Ms.1.
250 folios; 21×15,5 cm; up to 27 lines; Turkish handwriting, sometimes without
diacritical points; paper occasionally damp-stained. Text fol.1v-28v and
fol.39v-62v within gold frame. Modern half-leather binding. Copied in 1120/1708
(145r); 1170/1756 (250r); 1191/1777 (28v); 1192/1778 (62r; 87v); 1193/1779
(37v); 1197/1782 (29r).
[1001] fol.1r: Contents of the ms. (titles of fol.91v and
137v are missing in the ms.). Owner's mark: al-Sayyid Muhammad Ibn al-Sayyid
Hajji Mustafa (?) and the year 1228/1813; on the left stamp "al-Hajji Khalil
1188 (1774)".
[1002] fol.1v-28v: Abu Sa'id Muhammad al-Khadimi أبو سعيد
محمد الخادمي : Khaza'in al-jawahir wa-mahasin al-zawahir خزائن الجواهر ومحاسن
الزواهر .
On the author (died after 1176/1762) and this mystical interpretation of the
Basmala البسملة see GAL II 351 nr.2 and S II 664 nr.2. - Fol.28v and the
contents of fol.1r mention al-Basmala as title. The text may therefore be
identical with the Risalat al-Basmala رسالة البسملة (nr.4 in GAL) which has been
printed in Istanbul 1261/1845.
Between fol.21v and 22r two smaller folios are inserted; one of them contains a
fragment from al-Khadimi, Sharh al-tariqa شرح الطريقة (s. the text on
fol.29v-30r).
[1003] fol.29r: Ahmad Ibn Sulayman Ibn Kamal أحمد بن سليمان
بن كمال : Shaykh Akbar Muhi al-Din Arabi شيخ أكبر محيي الدين عربي .
A short enumeration of some works of Ibn al-Arabi ابن العربي (died 638/1240);
cf. the list of OSMAN YAHYA, Histoire et classification de l'oeuvre d'Ibn Arabi,
I-II, Damas 1964.
The author of this enumeration is Ahmad Ibn Sulayman Ibn Kamal Pasha (died
940/1533); see GAL II 449; S II 668.
[1004] fol.29v-30r: A definition of philosophy and logic
(no title).
The latest source mentioned (fol.29v10 is Sharh fiqh al-akbar شرح فقه الأكبر by
Ali al-Qari al-Herewi علي القاري الهروي (died 1014/1605; see GAL II 394; S II
539). In the margin is added Tariqa Muhammadiya, Sharh Khadimi طريقة محمدية، شرح
خادمي . Thus the fragment may be derived from the commentary on
al-Birkawi/al-Birgili البركوي / البرگلي (died 981/1573; cf. GAL II 441 nr.15; S
II 655 nr.15), al-Tariqa al-Muhammadiya الطريقة المحمدية , by al-Khadimi الخادمي
(died 1176/1762; see above). This commentary is normally called al-Bariqa
al-Mahmudiya البريقة المحمودية (see GAL S II 655 nr.15f.).

on the nine categories (maqulat مقولات ); no title.
[1006] fol.30v: A short note on the art of disputation

Risalat qiyas muta'arif wa-ghayr muta'arif رسالة قياس متعارف وغير متعارف .
A commentary on a logical treatise. The author of the commentary is mentioned
31v3 and according to 31v19 was a pupil of Abu Sa'id al-Khadimi أبو سعيد الخادمي
(died 1176/1762; see above 1v).
[1009] fol.39v-62v: Isam al-Din Ibrahim Ibn Muhammad Ibn
Arabshah al-Isfara'ini عصام الدين إبراهيم بن محمد بن عرب شاه الإسفرائني : Sharh
al-isti'arat al-Samarqandiya شرح الاستعارات السمرقندية .
A commentary by Isam al-Din (died 944/1537; see GAL II 410; S II 571) on Abu
al-Qasim Ibn Abi Bakr al-Laythi al-Samarqandi أبو القاسم بن أبي بكر الليثي
السمرقندي , Fara'id al-fawa'id li-tahqiq ma'ani al-isti'ara = al-Risala
al-Samarqandiya فرائد الفوائد لتحقيق معاني الاستعارة = الرسالة السمرقندية (cp.
GAL II 194; S II 259).
The title of this treatise on the metaphor is not mentioned in the ms.; cp.
however ms. Berlin 7299. - The commented text is overlined in red. - In the
margin are notes by Zayn al-Din زين الدين (fol.41r); Shaykhzadeh شيخ زاده (41v);
al-Sayyid Abd Allah السيد عبد الله (43r; 45r; 47v); al-Sayyid al-Sharif السيد

