allah al-Dihlawi عبد الحق مسكين بن سيف الدين بن سعد الله الدهلوي) : al-Farqiyat الفرقيات .

The author of this lexicographical treatise on selected terms in alphabetical sequence with special regard to differences in meaning compared with "synonyms" cannot be identified. He quotes quite a lot of older authorities like Akhfash أخفش , Kisa'i كسائي , al-Farra' الفراء , Jawhari جوهري , Sibawayh سيبويه , Ibn al-Sikkit ابن السكيت , Zamkhshari زمخشري etc., but also later works on ta'rifat تعريفات ( e.g. by Jurjani جرجاني ) and works on theology. Several times the author mentions as source Dede Khalifa ( died 966/1558; Kahhale I 125 ) . This is not the latest authority, however; a terminus post quem is a quotation from Khalkhali's خلخالي glosses to Dawwani دواني ( died 907/1501; → GAL S II 209 no. VII 1a ) . Khalkhali died 1014/1605, and as the Ms. was copied in the 2nd half of the 18th century our text apparently was composed before or during the 2nd half of the 12th/18th century. Bio-bibliographical sources mention two authors who wrote on furuq فروق in the 18th century:
1 ) Abu al-Fida' Isma'il Haqqi al-Brusawi أبو الفداء إسماعيل حقي البروسوي ( died 1137/1724 ) ; his Kitab al-Furuq كتاب الفروق is printed in Istanbul 1251/1835 ( → GAL S II 653 no. 9 ) and preserved in two mss. in Princeton ( → Princeton 3775 ) .
2 ) Ni'mat Allah al-Jaza'iri نعمة الله الجزائري ( died 1130/1718 or 1121/1700 ) wrote a treatise on Furuq al-lugha فروق اللغة ( → GAL S II 586; not mentioned in Kahhale XIII 110! ) . A new edition ( Furuq al-lughat ) appeared 1380/1961 in Najaf ( ed. Asad Allah al-Isma'iliyan أسد الله الإسماعيليان ) and 1987 in Damascus ( ed. Muhammad Radwan al-Daya محمد رضوان الداية ) . A comparison with this edition and with the quotations in Khwansari خوانساري , Rawdat al-jannat fi ahwal al-ulama' wa-al-sadat روضات الجنات في أحوال العلماء والسادات VIII ( Beirut 1390/1970 ) , 53,9-11 confirms that our text is not written by al-Jaza'iri.
The authorship of the above mentioned Haqqi Brusawi is doubtful too:
a ) our text gives Persian equivalents several times;
b ) a passage on fol. 14v2, namely wa-dhakara m ( = al-musannif, the author of our text ) fi sharhihi lil-Masabih anna al-qadara tafsil qada'ihi... وذكر م (المصنف) في شرحه للمصابيح أن القدرة تفصيل قضائه...hints at an author among the numerous commentators on al-Baghawi البغوي ( died 516/1122 or later ) , Kitab Masabih al-sunna كتاب مصابيح السنة. In the list of commentators given by Brockelmann ( GAL I 364; S I 620-622 ) we find Abd al-Haqq Miskin Ibn Sayf al-Din Ibn Sa'd Allah al-Dihlawi ( died 1052/1642 ) as Persian translator and commentator of the Masabih مصابيح , entitled Lama'at al-tanqih لمعات التنقيح or Ashi''at al-lama'at أشعة اللمعات ( GAL I 364 I end; S I 621f.; Kahhale V 91 ) . al-Dihlawi is also known as commentator on al-Sakhawi السخاوي ( died 634/1243 ) , Sifr al-sa'ada wa-safir al-ifada fi al-lugha سفر السعادة وسفير الإفادة في اللغة , as commentary on Zamakhshari's grammar al-Mufassal المفصل ( GAL I 291 no. 4a; S I 510 no. 4a ) .
Therefore, we may assume that al-Dihlawi is author of the Farqiyat. This text belongs to the very few treatises on furuq al-lugha فروق اللغة . Two older examples are: Abu Hilal al-Askari أبو هلال العسكري ( died 395/1005; → GAL S I 193f. ) , al-Furuq al-lughawiya الفروق اللغوية ( ed. Husam al-Din al-Qudsi حسام الدين القدسي , Cairo 1353/1934-5 ) ; and Abu al-Hasan Sa'id Ibn Hibat Allah Ibn al-Hasan أبو الحسن سعيد بن هبة الله بن الحسن ( 436/1044-495/1101 ) , Maqala fi dhikr al-furuq wa-al-hudud مقالة في ذكر الفروق والحدود‏ which is still unedited ( on two mss. → GAL I 486 no. 3; S I 888 no. 6; a 3rd Ms. is Academia das Ciencias de Lisboa V.292, fols. 1v-32r ) .

