Summary note
Commentary on Majmaʻ al-Baḥrayn by Ibn al-Sāʻātī (d. 696/1296), a compendium on Ḥanafī law, based on the Mukhtaṣar by al-Qudūrī (d. 428/1037) and the Manẓūmah by al-Nasafī (d. 537/1142). The beginning of this copy is supplied by a later hand.
Notes
Ms. codex.
Title from fol. 4b. The title appears as "Kitāb Sharḥ Majmaʻ Ibn Malak" in an ownership statement on fol. 4a, and as "Sharḥ Majmaʻ al-Baḥrayn" on the tail of the text block.
Incipit: يا من لا يحوط كمال كماله نطاق وصف الفصحاء ولا ينوط بادراك ادراكه افكار فحول الفضلاء نحمدك ... وبعد يقول الضعيف ... عبد اللطيف بن عبد العزيز بن امين الدين ختم الله بالخير عمله ... انّ بعض اخوانى وخلص خلانى فى اثناء الصحبة من البين قالوا ان مجمع البحرين كتاب بديع ... [5أ] ... الحمد لله ابتداء المصنّف فى اول تصنيفه بالتحميد اقتداء بكتاب الله تعالى فى التحميد
Explicit: واجازها محمد حملا لكلامه الى الصرف الى مصالحه تصحيحا له والله اعلم تم الكتاب
Physical description: 27 lines per page. Written in medium small naskh in black ink with use of red for headings and to overline the commented text. Light cream paper with laid and chain lines, and pulp, visible. Marginal annotations apparently by the same hand as the main text. Fol. 3-39 and 407 are later additions and replacements, on European paper with watermark, written in medium small casual naskh with elements of taʻlīq, with 25 lines per page. Fol. 1-2 apparently more recent addition, with table of contents. Another table of contents appears on fol. 3a-b, and a table of contents mentioning the titles of each Kitāb on fol. 4a. The quires (mainly quinions) have catchwords on the verso of each leaf. Several inscriptions on fol. 406a-b. Three inscriptions mentioning birth dates (1254 H., 1261 H., 1270 H.) on fol. 407a. Foliation in red ink using Arabic numerals.
Inscription in Arabic script on a label pasted on the upper cover: "... ? thānī 321". Inscription in Arabic script on a label pasted on the pastedown of the upper cover: "Ḥāʼ 969".
Origin: Copy completed during the night of Wednesday 10 Dhū al-Qaʻdah 85- ("wa-khamsīn") by Ismaʻīl ibn Maḥmūd al-Qarawī (colophon, fol. 406a).
Binding note
Green cloth cover on what appears to be brown leather over pasteboards for upper and lower covers, fore-edge flap and envelope flap. European paper with watermark endpaper.