[1010] fol.39v-62r: In the margin of the above-mentioned
text and separate from the notes: Abu Nafi' Ahmad Ibn Muhammad al-Qazabadi (or
Isma'il Ibn Muhammad al-Qazabadi, see fol.62r) (أبو نافع أحمد بن محمد القازابادي
(أو إسماعيل بن محمد القازابادي : Sharh ala al-farida شرح على الفريدة .
A commentary on the above-mentioned al-Risala al-Samarqandiya الرسالة السمرقندية
. On this still unedited text see GAL S II 260 nr.10 (2 mss.), where the author
is called "Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn al-Nafi' al-Qazabadi أحمد بن محمد بن النافع
القازابادي ". - The commented text is overlined in red or written in red ink. -
The texts of Isam al-Din and al-Qazabadi are separated from each other by gold
or red lines.
[1011] fol.65v-87v: Hasan (Ibn Muhammad) al-Zibari
(al-Kurdi) حسن (بن محمد) الزيباري (الكردي) : Hawashin ala al-sharh al-mansub ila
Isam al-Din Ibrahim.. ala risalat al-isiti'arat lil-Mawla... Abi al-Qasim
al-Laythi al-Samarqandi حواش على الشرح المنسوب إلى عصام الدين إبراهيم .. على
رسالة الاستعارات للمولى ... أبي القاسم الليثي السمرقندي .
On fol. 25r the title is abbreviated as Hashiyat Isam ala l-isti'ara حاشية عصام
على الاستعارة . The full name of the author who wrote around 1040/1630 can be
found in ms. Berlin 7304.
The text is a supercommentary on the commentary by Isam al-Din عصام الدين on
al-Risala al-Samarqandiya الرسالة السمرقندية (see above fol.39v); cf. GAL II
194, I 1c; S II 259, I 1c.
The text of the Risala al-Samarqandiya is written in red ink; the commentary of
Isam al-Din is overlined in red and in the margin the copyist has added a few
notes.
BROCKELMANN (GAL II 194 I 7 and S II 260 I 7) mentions al-Zibari once more as
the author of a commentary on al-Risala al-Samarqandiya. In view of the fact
that our text, which is identical with mss. Berlin 7304 and Gotha 2803, is a
complete commentary, it seems unlikely to separate with BROCKELMANN between the
commentary and the "notes" of al-Zibari. Accordingly, the authorship of the text
in ms. Gotha 2807 (mentioned in GAL II 194 I 7) is not quite clear.
[1012] fol.91v-132v: Isam al-Din Ibrahim Ibn Muhammad Ibn
Arabshah al-Isfara'ini عصام الدين إبراهيم بن محمد بن عرب شاه الإسفرائني : Sharh
ala al-risala al-wad'iya شرح على الرسالة الوضعية (by Adud al-Din al-Iji عضد
الدين الإيجي ).
A commenary by Isam al-Din (died 994-1537) on al-Iji's (died 756/1355) semantic
treatise on the term wad', called al-Risala al-wad'iya, with notes by Abd Allah
al-Kurdi عبد الله الكردي . Further mss. of this still unedited commentary see
GAL II 208, nr.5 and S II 289, nr.5. On al-Iji's treatise cf. B. WEISS, A Theory
of the Parts of Speech in Arabic, Arabica 23, 1976, 23-36, esp. 24ff.
Contrary to ms. Berlin 5315 our ms. has added an introduction on fol.91v-92r3.
The text of al-Iji is written in red ink. Our text is incomplete and ends on
fol.132v with the commentary on yata'ayyanu bi-ma huwa ma'nan fi-hi يتعين بما هو
معنى فيه .
[1013] fol.137v-142v: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي

ذخر المتأهلين والنساء في تعريف الإطهار والدماء .
About the purity and impurity of women, with many glosses on the margin
(esp.141v-142v). On the author (died 981/1573) and further mss. of this still
unedited text see GAL II 441 nr.11 and S II 655 nr.11. - Acccording to the
colophon (142v; cf. also ms. Berlin 4671) the treatise was composed by the
author in 979/1572.
[1014] fol.143r-145r: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي
(البرگلي) : Iqaz al-na'imin إيقاظ النائمين .
About the blameworthiness of being pious only for the sake of success and
reward. The treatise was composed in 972/1564 (s. fol.145r). According to Hajji
Khalifa (Kashf al-zunun, listed under the title) the text is a reaction to Abu
al-Su'ud al-Imadi's أبو السعود العمادي (died 982/1574; see GAL II 439; S II 651)
refutatoin of Birkawi's Inqadh al-halikin إنقاذ الهالكين (cf. GAL II 440 nr.1; S
II 654 nr.1 and the following text in our ms.).
In the margin are many glosses. For further mss. of this still unedited text cf.
GAL II 441 nr.16 and S II 656 nr.16.
[1015] fol.146v-148v: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي
(البرگلي) : Inqadh al-halikin إنقاذ الهالكين .
About the question whether one is allowed to receive money for the recitation of
the Koran or not. Further mss. of this still unedited text are mentioned in GAL
II 440 nr.1 and S II 654 nr.1. - Cf. also the preceding text, fol.143r-145r.
A few glosses can be found in the margin of the text which is not complete at
the end (ends with al-mabhath al-thani: fi haqiqat al-riya' المبحث الثاني : في
حقيقة الرياء ).
The following six folios are blank.
[1016] fol.155v-188r: Molla Khosraw (Muhammad Ibn Faramurz
Ibn Ali) ملا خسرو (محمد بن فرامرز بن علي) : Mir'at al-usul fi sharh mirqat

