PREFACE.
Eaely in 1870 I was honoured by the Indian Government with the commission to prepare
a Catalogue raisonne of the Arabic MSS. in the Library of the India Office. I was engaged
on this task, in London, from April 1870 to July 1872. Unfortunately nearly double
that time has been spent in carrying the work through the press.
The larger half of the MSS. belong to the great collection of Muhammadan MSS.
of the East India House. This collection was formed from the libraries of Warren Hastings,
Tippu Sultan, Eichaed Johnson, the Gaikwar, Dr. Leyden, etc. It comprised above
3000 volumes, which were not even classed according to the diflferent languages (Arabic,
Persian, Urdu, Malay, etc.). In 1869 the Arabic portion was picked out, for the first time,
by Dr. G. Hoffmann (now Professor in Kiel), who also drew up a list, in which the numbers
were arranged according to subjects. The original numeration was left unaltered.
With the exception of the library of Tippu, — of which Major Charles Stewart had
prepared a catalogue, whilst it was still in the College of Port William,* — these Arabic MSS.
have remained comparatively little known, and only one has, to my knowledge, been used
for an edition.t
The remaining MSS. belong to the Bijdpur collection, which consists almost entirely
of Arabic books, only a few being Persian. A full account of the discovery of this collection,
and of the transactions connected with its removal from Bijapiir, may be found in the
Bombay Government Records, No. XLL, New Series, pp. 210 sqq. It was once the Eoyal
Library of the 'Adil-Shahs, but was subsequently removed to the Asar Mahall Jjs^^l, an
ecclesiastical establishment, which owed its name to the possession of some relics of the
Prophet. There the library was still to be found in 1849, when the attention of the
Government of Bombay was drawn to it by a report of Mr. H. B. E. (now Sir Babtle)
Frere (see Bomb. Gov. Eec, I.e., pp. 215 sqq.). This gentleman also prevailed on a learned
Muhammadan, named HamId al-din Hakim, to prepare a catalogue in Urdu, which was
translated by Mr. Ersklne (Bomb. Gov. Eec, I.e., pp. 221 sqq.). After being removed, in
* A Descriptive Catahgue of the Oriental Library of Tippoo Sultan of Mysore, etc. etc. Cambridge, 1809. These MSS. are now
described partly as MSS. of Tippu, and partly as MSS. of the College of Fort William,
t 1442 Johnson (No. 382 of this Catalogue).
vi PREFACE.
1851, to Satara, the whole collection was janally sent to London in 1853. Here it was
examined, and a catalogue of it drawn up, in Arabic, by Mr. Eizkallah IIassotjk, in 1869.
In order to distinguish these MSS. from those of the old stock, the letter B has been prefixed
to their numbers.
These Bijapur MSS. were, on the whole, in a sad condition. Damp, vermin, and
habitual neglect, had combined to do their work of destruction on the treasures of the Asar
Mahall. They were generally deprived of their bindings ; most of them were defective
and in disorder ; some were mere bundles of rubbish. However, I did not spare time and
trouble in ascertaining the doubtful fragments, in re-arranging the leaves, and in noting
the sometimes numerous defects. Now that they have been duly bound and mended, these
MSS. will, I hope, still be considered a valuable portion of the Library.
In most of these MSS. there is a note, stating the dates at which they were incorporated
with the Library of Bijapur ; to which the names of the former owners are frequently added.
I have usually quoted these statements at the foot of the single articles, with the abbrevia-
tion Bij. Lihr. Subsequently to the taking of Bijapur by Aurangzib, a.h. 1097 ( = a.d. 1686),
the Library of the Asar Mahall was inspected by an officer of the latter, named Kabil Khan.
It was again surveyed, by order of Asaf Jah, — iljs*-'! cij^r- -y jS^ j^\ i_^m»*. — a.h. 1146
( = A.D. 1733). Identical notes (and seals) to this effect being in most of the books, I have
not taken any special notice of them. As to the Catalogue Hakm-Ersldne^ it was easy to
identify most of its items, by means of the inscriptions, however inaccurate, which Hakim
himself had given to the fragments. This is the meaning of the abbreviation Catal., or
Cat, which will usually be found at the end of the articles.
In the literary notes, I have referred, as far as possible, to Hcijji Khalifah's Biblio-
graphical Dictionary, as edited by Fluegel {H. Kh\ and to the printed Catalogues of
various collections ; but I have avoided needless quotations.
A list of Addenda et Corrigenda which occurred to me, after the respective sheets
were printed, will be found on a subsequent page.
In conclusion, I have to express my best thanks to Dr. EosT, the Librarian of the
India Office Library, who first conceived the plan of cataloguing all the collections under his
charge ; and to Professor Wm. "Wright, for his kindness in reading a proof of each sheet as
it passed through the press, in order to correct faults of style and idiom. That in doing so
he also saved me from some more material errors need scarcely be said.

