Sample Text	Cosmography, mainly plagiarized from the Jāmiʻ al-funūn wa-salwat al-maḥzūn of Najm al-Dīn al-Ḥarrānī (ca.732/1332). Authorship of the Kharīdah is disputed. It is often attributed to Abū Ḥafṣ Sirāj al-Dīn ʻUmar ibn Muḥammad Ibn al-Wardī (d.861/1457) whose name al-Ziriklī gives as al-Wurūdī, though in this ms. it is ascribed to Zayn al-Dīn Ibn al-Wardī (d.749/1349). It has also been attributed to an ʻUmar Ibn al-Wardī al-Subkī. (see EI2 "Ibn al- Wardī , Sirādj al-Dīn Abū Ḥafṣ ʻUmar" and Sellheim, R. Materialen zur arabischen Literaturgeschichte, t. I, no. 49 for more on this matter of disputed authorship). The text concludes with excerpts from a poem on the resurrection, a table for numerological calculations of dominance using names, and verses on the game of chess.