A commentary by Molla Khosraw (died 885/1480) on his Mirqat al-wusul (printed;
see GAL II 227 nr.2; S II 317 nr.2). In the margin notes can be found from the
following scholars: Ahmad al-Rumi أحمد الرومي (161v-163r and 179v; identical
with Khosraw al-Rumi خسرو الرومي who is mentioned GAL S II 317 nr.2d?); Ibn
Malak ابن ملك , Sharh manar al-anwar wa-jami' al-asrar شرح منار الأنوار وجامع
الأسرار (163r; 182v) = perhaps Ibn al-Malak Abd al-Latif Ibn Abd al-Aziz ابن
الملك عبد اللطيف بن عبد العزيز (died 797/1395; GAL S II 315) who is mentioned in
GAL S II 315 nr.4 as author of Sharh manar al-anwar (cp. also Bursali Mehemmed
Tahir, Osmanli Mü'ellifleri, Istanbul 1334/1915-1343/1924 (repr.1971), I 219,
-7ff.); anonymous, Miftah al-usul مفتاح الأصول (168r) = perhaps anon., Miftah
al-husul li-Mir'at al-usul مفتاح الحصول لمرآة الأصول as mentioned in GAL S II
317 nr. 2k; Mufti Tarasusi مفتي طرسوسي (169v; printed: see GAL S II 317
nr.2b.c); Hasan Chelebi حسن چلبي (162r; 182v) = Hasan Chelebi Ibn Muhammad Shah
Ibn al-Fanari حسن چلبي بن محمد شاه بن الفناري , who died 886/1481 (see GAL S II
321f.); anon., Talwih تلويح (182v); anon., Tahrir تحرير (160v). The text is
incomplete at the end.
[1017] fol.194r-250r: Sachaqlizade al-Mar'ashi ساچقلي زاده
المرعشي : Taqrir al-qawanin al-mutadawala min ilm al-munazara تقرير القوانين
المتداولة من علم المناظرة .
About logic and the art of disputation, composed in 1117/1705. On the author and
the mss. of this still unedited text see GAL II 370 nr.6; S II 498 nr.6. -
Fol.200 is blank; as a comparison with ms. Berlin 5333 shows, some text from the
end of the introducton to the end of the first maqam مقام = al-ta'rifat
التعريفات is missing.
Ms.2.
89 folios; 21×15,5 cm; 17-18 lines; Turkish handwriting, unvocalized. Paper
sometimes with water stains. Modern half-leather binding. Hand of the end of the
12th/18th century.
[1018] fol.1v-60v: Muhammad Ibn Abi Bakr محمد بن أبي بكر :
Arba'un hadithan fi al-afw wa-al-ghufran = Kitab Usfuri أربعون حديثا في العفو
والغفران = كتاب عصفوري .
A few glosses are added in the margin. The same text can be found without
introduction in ms. Berlin 1545 which ends on fol.60r1 of our ms. The Berlin ms.
has neither title nor author. BROCKELMANN (GAL S II 942 nr.128) has supposed
"al-Usfuri العصفوري " to be part of the author's name, but could not identify
the text and the author. He does not mention the Berlin ms. A further ms. is in
Bagdad, Maktabat al-Awqaf nr.545 (s. Abd Allah al-Juburi عبد الله الجبوري ,
Fahras al-makhtutat al-arabiya fi Maktabat al-Awqaf al-Amma fi Baghdad فهرس
المخطوطات العربية في مكتبة الأوقاف العامة في بغداد , Bagdad 1973, p.180). - The
mss. in the possession of Brill as mentioned by BROCKELMANN (GAL) are now in
Princeton (Garrett-collection) nr.1443 and 1445; they give Kitab Usfuri as title
and Muhammad Ibn Abi Bakr as author; the ms.1445 is copied in 965/1558; this
means that the text must be composed before the 11th/16th century.
[1019] fol.62v-85r: Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani ابن حجر العسقلاني
: al-Munabbihat ala al-isti'dad li-yawm al-ma'ad المنبهات على الاستعداد ليوم
المعاد .
The title is mentioned 62v4 and can be identified by comparison with the Berlin
mss. 8505p; 8706/1; 8706/2; 8766/3 and 8706/5. But the mss. show divergences;
cf. ms. Berlin 8706/2 and ms. India Office Library (London) 187 which are
slightly abridged. For further mss. and the editions see GAL II 69 nr.34 and S
II 74 nr.34.; Catalogue of the Mingana Collection of Manuscripts IV = Islamic
Arabic Manuscripts, Birmingham 1963, nr.159 and 1029.
Ms.3.
155 folios; 25×18,5 cm; 25 lines; nasta'liq; brown paper, stained with water,
sometimes repaired. Modern half-leather binding. Copied 1000/1591 (or, in part a
few years later; see the note on 155r which is not quite clear).
[1020] fol.4v-155r: Ubayd Allah Ibn Mas'ud Ibn Taj
al-Shari'a عبيد الله بن مسعود بن تاج الشريعة : Sharh al-Wiqaya شرح الوقاية .
A commentary by Ubayd Allah Ibn Mas'ud Sadr al-Shari'a al-Thani عبيد الله بن
مسعود صدر الشريعة الثاني (died 747/1346) on Wiqayat al-riwaya fi masa'il
al-Hidaya وقاية الرواية في مسائل الهداية , an abridged version of the Bidayat
al-mubtadi' بداية المبتدئ , a hanafite compendium on the furu' فروع by Ali Ibn
Abi Bakr Ibn Abd al-Jalil al-Marghinani علي بن أبي بكر بن عبد الجليل المرغناني
(died 593/1197). The abridgement wrote Burhan al-Din Mahmud برهان الدين محمود ,
a brother of al-Marghinani. On the text cf. GAL I 377 and S II 646. The margin
of the ms. contains many glosses. The commented text is overlined in red ink; he
is indicated by the red letter "m م " (= matn متن ); the commentary is indicated
by the red letter "sh ش " (= sharh شرح ). Titles are written in red ink. Between
fol.27v and 28r two slips with notes are inserted, some of them by Ahmad Chelebi
أحمد چلبي .
Ms.4.
170 folios; 21,5×15,5 cm; 23 lines; naskhi; modern half-leather binding.
Handwriting of the end of the 12th/18th century. Owner's remark on fol.160v with
the year 1292/1875.
The arrangement of the folios is not correct; fol.1-22 should be 12-41;
fol.23-28 should be 164-169; fol.29-99 should be 42-112; fol.100-110 should be
1-11; fol.111-118 should be 113-120; fol.119-126 should be 13-20; fol.127-169
should be 121-163.
[1021] Anonymous: An extensive commentary to Sura 2.
The text is not complete at the beginning. The anonymous author refers to the
canonical collections of traditions (al-Tirmidhi الترمذي , Abu Da'ud أبو داوود ,
al-Nasa'i النسائي , Malik Ibn Anas مالك بن أنس , Ahmad Ibn Hanbal أحمد بن حنبل ,
al-Bukhari البخاري , Muslim مسلم ); he cites Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة and esp.
al-Shafi'i الشافعي ; furthermore: al-Baghawi البغوي (perhaps Abu Muhammad
al-Husayn Ibn Mas'ud al-Farra' al-Baghawi أبو محمد الحسين بن مسعود الفراء البغوي
who died 510/1117: see GAL I 363f.; S I 620); Ibn al-Arabi ابن العربي , Ahkam
al-qur'an أحكام القرآن (it is not clear, whether this text is identical with the
commentary by Abd al-Razzaq al-Qashani عبد الرزاق القاشاني which is ascribed to
Ibn al-Arabi; see on this ascription O. YAHYA, Histoire et classification de
l'oeuvre d'Ibn Arabi, II, Damas 1964, p.483f.); the commentaries by al-Tabari
الطبري and Fakhr al-Din al-Razi فخر الدين الرازي (died 606/1209; cf. GAL I 506;
S I 920); the commentary by Muhi al-Din al-Nawawi محي الدين النووي (died
676/1277) to the collection of traditoions by Muslim (mentioned in GAL I 160; S
I 265); finally (69r8) Abu Mas'ud al-Dimashqi أبو مسعود الدمشقي (= Ibrahim Ibn
Muhammad Ibn Ubayd al-Dimashqi إبراهيم بن محمد بن عبيد الدمشقي who died
400/1010: see KAHHALE I 101) on the authenticity of a tradition. Therefore the
terminus post quem of this commentary is the 7th/13th century.
Ms.5.
301 folios; 22×17 cm; 27 lines; naskhi; modern half-leather binding; hand of the
early 12th/18th century.
Beginning and end as well as fol.22-26 are missing. As a comparison with ms.
Berlin 8836 shows the ms. contains the following text:
[1022] al-Birkawi (Al-Birgili) البركوي (البرگلي) :
al-Tariqa al-Muhammadiya الطريقة المحمدية , with an extensive anonymous
commentary.
al-Birkawi (died 981/1573) describes in this work the exemplary life modelled on
that of Muhammad. The text starts in the ms. with chapter 3, section 2. - Cf.
GAL II 441 nr.15 and S II 655 nr.15. In the margin are glosses by Rajab Efendi
رجب أفندي . They may perhaps derive from Rajab Ibn Ahmad رجب بن أحمد who wrote
around 1087/1676 a commentary to the Tariqa طريقة (called al-Wasila al-Ahmadiya
الوسيلة الأحمدية ; see below ms. nr.6).
Ms.6.
220 folios; 31,5×21,5 cm; 31 lines; naskhi; modern binding. Copied by Yusuf Ibn
Uthman Ibn Husayn in Gülshehri during Safar 1147/July 1734.