and entitled ijil*lJl (J i<»^l' Finally, at the instance
of his son, Abu Nasr al-Hasan, he combined the con-
tents of both in a third and more abridged work, — the
present one. As to the time of its composition, the
author writes as follows in the Epilogue (fol. 398v.) :

The First Part (to 86. 18) of the large Commentary
on the Koran ^;-— Xil ^^ui-jl, properly styled -eulL*
^.^1, by Fakhral-dinAbu'1-fadl Muhammad b. 'Omar
EazI (d. A.H. 606), who finished it in a.h. 602. Cf. H.
Kh. vi. b; Ibn Khallikan, ed. "Wiistenfeld, No. iir;
and Cat. iSodl. ii. 701.
It begins with a long and detailed explanation of the
first Surah, which forms a separate book." The first words
are (fol. 9) : 'cyLUJl J^l '\Si \^, ^ JJl aU j^^
Lj ^\ ^\ — followed by iJUi-jlil and ^1.«umJ1, and a
paraphrase of Surah 1. Then the commentary begins :
<dll \uijj t. ^jMi ^jJii i^Jjs ^JasJj^ <__>li^ \s^ Am Ul
<Sac^UJi ijj^ |*jLc ^j^. It contains a £«jJL< in three
Jy^, the beginning of the first of which is quoted
in H. Kh., and three books, each subdivided into i^^«j1
and JjLu-* . They arc :
I. Fol. 10». ^b 3js.\ A^ ^^ dluc.^\ *^\ ^ ;

The commentary on the following Sarahs (Su. 2
from fol. 374^. to 177) is also very extensive, consisting
rather of separate tracts, which are often subdivided
into different JjL*.^ . The whole text of the Koran is
inserted in portions.
The present MS. consists of two volumes. The first,
which concludes with Su. 3 (on fol. 220), has the
following colophon :

The preface begins : Jj-*ll <tiA«J Jj-v^e"*^! "d! S^\
<ij jjil . The work is divided into twenty-nine or thirty
books, according to the subjects. Their order in the
present copy diifcrs from the list of Tusl. Besides,
some portions are in a strange state of confusion, of
which the owner of this copy must hare been conscious,
and which he tried to conceal by spoiling the text
at the end and at the beginning of several books with
ornaments.' Owing to the identity of their first words,
foU. 287 sqq. and 655 sqq. have been misplaced, but
they cannot be re-arranged properly, in the present con-
dition of the MS. The only way of making the whole
run coherently is to break the connexion of /♦^^ t—jlii
and ^\ <-_>li^ (foil. 474 and 475). Then the books
would stand in the following order :
I. (fol. 7v.) ^\j JiUll ; II. (fol. 22i>.) Ju^-jJl ;
III. (fol. 45) Ajs^\, containing the Shi 'ah doctrines on
the Imamate; IV. (fol. 1 55)^1^ ^^Uj SI ; V. (fol. 25 le>.)

An account of the various controversies between
the twelve Imams and their opponents, according
to the Shi 'ah tradition. It is in all probability the

Although, as a rule, the Isndds are omitted, yet that
leading up to the eleventh Imdm, al-Hasan 'Askart, is

The author complains of the slackening spirit of his
sect. He quotes, by way of introduction, what is
said in favour of religious contention in the Koran,
to which he subjoins an account of the various disputes
of the Prophet with idolaters, Jews, and Christians.
He then proceeds to relate at great length the claims
and arguments of 'All, and subsequently those of the
other Imams in succession. Each of them is repre-
sented as pleading his cause in speeches and disputa-
tions, or in letters. The work is accordingly divided into
sections ( AaJ), each of which is inscribed ' — _lsv>-i .