Beginning ( after the Basmala ) :
‏ وبه نستعين ، الفرق بين الآل والأهل : الآل لا يستعمل إلا في الاشراق والأهل يستعمل في الاشراق وغيره ، كذا في المصلوب ، الفرق بين الآل والاصحاب ...‏
End:
والثاني أشدّ من الأول لاحتياج الاكساب بينهما قطعا بخلاف الأول ، تمت الفرقيات بعون الله الملك الوهاب ،

On fol. 11r, 16 the bab al-ta' باب الطاء is missing; it is added on fols. 27r-v.

[2463] fols. 19v-20r7: Anonymous ( = al-Dihlawi? الدهلوي ؟ ) : Risala fi huruf al-ta'rif رسالة في حروف التعريف .‏

A grammatical treatise on the four meanings of the determinating letters. As the author refers to some texts which are also quoted in the preceding treatise, it may hve been written by the same scholar. ‏

Beginning ( after the Basmala ) : ‏
‏‏ الحمد لمن عرف بجهولنا والصلوة على سيدنا والمشفع ذنوبنا ، وبعد فقد لاح لنا بعد تتبع كلام العلماء المهرة واستقصاء تحقيقات ...‏
End:
‏ ... وللمؤمنين يوم يقوم الحساب ، تمت هذه الرسالة في مدرسة كولوك سنة ١٢٠٠ ، ‏

[2464] fols. 20r8-20v: Anonymous: A short grammatical treatise, in Turkish.

[2465] fols. 20v-21r: Anonymous ( perhaps Abu Sa'id Muhammad Ibn Mustafa al-Khadimi أبو سعيد محمد بن مصطفى الخادمي ) : A titleless treatise on the smoking of tobacco ( perhaps: Risalat al-Dukhan رسالة الدخان ) .

Beginning ( after the Basmala ) :
‏ الحمد لوليه والصلوة على نبيه وآله ، وبعد فأمر الدخان كثر فيه الفتاوى ...‏
End:
‏‏ ثم كتبت كتابي بالقلم العلل ثم بعد الزمان يكون من الدلائل إلى توفيق الرحمن ذي الجلال سنة ١٢٠٠ ،‏

The beginning of the text is nearly identical with three mss. in Princeton ( no. 2087 ) where it is ascribed to Abu Sa'id Muhammad Ibn Mustafa al-Khadimi أبو سعيد محمد بن مصطفى الخادمي ( died 1176/1762; → GAL II 446; S II 663f. ) . Bursali I 298 no. 21 mentions among the works by al-Khadimi a treatise entitled Risalat al-dukhan. This may have been the title of our text.

[2466] fols. 21r-22r: Anonymous: Kitab al-Hisab كتاب الحساب .

Further mss. of this short introduction to arithmetic are Mingana no. 1900 and Princeton 4844. The title can be found in the Princeton Ms.

On the author ( wrote around 888/1483 ) and this treatise about the metaphor → description of text no. [2192].
The Ms. has neither title nor author. A modern hand added the wrong identification "al-Farida ala Isam الفريدة على عصام ". fols. 25-26 are blank; fols. 27r-v is a supplement to the text on fols. 1v-19v and should be inserted on fol. 11r,16.

[2468] fols. 28v-42r: Athir al-Din al-Abhari أثير الدين الأبهري : Kitab al-Isaghuji = al-Risala al-Athiriya fi al-mantiq كتاب الإيساغو جي = الرسالة الأثيرية في المنطق , with anonymous Turkish commentary.

Appendix:

An Old Manuscript of the Druze Canon.

Ms. 153.

153 folios; 14,5×10 cm; 11-13 lines; partly vocalized and carefully written naskhi. Single words and partly the chapter-headings are written in red ink. Moreover, the chapter-headings are written with great letters. Fols. 1-41 and 152 are copied by a different ( perhaps slightly later ) hand and on paper which differs from the rest: it is less thick and is not as smooth as fols. 42-151. Chapter-headings of this section are rendered in red, black or green ink. - In the margin are sometimes a few commenting or supplementing notes.
Brownish and dirty paper, partly damaged and badly repaired: therefore, some loss of text ( a few words ) on fols. 46v, 87r-v, 96r-97v. The beginning of the >Ms. is missing. Original leather binding ( partly damaged and repaired ) with a few geometrical ornaments.
The Ms. is undated; paper and ink point at a very old age. It seems to be copied in the 8/14th or 9/15th century and therefore is one of the oldest Druze manuscripts. Like Ms. 64 it contains a collection of mostly unpublished texts belonging to the Druze Canon.

[2469] fols. 1r-5v: Anonymous: al-Risala al-damigha lil-fasiq. al-Radd ala al-Nusayri la'anahu al-Mawla fi kulli kawrin wa-dawrin الرسالة الدامغة للفاسق. الرد على النصيري لعنه المولى في كل كور ودور .

The beginning and the title of the text are missing. Compare, however, Ms. Berlin 4325. The text is a refutation of a Nusayri and his Kitab al-Haqa'iq wa-kashf al-mahjub كتاب الحقائق وكشف المحجوب.On the authorship compare Wehr, Zu den Schriften Hamza's im Drusenkanon, ZDMG 96, 1942, p. 205.