On this commentary on al-Birkawi البركوي , al-Tariqa al-Muhammadiya الطريقة
المحمدية (cf. above ms. nr.5) see GAL II 441 nr.15b and S II 655 nr.15b. - The
commented text is overlined in red. The first seven folios are missing.
Ms.7.
67 folios; 21×15 cm; 15-22 lines; naskhi; modern half-leather binding. Between
fol.63v and 67r2 folios from another ms. are inserted (s. below). Copied
1098/1686 (fol.31v; 50v by al-Hajji Hasan Ibn Molla Muhammad) and 1097/1685
(643v by Mustafa Ibn Bakr).
[1024] fol.1v-31v: Abu Hamid al-Ghazzali أبو حامد الغزالي :
Bidayat al-hidaya بداية الهداية .
On this author (died 505/1111) and his treatise on religious ethics (composed
afer his Ihya' ulum al-din إحياء علوم الدين ) see description of ms.265.
[1025] fol.32v-43v: Anonymous: Hayat al-qulub li-ma yazulu
bihi ilal al-jahl wa-al-dhunub حياة القلوب لما يزول به علل الجهل والذنوب .
The text is identical with mss. Berlin 1891 and 3142 and ms. Mingana
(Birmingham) 1296. It is not mentioned in GAL and deals in seven chapters with
the duties of the believer (see the description of ms. Berlin 1891 by AHLWARDT).
Some folios contain glosses in the margin (esp.40v and 41r). Our ms. is the
oldest copy of the text which must therefore have been composed before the
11th/17th century.
[1026] fol.44r-48v: Anonymous: Fusul ashara فصول عشرة .
The author is not mentioned. Hajji Khalifa (Kashf al-zunun IV nr.9093) and
BURSALI MEHEMMED TAHIR, Osmanli Mü'ellifleri (Istanbul 1334/1915-1343/1924) I 18
mention Ibn Isa Ibn Majd al-Din al-Aqhisari al-Sarukhani ابن عيسى بن مجد الدين
الأقحصاري الصاروخاني (died 967/1559) as author of such a work. It is a treatise
on ritual purity and on prayer, in 10 chapters.
It is not yet clear, whether the text should be identified with Ibn al-Majdi
al-Qahiri al-Shafi'i ابن المجدي القاهري الشافعي (died 850/1447; see GAL S II
158), al-Fusul al-ashara الفصول العشرة (entered in GAL S III 1259, supplement to
159.10, nr.28).
[1027] fol.49v-50v: al-Hajji Hasan Ibn Molla Muhammad
الحاجي حسن بن ملا محمد : an explanation of iman إيمان , in six short chapters.
Author and text are not mentioned by the bio-bibliographical sources. According
to the colophon the text is copied by the author himself in the year 1098/1686.
[1028] fol.52v-63v: An extract from a work on jurisprudence
(fiqh فقه ).
The text must be composed after the 11th/17th century: fol.61v mentions al-Qadi
Abu Bakr Ibn al-Arabi القاضي أبو بكر بن العربي who wrote during the time of
Murad IV whose reign was 1058-1099/1648-1687, Siraj al-muridin سراج المريدين .
That title is not mentioned in GAL (S II 647), however by Hajji Khalifa, Kashf
al-zunun III nr.7081.
[1029] fol.64r-64v; 67r: Some notes on the use of the Siwak
سواك , a stick used for cleaning the teeth and on prescriptions for prayer.
[1030] fol.65r-66v: al-Ghazzali الغزالي : Ayyuha al-walad