A diffuse treatise on mortal sins, founded upon the
tradition, by Ahslu) b. Hajar Haithami. It has been
printed at Biilak, a.h. 1284. Cf. Stewart's Catal. 151.
The author, who does not give his name, tells us that
he began this treatise in ah. 953, at Makkah (^iVsJl '»\),
and that he made use of a work of Abu 'Abdallah
Dhahabi (d. a.h. 748). The treatise consists of an in-
troduction (a.»jJL«), on the definition of mortal sin,
etc., and two parts (<— Aj), one (fol. 23) treating of the
internal" or mental sins (iLUl ylj31), and the other
(fol. 108) of the external" sins, or crimes in practise
(iysUall Ji\Ji\). The latter is divided into special
chapters, according to the system of the law-books, c-jIj
■sj\^\, etc. The appendix (i^ls^l, fol. 436) treats of
four subjects: I. of penitence (4j^1) ; 11. (fol. 440) of
the day of judgment; III. (fol. 448p.) of Hell; and
IV. (fol. 452) of Paradise, and it concludes with a
prayer.

The authenticity of this work has been questioned
from the very beginning, and it has also been con-
founded with the ^^j^\ li^=^t (H. Kh. v. 431)—
the latter certainly without reason, as both works are
very clearly distinguished in H. Kh. I.e. The identity
of the present text with the ^c<ms>.j^ W-^"* is proved
from the beginning and extracts of the preface as
given by H. Kh. Less certaiuty may be attributed to
his statement, that this is the larger edition in ten vols.
The present text, at least, is complete in two vols.
No other copy of the work is known to exist.
The present volume extends from ^_^l^l <__>l:;i to
CuljUk.*^! <__>ls^. The order of arrangement differs
much from that usually followed in Hanafite law-books.

A Commentary on a work on Hanafite Law, im-
perfect at the heginning, and without title. The
author of the original work is only alluded to
by the words ^_ov.a^l *L»1!! Ju.u*ll; however, from
occasional quotations of other works, especially his
jJij^\ ,' he appears to be Saiyid Ndsir al-dln Abu'l-
Kasim Muhammad b. Ttisuf Samarkand! Madani (d.
A.H. 556),* and the work commented on here, his <Uul\
jJUI . Cf. H. Kh. vi. 291 ; Fleischer, Cat. Lips.
477 sq. ; and Aumcr, Hdss. Miinch. 94.
The author of the commentary is the well-known
Abu'l-barakat 'Abdallah b. Ahmad Nasapi (d. A.n. 711).
This commentary is described by H". Kh. (I.e.), who
also gives an abstract of the epUogue. It is probably
entitled ^suaiujj^\ . The chief authority of Fasafi
is Badr al-din Kardarl (Muhammad b. Mahmud),
commonly called Khwaharzadah (d. a.h. 651), the
nephew of that Kardarl (Shams al-a'immah Mu-
hammad b. 'Abd al-sattar, d. a.h. 642) who is men-
tioned in the epilogue.' Very likely, therefore, the
" commentary by a disciple of Kardarl," subsequently
noted by H. Kh.,* is not different from the present
work. Cf. Flugel, Class. 323.
Only the first words of the passages commented are
given (with i^<^), but the books, chapters, and sections
of the original work are marked throughout. Hence
it would appear that the Leipzig MS. is incomplete.
The following headings are to be inserted into the list
given in Fleischer's Catal. 478. After No. 11, .Uiall ;
after No. 14, jWl ; i_^-lL4Jl ; 'i!^! ; J^J\ ; Jj jjl ;

The beginning of this MS. (20 foil.) has been
wanting for at least two centuries. The first words
are : cils^b iJij^ . The final portion has been partly
destroyed by white-ants. Still, the MS. is valuable
enough, as it is written in a very good hand, though
without diacritical points, and, as far as can be made
out from the conclusion, seems to have been transcribed
by the author himself. Unfortunately, the passage is
much injured. After a short prayer, the author says :

sionally rendered clear on the margin (marked with

of the Khalif 'All,' in Eabl' I., 516, etc. The IsnSd
goes back to Mutawakkil, who gives the following
account of the origin of the book. He was return-
ing to Khurasan from the pilgrimage, when he met
with Tahya b. Zaid b. 'All, and received from him
a copy of these prayers, on the authority of his father,
Zaid the Martyr. Subsequently, after Yahya had
been kiUed (a.h. 125), he went again to Madlnah,
where he showed his copy to Ja'far S&dik, who found
it identical with a book in his possession, which had
been written by his father, Muhammad b. 'All. From
this Mutawakkil took a copy, Ja'far himself dictating.
The book consisted originally of seventy-five chapters,
but eleven were lost by him, so that he only kept some
sixty chapters (bb ^^y^\ UIj l^o.* \^:Jiak>'^.
"With the exception of the last statement, the same
story is given with another Isnad, which, in Ibn
Mu^ahhar, joins that of Tusl (I.e.). According to thia
version, the book contained only fifty-four prayers,

