Notes
This manuscript, entitled A Collection of Mystical and Theological Treatises, contains four separate works. The first is a commentary on the Awarif al-Ma`arif (Knowledge of Knowledge) of Suhrawardī , a well-known work on Sufi doctrine in 63 chapters. The explanations, which are partly in Persian and partly in Arabic, are on selected words and passages of the text. In his introduction (ff. 1v-3v) the author states that he used the translation of his grandfather, Ẓāhir al-Dīn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʻAlī al-Shīrāzī, d. 1316 (Zahir al-Din ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʻAlī al-Shīrāzī, d. 1316 (2r), praising it as the best translation of the original work. The same translation is also mentioned by Jāmī, 1414-1492 (Jami) Jāmī, 1414-1492 in his Nafaḥāt ʼal-ʼuns (Nafaḥāt ʼal-ʼuns). The second is on a number of traditions from the al-ṣaḥīḥ (al-Sahih of Bukhārī, Muhammad ibn Ismāʻīl, 810-870 Bukhārī, Muhammad ibn Ismāʻīl, 810-870 (al-Bukhari, Ibn Abdullah Muhammad ibn اسمعيل) The third is a work entitled Kitāb al-Qaṣd ilā Allāh, which contains a collection of al-Shādhilī’s mystical sayings organized into 57 chapters C.E., have not survived and only the texts collected by his disciples have come down to us, notably those included in the Laṭāʾif al-Minan by Ibn ʻAṭāʼ Allāh, Aḥmad ibn Muhammad, d. The importance of this manuscript lies both in the text it has preserved and in its arrangement Kitāb al-Qaṣd ilā Allāh with those transmitted by Ibn ʿAṭāʾ Allāh and Ibn al-Sabbāgh reveals that this manuscript contains unedited content which has not been collected in other works a source that predates the aforementioned works of al-Shādhilī |