423 nr.32 and S I 750 nr. 32.
Ms.8.
161 folios; 21×15 cm; 21-24 lines; naskhi; titles and beginnings of the chapters
are written in yellow ink. Paper sometimes slightly damaged. Between fol.61 and
62v a loose folio with glosses; also between 112v and 113v: a folio with an
extract in Turkish from al-Maghnisawi المغنساوي , Sharh al-fiqh al-akbar شرح
الفقه الأكبر (by Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة ). - Modern half-leather binding. Copied
in 1182/1768 (112v; 149v) by Ahmad Ibn Ibrahim in the Madrasat Sakhmanara at
Janpur.
After a short remark on the ubi-sunt-gui-ante-nos-theme (the present generation
will perish like the former prophets and even Muhammad) on 1r and after the
enumeration of the contents (2r-3v) the ms. contains the following texts:
[1031] fol.4v-112v: Anonymous: Zubdat al-wa'izin fi bayan
kalam rabb al-alamin زبدة الواعظين في بيان كلام رب العالمين .
The text is not mentioned in GAL but can be found in Hajji Khalifa (Kashf
al-zunun III nr.6840), also without author. The beginning of the text as
transmitted by Hajji Khalifa proves the identity of both texts. It is a
compendium (mukhtasar مختصر ) in 48 chapters of which 6 chapters should be
studied every week.
The text is a devotional book containing much material from Islamic law, the
Koran, tradition and legends. We find anecdotes about al-Hasan al-Basri الحسن
البصري (9r; 14r; 51v; 57v; 64r; 65r; 71v; 76r; 90v; 109r), figures of the Old
Testament, sometimes with Wahb Ibn Munabbih وهب بن منبه as source (55r6; 79r9;
88r14; 109r); legends about Jesus (49r; 101r; 103r; 105v), about Abd al-Rahman
Ibn Firdaws عبد الرحمن بن فردوس (76v), Abu Dharr al-Ghifari أبو ذر الغفاري
(45r), Abu Mansur al-Maturidi أبو منصور الماتريدي and his 80 years old teacher
shortly before his death (61r14ff.); Ali Ibn Abi Talib علي بن أبي طالب (40r;
75r, -3ff.); Abu Ja'far al-Tayyar أبو جعفر الطيار (67r); Mansur Ibn Uthman منصور
بن عثمان (58v; 59r); Ma'ruf al-Karkhi معروف الكرخي (77v, ult.ff.); Sultan Mahmud
سلطان محمود and lyas إياس about the question of standing before the Sultan as a
mark of esteem (cf. on this K. DILGER, Untersuchungen zur Geschichte des
osmanischen Hofzeremoniells im 15. und 16. Jh., München 1967, p.77f.; H.
KINDERMANN, Über die guten Sitten beim Essen und Trinken, Leiden 1964, p.131f.);

Most of the cited sources belong to Hanafite circles of the 6th/11-12th century.
The Fatawi فتاوي by Bazzazi البزازي (= Hafiz al-Din Muhammad Ibn Muhammad
al-Bazzazi حافظ الدين محمد بن محمد البزازي who died 827/1424: see GAL II 225; S
II 316) on fol.21v8 form the terminus post quem of this text. It must have been
composed between 827/1424 and 1067/1657 (death of Hajji Khalifa). It is not only
a collection of Hanafite rules of Islamic law but also an important compilation
from sometimes old and rare sources.
In the margin the copyist has added many glosses, mainly philological
explanations in Turkish of single expressions; the source is Akhtari أختري or
Akhtari kabir أختري كبير (8v; 15v; 24r etc.) = most likely the Arabic-Turkish
dictionary of Mustafa Ibn Shams al-Din al-Qarahisari al-Akhtari مصطفى بن شمس
الدين القرحساري الأختري (died 968/1560: see GAL S II 630; cf. ms. Berlin 7000
and 7001). - Many glosses are ascribed to a man called "(al-)Qadi القاضي " (16r;
20r; 27r etc.), some to "Rajab رجب " (28r; 98r; 100r) or "Rajabiya رجبية " (27v;
28r; 68r) ; cited texts are the Masabih مصابيح (106v), the Sharh masabih شرح
مصابيح (20v) or al-Masabih wa-sharhuhu المصابيح وشرحه (97v) = perhaps Masabih
al-sunna مصابيح السنة by al-Husayn Ibn Mas'ud al-Farra' al-Baghawi الحسين بن
مسعود الفراء البغوي which has been commented many times (see GAL I 363 nr.1 and
S I 620 nr.1); the Jami' mawa'iz al-Bukhari جامع مواعظ البخاري (5r; 5v; 22r);
Mishkat al-anwar مشكاة الأنوار (30r; 30v) = perhaps the title mentioned in GAL S
I 751; Kashf al-haqa'iq كشف الحقائق (17v); Shaykhzade شيخ زاده , al-Hashiya
lil-Qadi al-Baydawi الحاشية للقاضي البيضاوي (4v; cf. GAL S I 739 nr.12 and S II