of the Shl'ites are prayer, almsgiving, fasting, pilgri-
mage, and holy war. The author begins with prayer,
as that duty which is to be performed every day,
and treats of it circumstantially in a separate part,
<lLjji^ a^Ji ClpJijLr. This part is introduced by
a treatise on ablution and other preparations for
prayer.
The second part (fol. 100».), is^W CjIjLc iiL-o,
treats briefly of the remaining duties, according to
their occurrence in the course of the year. It begins
with Eamadan, the time for fasting, and concludes
with Rajab. The rites of the pilgrimage are mentioned
under Dhu'l-hijjah. *

The work concludes (fol. 213».) with three sets of
prayers, recommended for special times, viz. morning
and evening prayers, prayers for each day of the week,
and such for the twelve hours of the day. For parti-
culars the author refers to his ^Lxs^l .
There are added (fol. 231) a charm, rules for the

he is not willing to follow his bad example, in depreciat-

The author says in his short preface that the chief
object of the present treatise is to prove the existence
of God and his attributes. He refers to the system
of the Scholastics, and to that of the earlier Philoso-
phers ; he points out the differences between the two
sects, and decides, of course, in favour of the Shi 'ah.

the same style, a special and detailed treatise on that
subject. Accordingly, he gives a series of discussions,
all introduced by the words J^j^\ ^_-^-Js:■= ^^f, and
subdivided according to the subjects into sections, which
are usually inscribed . . d /»^^1 d J-=J . The above
title does not occur in the work. The author scarcely
quotes any authorities, but he mentions once (fol. 263e.)

<Lif^^\ i-j^AKiJl (LJblxJl), and reviles the Omayyades
and Abbasides, etc. He then proceeds to say that he had
observed that, under the constant oppression to which
they were hitherto exposed, many, weak Shi'ahs had of
late become doubtful as to their right of cursing the
Sunnites. He therefore intends to prove, not only from
the Koran, but even from their own traditions, that
they are liable to be cursed.
The work consists of an introduction (i»jJL<), on the
meaning of cursing, and of seven sections, which contain
arguments in support of the above assertion. Five of
them refer to passages of the Koran, one to the Sunnah,
and the seventh to the Shi 'ah (Imamiyah) tradition.

first, that he had already written several other works on
theology (specified in a note on the margin as 4_-jli^

relate that, a.h. 877, he made the pilgrimage toMakkah,
and after it visited ^iJ {i.e. Madlnah, according to a
marginal note). He then went into 'Irak, and visited
the tombs of the Imams there, and finally travelled into
Khurasan, in order to pay his devotions to the tomb of
'All Eida, at Mashhad. On his way thither he com-
menced the treatise ^^ JLmII S\j, at the request of a
travelling companion, and completed it after his arrival
at Mashhad. Having subsequently made there the
acquaintance of a distinguished Saiyid and descendant
of 'All Rida, named Ghiyath al-din Muhsin b. Muham-
mad, he was induced by him to write a commentary on
the said treatise. He completed this commentary, as
we learn from the conclusion, on Wednesday, 17tli
Dhu'l-hijjah, 878, at the mansion of the Saiyid.

The author observed that the criticisms of Kushji, a

the opposite party should have the last word in the

It appears that the meetings took place at Mashhad,
where the author lived with Saiyid Muhsin, the same
whom he mentions in the preface of XI., where he
describes his journey to Mashhad, A.n. 878. The first
and third meetings took place in the mansion of the said
Saiyid, the second on the iXoJl j*^, or 10th Dhu'l-
hijjah, in the Academy of Sultan Shahrukh Mlrza.
The altercation chiefly turned on the Imamate and the
Chalifate, and concluded with the defeat of the oppo-
nent, who, as the author asserts, had at last almost

b. Muhammad b. al-Nu'man, commonly called Mujld
(d. A.H. 413; cf. Tfisl, p. riF), extracted from two
works, viz., the written record of his lectures and dis-
putations ((_^Ur*), and his ^^la^lj u.^^ (men-
tioned by Tusl, p. rie). The compiler, who does not
give his name, made this selection for the use of a
friend. It would appear that he was a contemporary
of Mufld, and that the latter was still alive, when
this selection was made. Probably it is the work
of Abu Ja'fae Ttrsi (d. a.h. 460).

