Notes
Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 536 Origin: According to colophon on fol.40a, copied ("katabtuhu") in Shīrāz by al-ʻArshī, 746 [1345 or 1346]. Accompanying materials: a. Inventory cataloguing slip in hand of Winifred Smeaton Thomas. -- b. Acquisitions slip from Yahuda Former shelfmark: From front flyleaf and lower cover label, "IL 359a" (likely supplied by Yahuda, see acquisitions slip). Binding: Covered in blue cloth without boards; Type III (without flap); modern, certainly not original. Support: non-European laid paper; laid lines sometimes run vertically, sometimes horizontally; no chain lines visible; 20 laid lines in 17mm; watermarked European laid paper is used for the substituted leaf at fol.28 as well as for the repairs at the top of fol.40; chain lines spaced roughly 21 mm. apart and running horizontally; watermark may be pot with grapes. Decoration: Text of fol.12a is rubricated. Script: Mainly naskh with elements of taʻlīq; medium Persian hand with words descending onto the baseline, partially pointed and with rare vocalization, somewhat difficult to read; fol.21 and fol.28 are in a small, neat Persian naskh. Layout: Written in 21 lines per page except for the inserted folia (fol. 21 and fol. 28) which range from 23-26 lines per page. Collation: iv, 4 V (40) ; chiefly quinions; catchwords present; pagination added later in pencil, Western numerals. Colophon: "Scribal," rectangular, reads: "كتبته بشيراز سنة 746 العرشي غفر الله له" Explicit: "والفطنة والذكاء يشعر [كذا] بسرعة الادراك [؟] لما غاب عن المدرك والمعرفة قد [كذا] سبق نكرة فلا يمنع عن اطلاق شيء منه الا شيء مما ذكرناه فان حقق لفظ لا يوهم اصلا بين المتفاهمين ولم يرد الشرع بالمنع منه فانا نجوز اطلاقه قطعا والله اعلم بالصواب" Incipit: "قال الشيخ الامام حجة الاسلام ابو حامد محمد بن محمد بن محمد الغزالي نعمة الله ورضوانه عليه فالحمد لله المتفرد بكبريائه وعظمته المتوحد بتعاليه وصمديته الذي قصر اجنحة العقول ... بعد فقد سألني اخ في الله يعين [؟] في الدين اجابته شرح معاني اسماء الله الحسنى ..." Title from recto of first flyleaf. Ms. codex. Numerous notes on fol.1a and fol.40b; the former may be prayers; the latter contains what might be described as a hand-drawn seal, as well as a series of numbers and calculations the purpose of which is not at all clear; collation mark "بلغ" on fol.6b; marginal correction fol.35b "فهذا الكتاب لا يحتمله صح"; pages have been trimmed with loss of some marginalia.. Treatise on the divine attributes, or ninety-nine names of God, and whether men may imitate them. Description provided by Noah Gardiner.