Daqa'iq al-akhbar fi dhikr al-janna wa-al-nar كتاب أحوال القيامة = دقائق الأخبار
في ذكر الجنة والنار .
This eschatological text has neither title nor author; it is identical with the
text which is edited by M. WOLFF, Muhammedanische Eschatologie, Leipzig 1872 and
with the numerous editions bearing the title Daqa'iq al-akhbar دقائق الأخبار
etc., see GAL S II 420; cp. S I 346). - In the margin the copyist has added
philological notes from al-Akhtari الأختري (see preceding text). fol.153v-160r:
A collection of excerpts from the following texts:
[1033] 1) Jila' al-qulub جلاء القلوب (by al-Birkawi البركوي
: see GAL II 440 nr.5; S II 654 nr.5): fol.153v-154r13. See ms.17, fol.71v-91v.
[1034] 2) al-Baydawi البيضوي , Anwar al-tanzil أنوار
التنزيل : 154r13-154v9.
[1035] 3) Tafsir تفسير by Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi أبو
الليث السمرقندي (cf. GAL I 196 nr.1; S I 347 nr.1).
[1036] 4) Mukashafat al-qulub مكاشفة القلوب by al-Ghazzali
الغزالي (cf. preceding text, glosses).
[1037] 5) Tafsir kabir تفسير كبير , a commentary on Sura
30, 41 (40): fol.155v18-156v, ult.
[1038] 6) Tanbih al-ghafilin تنبيه الغافلين , perhaps by
Abu al-Layth al-Samarqandi أبو الليث السمرقندي (GAL I 196 nr.4; S I 348 nr.9):
fol.157r1.
[1039] 7) A fragment of a commentary on Sura 87, 14:
fol.157v19-158v7.
[1040] 8) An anonymous treatise on Fadilat laylat al-qadr
فضيلة ليلة القدر : fol.158v7-160r (incomplete at the end).
There are a few glosses in the margin of the excerpts mentioned.
Ms.9.
155 folios; 21×12 cm; 17 lines; nasta'liq. Modern leather binding with the
original vignettes and a frame made from golden points. Copied Ramadan
1112/January 1701 in Ayntab by Khidr Ibn al-Hajji Ibn Muhammad al-Antalyawi
al-Qardaji (fol.155r).
[1041] fol.1v-13v: al-Baydawi البيضاوي : Lubb al-albab fi
ilm al-i'rab لب الألباب في علم الإعراب .
An explanation of grammatical terms which are written in red ink. According to
Hajji Khalifa (Kashf al-zunun V nr.306) the text is an extract from Ibn al-Hajib
ابن الحاجب , al-Kafiya الكافية (about syntax). This classification is taken over
by BROCKELMANN, GAL I 305; however, the text is wrongly classified in GAL I 303
I 3 as a commentary by al-Baydawi and in GAL I 418 IV; S I 742 IV as an
independent work by al-Baydawi. A further ms. is Chester Beatty 4315/2
(fol.42-80); cf. also the following commentary by al-Birkawi البركوي which
includes the text of al-Baydawi.
[1042] fol.15v-155r: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي
(البرگلي) : Imtihan al-adhkiya' امتحان الأذكياء .
A comprehensive commentary by al-Birkawi (died 981/1573) on the preceding text
by al-Baydawi البيضاوي (written in red ink). Cf. GAL II 441 nr.17; S II 656
nr.17.
Many glosses are added in the margin: 26r mentions the commentary of Isam al-Din
al-Isfara'ini عصام الدين الإصفرائني on the al-Kafiya الكافية of Ibn al-Hajib ابن
الحاجب (cf. GAL I 304 nr.14; S I 534 nr.14); 57r mentions the Hashiyat al-Jami
حاشية الجامي = perhaps the commentary by Molla Jami ملا جامي on Ibn al-Hajib,
al-Kafiya; 98r refers to Nata'ij al-afkar, a commentary by Mustafa Ibn Hamza
Ataly مصطفى بن حمزة أطلي on al-Birkawi, Izhar al-asrar إظهار الأسرار : cf. GAL
II 441 nr.20b: it is different from the commentary by Mustafa Ibn Hamza Ataly on
Imtihan al-adhkiya' (mentioned in GAL S I 742 IV b): cf. Nata'ij al-afkar نتائج
الأفكار , ms. Berlin 6784 and Hashiya ala Imtihan al-adhkiya' حاشية على امتحان
الأذكياء ms. Princeton (Garrett-collection) 385!
After fol.16v a slip of paper is inserted; it contains excerpts from a
commentary on Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة , al-Fiqh al-akbar الفقه الأكبر . Three more
slips of paper with notes are added after fol.17v.
Further mss. of al-Birkawi's Imtihan al-adhkiya' (uned.): Bibl. Centr. Univ.
Teheran nr.3240; Iraq Museum nr.702 (copied 1046/1636). - As G. Vajda (Journal

[1047] al-Halabi الحلبي : Multaqa al-abhur ملتقى الأبحر ,
with commentary (Khalij al-bihar خليج البحار ) by Qassabzade قصاب زاده .
Cf. the description of ms.10. Author and title of the commentary are not
mentioned in our ms. According to the colophon the commentary was finished
during 1055/1645. Among the 30 commentators of Multaqa al-abhur as mentioned by
BURSALI MEHEMMED TAHIR, Osmanli Mü'ellifleri (Istanbul 1334/1915-16, repr. 1971)
I 183 the Turkish scholar Qassabzade Muhammad Efendi قصاب زاده محمد أفندي wrote
a commentary during the year 1055/1645. According to the ms. preserved in Cairo
(Dar al-Kutub al-Misriya, see Fahras I, Cairo 1921, p.419a) it has the title
Khalij al-bihar. A further ms. of this still unedited commentary is mentioned in
GAL II 432 nr.1a.
The margins of some pages contain a few glosses. An enumeration of the chapters
is given on the first three folios.
Ms.14.

A commentary on the Kitab al-Maqsud fi al-sarf كتاب المقصود في الصرف (on
grammar) which is ascribed to Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة . Our ms. does not mention an
author. The ms. Princeton (Garrett-collection) nr.307 and the ms. in Cairo, Dar
al-kutub al-misriya (see Fahras al-kutub al-arabiya al-mawjuda bi-dar al-kutub
II, Cairo 1345/1926, p.57a) mention Isa Efendi al-Sirawi عيسى أفندي السيراوي as
author. Cf. however BURSALI MEHEMMED TAHIR, Osmanli Mü'ellifleri I (Istanbul
1334/1915-16) p.359 and MEHMET SÜREYYA, Sijill-i 0smani III, Istanbul 1311/1893,
p.613, 4ff.; BURSALI confirms in a chronogram (for the year of al-Ayshi's death,
namely 1061/1650) the name al-Ayshi instead of Isa. BROCKELMANN (GAL S II 657
nr.25b) has correctly "Muhammad Efendi al-Ayshi محمد أفندي العيشي " as author of
Ruh al-shuruh, but mentions elsewhere (S II 658 nr.25f.) the text a second time
with "Isa Efendi al-Sirawi" as author, without realizing the identity of both
texts.

