Notes
This composite manuscript features one Persian and three Arabic texts, collectively entitled Majmū‘ah-'i ‘Uṣūl-i Fiqh (Compendium on the Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence). A scribe named al-Sayyid Muḥammad ‘Alī bin al-Mawlavī Aḥmad ‘Alī completed the first two texts at the end of 29 Ramaz̤ān 1244 AH (late Mar.–early Apr. 1829 CE) , while another named Amīn al-Dīn Ahmad ibn Ḥāfiẓ Muḥammad Sa‘d Allāh al-Ṣadīqī al-Qarshī copied the last two undated works. Subsequent owner Colonel George William Hamilton (1807-1868) acquired the two manuscripts, then evidently had them repaired and rebound together in one volume.
Sample Text
(basmalla) leaf 5p (folio 5b): A hymn whose principles are strengthened by the rules of Yazidi infam, and whose branches are similar to the fruits of Ehsan's kindness.