The beginning of a treatise on the connexion bet-ween
the Infinite and the finite, or God and the world, by
Bakib Damad. The title, which does not occur here,
appears to be ^-iiM*.*]^ \s\jA\ (see II.).
Begins: 'Uillj ^\ C<M:>r. tlJ> ^y\ ^^jJ 'lij!

of Imam Husain.' He gives, as an authorization, the
whole line of his predecessors from whom the mantle
descended to himself. He had received several invest-
ments of the present kind. That which he mentions
first, the "mantle" of his Shaikh, Jamal al-din Yusuf
'Abbasl Kassar, had, among others, passed through the
hands of Shibli and Junaid, and originated with 'All ;
another, which he had received from two Shaikhs,
originated with TJwais, and two with al-Khidr.'

The preface begins: <^;l5 jjj t^jJl ^ iX^s'l
The author states that this collection consists of
about 3000 sentences (J^), viz. 500 cyLLiil, or
sentences mixed with quotations from the Koran;'
500 t:yli-.4w.a; , or traditions which, on account of their
conciseness, ai-e preceded by an introductory and ex-
planatory phrase, rhymed with them ; ' 300 sentences
of Ihn 'Atd (see below, no. 696), and 100 of his
"disciple" (jj»-^", i.e. according to a marginal note,

are about 160 in number. Their lives are related in
the author's 'LjyA^y 'Ui*I\ CuliLtj . Ten are men-

principal Shaikh.
The rules are of two kinds, either such as are con-
tained explicitly in the religious law [iJ^.'u^\), and
general, or such as are derived from the law indirectly,
and peculiar to the author and his school. The author
asserts the orthodoxy of his writings, and especially of
the present work. He also mentions the incident, in
consequence of which it had been suspected of heresy.'
He further states that he had already composed two
works on the same subject, viz. j^^i.*!! (i—ajlLl) t-_."li^
which was appreciated by his followers, and js^^^
which was found rather too austere.

which Saiyid Ildtim b. Ahmad al-Ahdal Husainl of
Mokha (d. in Muharram, 1013) wrote, A.n. 1004, to
the author of this Commentary, who was his pupil.
The name of the latter occurs on fol. Abv., viz., 'Abd

'Alawl family, was bom A.n. 978, and died a.h. 1038,
at Ahmadabad.' He wrote this commentary after the
death of Hatim, a.h. 1016, and entitled it (fol. 2v.)

writings and poems; also another short letter of his,
addressed to Shaikh 'Abd al-wahhab Hindi, with
ample comments; and (fol. 41f.) a fuU account of his

first words of the letter are (fol. 53) : ^^ V. '^ ^'*^

An Abridgment of Ibn KhalUkdn^i Biographical
Dictionary, made by his son MtrsA, for his private use,
during the years 701 and 702 a.h.
This is the author's rough copy, consisting origi-
nally of two volumes. The earlier portion of the first
volume, however, is lost. It begins now with the
eighteenth quire {i^\^), which has been inscribed
Jlill ^1 . ' The first article is 'All b. Aflah (no. 487,
ed. "Wiistenfeld). It ends with the thirty-second quire,
in the notice of Zamakhshart (ed. Wiistenfeld, no. 721),
the last portion being also lost. The second volume
(fol. 151), (Jlill JiLsT*^!, has a particular title, written
by the author himself. It begins with the fourth
fascicle of the original work (al-Mu'izz = no. 737, ed.
Wiistenf.), and contains the rest of the book. It con-
sists of twenty-three quires, but it has now several
defects, especially in the twelfth and thirteenth quires ;
some leaves of the latter are also misplaced in binding.
The author states at the beginning of the second
volume, that he began it on Sunday, 2nd Dhu'l-hijjah,
701, at Balbec, and he adds m the postscript (fol. 33 li;.
•J\ Aj <dll ujy Arl ^j>, ^y* IfrJ^ ;_s^^ t-^), that
ho continued his work at Damascus, where he arrived
from Balbec on Sunday, 20th Eabl' I., 702, and com-
pleted it on Sunday, 3rd Kabl' II. of the same year.
At the end is written the epilogue of Ibn EhaUikan, to
which the author added, in a second postscript, a short
memoir of his father and an account of his own work.
This rough copy is written in a hurried hand, without
diacritical points, and is often difficult to read.
On the title-page are the signatures of seroral recent owners and
readers. One of these, 'Abd al-rahmdn Ijtalabi, whose seal is also
added, wrote the title to the first volume.