[1055] fol.15v-48v: al-Halabi, Ibrahim Ibn Muhammad الحلبي،
إبراهيم بن محمد : Risalat Ahamm al-umur رسالة أهم الأمور .
The title is mentioned 16r, -7f. and the author can be found in two mss. in
Turkey: see the Union Catalogue of Mss. in Turkey IV, Istanbul 1984, p.38 and
130; a third ms. is Iraq Museum nr.1932 (p.103-159). This theological compendium
is directed against the determinists: Cf. H. DAIBER, Das
theologisch-philosophische System des Mu'ammar Ibn Abbad al-Sulami معمر بن عباد
السلمي (gest.830 n.Chr.), Beirut-Wiesbaden 1975, p.377 note 2; p.96 and 192,
note 3. - Remarkable is an excerpt from an unknown commentary (sharh شرح ) by
Yahya Ibn Abi Bakr al-Hanafi يحيى بن أبي بكر الحنفي (mentioned by F. SEZGIN,
Geschichte des arabischen Schrifttums I, Leiden 1967, p.434) on the Creed
(al-fiqh al-akbar الفقه الأكبر ) by Abu Hanifa (al-Imam al-a'zam) أبو حنيفة (
الإمام الأعظم ) on fol.16r 2-8. Yahya Ibn Abi Bakr wrote in the 4th/10th century
(see DAIBER p.174 n.3).
The author of the Risalat Ahamm al-umur also wrote a summary (ikhtisar اختصار )
for beginners which is preserved in ms. Berlin 1893 (fol.234v-249; copied
1150/1737). Both texts are still unedited and not mentioned in GAL.
[1056] fol.49v-50v: An anonymous poem (incomplete at the
end).

(البرگلي) : Inqadh al-halikin إنقاذ الهالكين .
On the author and this text see ms. nr.1, fol.146v-148v. The text is incomplete
between fol.62 and 63 (perhaps 1 folio is missing).
[1058] fol.71v-91v: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي
(البرگلي) : Jila' al-qulub جلاء القلوب .
As a comparison with ms. Berlin 3049 shows, the text is incomplete and ends in
the chapter on the death (ms. Berlin 3049, fol.13v ff.). Further mss. of this
still unedited text are mentioned in GAL II 440 nr.5 and S II 654 nr.5. - A
fragment is preserved in ms. 8, fol.153v-154r13.
In the margin are added many glosses, often from the Madarik مدارك = perhaps
Madarik al-tanzil مدارك التنزيل by Abu al-Barakat al-Nasafi أبو البركات النسفي :
see GAL II 196; S II 267.
[1059] fol.92v-94v: al-Turaji (al-Turuji) التورجي

The author of this commentary on Abd al-Qahir Ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Jurjani's عبد
القاهر بن عبد الرحمن الجرجاني (died 471/1078 or later) treatise on particles
(al-Awamil al-mi'a العوامل المئة ) cannot be identified. Further mss. are
mentioned in GAL I 341 I nr.4 and S I 504 I nr.4; mss. Mingana (Birmingham) 1432
and 1433.
[1060] fol.95r-98v: al-Birkawi (al-Birgili) البركوي

Ibn Mansur al-Khatib أبو الفتح المظفر بن إبراهيم بن منصور الخطيب : Alfaz al-kufr
ألفاظ الكفر .
The beginning of the text is identical with ms. Berlin 2164 and 2165. The end is
different.
The text differs from the Alfaz al-kufr by Muhammad Ibn Isma'il Ibn Mahmud Ibn
Muhammad Badr al-Rashid محمد بن إسماعيل بن محمود بن محمد بدر الرشيد (died
768/1366) which is mentioned in GAL II 80 and S II 88. The author of our text
(not mentioned by BROCKELMANN in his GAL) cannot be identified. He must have
written before the end of the 11th/17th century.
Ms.18.
89 folios; 21×15 cm; 17-19 lines; naskhi; modern half-leather binding. Copied
1130/1717 (34v); 1129/1716 (89r) and Rabi' II 1129/15.3.1717 (59v).
[1062] fol.1v-27v: Abu al-Muntaha Ahmad Ibn Muhammad
al-Maghnisawi أبو المنتهى أحمد بن محمد المغنيساوي : Sharh al-fiqh al-akbar شرح
الفقه الأكبر .
On this commentary (finished 939/1532) on Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة (died 150/767),
al-Fiqh al-akbar (Abu Hanifa's Creed) see F. SEZGIN, GAS I (Leiden 1967) 413.
[1063] fol.29v-34v: Risala fi al-fara'id رسالة في الفرائض .
Fol.29r mentions Kitab al-fara'id كتاب الفرائض as the title of this treatise on
the law of succession. According to ms. Berlin 4749 the author is Shihab al-Din
Abu Hamid Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Mahmud Ibn Ali Ibn Abi Talib شهاب الدين أبو
حامد محمد بن أحمد بن محمود بن علي بن أبي طالب who is mentioned by BROCKELMANN
(GAL S II 973 nr.16) as the unidentifiable author of the Fara'id (with 3 mss. to
which the Berlin ms. should be added too). The text has been commented by Abd
al-Halim al-Muskiri عبد الحليم المسكري who died 900/1494 (s. BROCKELMANN 1.c.).
It must therefore have been written before the end of the 9th/15th century.
As a comparison with ms. Berlin 4749 shows, our ms. differs very much : it is
shorter at the end and ends with ms. Berlin 4749, fol.89r6 (thus 89r7-90r of the
Berlin ms. are missing in our ms.). On the other hand our ms. has additional
sections and does not contain the note in the introduction of ms. Berlin 4749
fol.79v6f. according to which it is a "summary" (mukhtasar مختصر ). The Berlin
ms. is apparently a shortened redaction which has some additions, namely
(besides the introduction fol.79v3ff.) fol.80v4ff.; 81r2ff.; 83r2ff.; 84r2f.;
86r, ult. ss.; 89r7-90r (end). However, the following passages of our ms. are
missing in the Berlin ms.: fol.29v5-8; 29v10-30r10; 30v4-9; 30v13-31r2;
31v1-32r3 (shorter and different from Berlin 4749, fol.84r3-85r, ult.);
32r1-32v4; 3410-33v6; 34r4-ult.
[1064] fol.35v-40r: A fragment of a commentary (Sharh شرح )
on a work about the law of succession. According to the colophon the text was
"written down" (harrarahu حرره ) by Hajji Sulayman حاجي سليمان (not
identifiable). The text must have been completed after Ibn Kamal Pasha ابن كمال
باشا (died 940/1533; see GAL II 449; S II 668) who is mentioned on fol.35v8. On
the last page two small excerpts and a short anecdote are added.
[1065] fol.41v-89r: al-Husuni الحصوني : Zuhur al-atiya fi

