الاحاطة فى تاريخ غرناطة تأريخ العبر فى خبر من عبر الضياء Scanned from a replacement document: R 71364. First verse: ابارق لاح فى الظـلمـاءِ كـالـعـلم ام نار حىّ بدت ليلا على علم. The present ms. contains the first thirty-six sections of the work which, by the order of the chapters and their content, resembles compilations of the same genre in prose. The copyist, author of the preface, which is written in a very sophisticated style, tells us that this poem was composed by a high-ranking soldier in the Ottoman army, Colonel ʿOthmân Bey, son of Colonel ʿAlî Bey. This preface was written during the author's lifetime, in the month of Shaʿbân 1029 (July 1620 AD). The first seventy-eight leaves of this ms. are covered, on the margins and between the lines, with a certain number of extracts written in a small oriental script, very tight and poorly formed, to the point of being illegible in several places. These are documents relating to Muslim history, from the second year of the Hegira, until the conquest of Egypt by Noûr al-Dîn, which a scholar brought together for his own use. One of the works which provided these extracts is the تاريخ العبر فى خبر من عبر by Dsahabî. On fol. 65 v°, we find, with some modifications, the account of Bahâ al-Dîn ibn Schaddâd, concerning the battle of Ḥiṭṭîn, which led to the capture of Jerusalem by Saladin. The following pages contain extracts relating to the Muslims of Spain; there is question of Ibn Mardanisch (Martinus), prince of Zaragoza, of the death of Sultan Yoûsof, under the walls of Santarem; then a certain maritime product, from which magnificent fabrics were woven. These stories are followed by other extracts, relating to events in Spain until the beginning of the 8th century AH. On fol. 83 we find a third series of extracts relating to Spain, which appear to have been borrowed from the work of Lisan al-Dîn ibn al-Khaṭîb, vizier of Granada, entitled الاحاطة فى تاريخ غرناطة. On fol. 95 and 96, we read several notes, notably the account of the conquest of Candia (كانديا) by the Ottoman sultan Ibrâhîm, in 1055 AH (1645 A.D. The date ١٠٩٩ was written by mistake for ١٠٥٥). Other notes, which appear to be in a more modern hand, relate to certain events which took place in Malta, India, Morocco and Tunisia, during the 17th and 18th centuries. On fol. 265 begins a new series of extracts, taken from a philological work whose title, somewhat faded, seems to read, الضيـاء الـمجلّـى “The Light that illuminates”. The endpaper at the beginning contains a long, almost illegible passage, where we nevertheless manage to decipher a note on the ethnic adjective كـومى title of ʿAbd al-Mouʾmin, the Almohad; another on the word جفر, used to designate a certain collection of predictions; we also read the name of Moḥammad ibn abî ʿÂmir (Almanṣoûr), as well as the names of several cities in Spain. The back of the same sheet contains a fragment which appears to relate to the history of the first Umayyads. On the back of fol. 287 we read an epistle in which we examine a question of dogma. On fol. 81 is a note from Soyoûṭî (ʿAbd al-Raḥmân ibn abî Bakr), dated 868 AH, and at the head of fol. 79, a note dated the same year in which this volume was written, certifying that one Al-Maqqarî (المـقـرى) Aḥmad ibn Moḥammad, a native of the Maghreb, who had settled in Cairo, gave his approval to the work. On fol. 142 v° and 143 r° there is a drawing representing Mohammed's sandals. Scanning from a substitute document: R 71364. Scanning done from a replacement document: R 71364.