from numerous kindred works, and especially from the
TabaMi of Ibn al-Salah (d. a.h. 643) and Tifllsl ('Omar
b. Bundar, d. a.h. 672). The latter he incorporated
wholly in his own work. Although he also terms it

Personal narrative of the travels of IlyIs b. Hanna

Europe, and in Peru (Sjj^^-Jl) and Mexico (LiiXj^.i),
during a.d. 1668-1683; followed by a historical ac-

The author set out from Baghdad, a.d. 1668, on a
pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and afterwards went to
Europe by Iskenderun and Venice. In a.d. 1675 he
started for South America, whence he returned to
Spain in 1683. He appears to have been stUl resident
in Spain when he completed the present work.
The account of Peru (foil. 61 sqq.) refers to the con-
quest and the early history of that country, and was
compiled from Spanish books. It is divided into seven-
teen sections ( J^), The last of these contains a report
presented by Padre Francisco Eomero {)jr*Jj)> of the

An abridgment of an old -work on Geography, of
■which two other copies are mentioned in Cat. Bibl.
Spronger. 2, and Cat. Mus. Brit. 182 (cf. Add. et Corr.
772). As is already stated there, the original work
was written near the end of the reign of the KhaUf al-
Mu'tadid billah (d. a.h. 289) ; and Sprenger's assertion,
that we have here an abstract of the (j^jJJl 4_>li$
of Ibn Ai-EAKin Hamadani (Abu Bakr Ahmad b.
Muhammad b. Ishak, who flourished at the end of the
third century), is especially confirmed by a comparison
of the passages quoted from that author in Yakut's
Dictionary. Cf. Wiistenfeld's edition, i. v, and the
index, vi. 300 ; and also Sprenger's Post- und Eeise-
routen des Orients, p. xvii.
Sprenger is, however, wrong, in ascribing this
abstract to one Shatri or Sharzi; he read ^j^]]
or ^ylJi by mistake, instead of (Cjj-jiiii," and
'All b. Ja'far b. Ahmad Shaizarl (from Shaizar in
Syria) was merely the scribe, who, a.h. 431, wrote
(t_ -,rS) the copy, from which the Cod. Sprenger. was
taken. This appears from the colophon of the latter,
which is given by Chwolson in a letter published in
the Zeitschrift der Deutschen morgenl. Gesellschaft,
xxii. 241. The present copy, too, must have been
derived from the MS. of Shaizarl, whose name, also
spelt Shazri, is inscribed on it as the author of the book
(see above). No mention is made of him in the British

abridgment was made by the author himself, but it
is very probable.
It begins with some general aphorisms, as follows :
.•J\ ci^^Uut f^j\ (^lUl ,_^-ac;; j^ J-ai!l Jlji JU
These are followed by some remarks of the author con-
cerning his present task, which are to be found in Cat.
Mus. Brit. 182 (^'J\ ^^}c^ ^ j**^)- Sprenger and others
have already observed that Ibn al-Faklh was more of
a literary character, than an exact geographer. The
plan of his work is, at least as far as the present
abridgment goes, neither systematic nor in any way
complete. It is, however, rich in details. After a few
introductory chapters, on the formation of the earth
(fol. 2), and on the seas (fol. 3), and a comparison
between the Chinese and Indian nations, there comes
a description of the Arabian peninsula (foil. 5».-12).
Next follow two literary digressions, viz. (fol. 12)
•^^ {J^ dj^'^S dj^^ (J' '^^ "-^^ ti mVi aiid
(fol. 14) i—)\js.1>\j hjii\ _j>^ J. After these, the

(fol. 25) the Berber country y^\ Ji\jt\ ; (fol. 28)
Syria and Palestine ; (fol. 36, a special chapter on the

A concise Commentary on the Mu'allahdt, ascribed

called Ibn- Kaisan, the grammarian (d. probably
4..H. 320).' It is mentioned neither in the Fihriat (ed.
Flugel, Ar), nor inH.Kh.
This commentary is intended for the use of beginners.
It gives rather short explanations of obscure words,
and a paraphrase of each verse. The former are intro-
duced by^*»iJi, and the latter by ^^^ijt*]!. Special
grammatical questions are occasionally discussed in
an appendix, which the superficial reader is advised
to skip.