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

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

[1071] fol.1v-214v(225r): Mahmud Ibn Abd al-Rahman Ibn
Ahmad al-Isfahani محمود بن عبد الرحمن بن أحمد الإصفهاني : Matali' al-anzar مطالع
الأنظار .
A commentary by al-Isfahani (died 749/1348; cf. GAL S II 137) on Tawali'
al-anwar min matali' al-anzar طوالع الأنوار من مطالع الأنظار (about metaphysics)
by al-Baydawi البيضاوي (died 716/1316 or earlier); cf. GAL I 418 VI nr.2 and S I
742 VI nr.2.
Fol.1-3v seem to have been added later. Commentary and commented text are
separated from each other by aqulu أقول and qala قال in red ink. Some glosses
are added in the margin. Our ms. contains book I (fi al-mumkinat في الممكنات ;
ends fol.126v) and II (fi al-ilahiyat في الإلهيات ; ends fol.214v). Book III (fi
al-nubuwat في النبوات ) is missing. Between book I and II a fragment of a poem
is inserted (126v-127r).
Between 9v and 10r is a lacuna: 9v ends in fasl فصل 2 of the preface and 10v
starts in fasl 1 of book I ch.1. This lacuna can be filled (except a part of
fasl 2 of the preface and fasl 3) by fol.217r-225r (a late addition at the end
of our ms.); these folios also contain the preface, fasl 4 (fi ahkam al-nazar في
أحكام النظر ) and (on 224r1ff.) the beginning of book I. This beginning overlaps
with the passus starting fol.10r1: 10r1-10v10 is this 224v3-225v, ult. - An
overlapping has also happened on 3r15-3v, ult.: this piece is also on 4r1-18:
this overlapping happened because fol.1-3 have been added later; the handwriting
is different from the one on fol.217-225.

[1098] fol.25r-52r: A fragment of an anonymous devotional
work called Salah al-arwah wa-tariq ila dar al-falah صلاح الأرواح وطريق إلى دار
الفلاح .
This title is not mentioned by BROCKELMANN (GAL); further mss. are Berlin 8863
and 8864. It conforms to ms. Berlin 8863, fol.71v-106r, with slight divergences
at the end and without the chapters of Berlin 8863, fol.78r-85r. This means that
in our ms. approximately the first half is missing.
In the Berlin mss. the text is ascribed to Ibn al-Jawzi ابن الجوزي . This cannot
be correct as AHLWARDT shows in his description of ms. Berlin 8864. The unknown
author wrote after 671/1272, the year of Abu Abd Allah Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn
Abi Bakr al-Qurtubi's أبو عبد الله محمد بن أحمد بن أبي بكر القرطبي death whose
commentary on the Koran is mentioned in ms. Berlin 8864 on fol.68v.
[1099] fol.52r-57v: A fragment of an anonymous
eschatological work called Kitab al-tadhkira كتاب التذكرة .
The text is different from al-Qurtubi's القرطبي Kitab al-tadhkira bi-ahwal
al-mawta wa-ahwal al-akhira كتاب التذكرة بأحوال الموتى وأحوال الآخرة (GAL I 415
nr.2; S I 737 nr.2); cf. the ms. Heidelberg Or. 267, spec. vol.II, fol.36v ff. -
The text contains the following chapters:
fol.52r: Bab fi dhikr al-anhar fi al-janna باب في ذكر الأنهار في الجنة .
fol.53r: Bab fi dhikr al-hur al-in باب في ذكر الحور العين .
fol.55v: Bab fi dhikr ma'idat al-khuld باب في ذكر مائدة الخلد .
fol.56r: Bab fi dhikr ru'ya باب في ذكر رؤية .
fol.56v: Bab fi ma'rifat ayyam al-dunya fi al-janna باب في معرفة أيام الدنيا في
الجنة .
[1100] fol.58r-77v: A fragment of Salah al-arwah fi tariq
al-arwah صلاح الأرواح في طريق الأرواح .
On the text cf. above fol.25r-52r. This copy contains the chapters Bab ma yanji
min ahwal yawm al-qiyama باب ما ينجي من أحوال يوم القيامة (fol.58r = ms. Berlin
8863, fol.11v); Bab fadl al-hajj باب فضل الحج (fol.58v = ms. Berlin 8863,
fol.6v); then (fol.58v ff.) all the chapters of ms. Berlin 8863, fol.17v-39r,
with one exception: our ms. has on fol.66r: Bab fi fadl bi-ismi Allah باب في فضل
بسم الله , whilst the Berlin ms.8863 has on fol.27v: Bab fi fadl al-karam باب في
فضل الكرم .
It is possible that also the folios 103v-104r (Bab fadl al-zakat باب فضل الزكاة
) of our ms. belong to this text: this anonymous passage can be found between
two excerpts from Rawnaq al-tafasir رونق التفاسير (see the following text) and
is also in ms. Berlin 8863, fol.5r!
[1101] fol.78r-131r: A fragment of Rawnaq al-tafasir رونق
التفاسير .
This devotional work has the complete title Rawnaq al-tafasir fi haqq al-anbiya'
رونق التفاسير في حق الأنبياء and is ascribed in other mss. to Muhammad Ibn Najib
al-Qarahisari محمد بن نجيب القرحصاري (9th/15th century): see GAL II 229; S II
320. Our ms. contains the stories about Isma'il إسماعيل (78r); Abraham (79v);
Nebucadnezar (86v, 90v); the birth of Mary (92r); Adam (96r); the birth of Yahya
Ibn Zakariya' يحيى بن زكرياء (104r); wonders of Jesus (106r); Uhud أحد (116v);