The commentary appears to be an abridgment of
Tabrhi's commentary.' As in the latter, there follow
hero three other poems, which are not unfrequently
added to the " Seven," viz. : —
a. Foil. 204-212. The Kasldah in <— > of 'Abid
B. al-Abkas, which, as is also stated here, stands
occasionally in the place of the Mu'allakah of al-
Harith. It is preceded by a historical introduction
on the authority of Muhammad b. 'Amr Shaibani,
which is also found in Tabrizl.'
b. Foil. 213-222. The Kasldah in J of al-Na-
BiOHAH, or no. 1 of the Dlwan, as edited by H. Deren-
bourg (Paris, 1869). It was published by De Sacy
in his Chrestomathie Arabe, vol. ii.

m. Foil. 238-270. A Commentary on the Kasldah
j^s^\ L>^1, of al-Husain b. 'All Tughrd'i (d. about
A.H. 514). This is an abridgment (,^^,a-i'^) of the
commentary of Jamal al-din Muhammad b. Musa
Damiri (d. a.h. 808). The author gives his name at
the end as Muhammad b. al-Khalil K^aruni, of

II. Foil. 78-84. A Commentary on Ka'b b. Zuhair'i
Kasldah in praise of Muhammad, jIjuj l::^Ij .
This commentary is different from that published
by Lette and Freytag. Tabrizl (d. a.h. 502) is quoted
at the beginning of the introduction, on the authority
of his pupil Jawaliki (d.
539): :^_iS\ U^l
yjj s?-\ ^^ '<-j>jji^ jy-^ ^' jks-jUt J^l!! *Ulil
Ji <CfU^ ^Uj <)JJ1 isjj j.^\ ^^ J>-*jr«. The
relation of Tabriz! is founded on the following Jsndd :
Abu Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan Jauharl (d. a.h. 454),
Abu 'Omar Muhammad b. al-'Abb^s b. Zakartya b.
Haiyawaih (date, 1st Safar, 327),
al-'Abbas b. Zakarlya b. Haiyawaih,
'AbdaUah b. 'Amr,
Ibrahim b. al-Mundhir,
al-Hajjaj Muzanl,' son of al-Eaklbah b. 'Abd al-
rahman b. Ka'b, and great-grandson of the poet.
This commentary, therefore, may be the work of
Tabrizl, or rather an abridgment of it. Cf. Cat. Mus.

II. Foil. 7-12. A short Commentary on an erotic
Kasidah, called lU-sJl , or the Orphan ; by 'Abd al-
HiLKK B. 'Abd al-latif Zubairi.
The Kasidah begins :
_^^\ ^\^\ <_iU.^U ^^ ^^\^ % %Jo c)\j\
It is stated at the beginning of the commentary,
that the poem was called the Orphan, because the
author of it was not known. It is also mentioned there
that two verses of it are quoted in Hariri's preface
to his Makdmdt. Now in the commentaiy on that
work,' these verses are attributed to 'Adi b. al-Eika',
'Amill, a contemporary of Jarir,^ and to the same
the whole Kasidah is ascribed in a note at the end of
this MS. But the two verses given in the said com-
mentary as those immediately preceding the quotation
do not agree with the present text. It is probable,
therefore, that the Kasidah is supposititious, and only
framed on the metre and rhyme of the old verses
found in Hariri, which have been put at the end of
the composition.
III. Foil. 16-136. ZAtrzANi's Commentary on the
Mu'allakdt, with glosses.
The Mu'allahah of 'Amr stands here after that
of Antarah. Some of the verses have been omitted ;
hence arose some confusion in the text (fol. 125).

added a list of contents and various notes.

and again to Ibn Jinn!. The other copy had been
verified by Mutanabbi' himself. This text was sub-
sequently collated with three copies, which were
apparently arranged on the chronological principle.

portions, according to the connexion of the verses.
The commentary is very circumstantial at the be-
ginning. It consists usually of three sections : explana-
tion of words, grammatical analysis (<_-»|-c^l), and
general interpretation (ci^-Jt ^.jt^).
This copy is rather carelessly executed, and only the
earlier portion of it has been emended. A Persian
translation of the verses is added on the margia, by
a different hand. The writing is much injured by
