Notlar	About: Zoological dictionary, with descriptions of animals arranged in alphabetical order. Text followed by an excerpt from a work of ʻAlī ibn Muḥammad al-Ujhūrī (1559 or 60-1656) and excerpt from "Manāfiʻ al-aʻshāb." \| Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 122 Origin: As appears in colophon on fol.471a/p.942, composition finished Rajab 773 [January 1372]. As also appears in colohon on fol.471a/p.941, transcription of this copy executed by the owner, Muḥammad Sulaymān ("wa-kāna al-farāgh min kitābat hādhihi al-nuskhah...wa-dhālik ʻalá yad mālikihā") with transcription finished Jumādá II 1110 [Dec 1698 - Jan 1699]. A note following the colophon provides details on the exemplar and its exemplar. Former shelfmark: British Museum, London "No. 53. Hayat al-hayawan." Binding: Pasteboards covered in red leather; Type II binding (with flap); board linings / doublures in decorative paper (block-stamped with vegetal design of large blossoms, leaves and berries in blue and red), hinges in red leather ; upper and lower covers carry stamped central mandorla, pendants, cornerpieces, and triangular pieces, all carrying floral compositions, as well as wide border in a series of zig-zag stamps, all over once 'gold'-painted, now white onlays; cover design continues on flap; now sewn in white thread, two stations, now very tightly bound; worked chevron endbands in red and blue over white, excellent conditions; overall in fairly good condition with minor abrasion, lifting of leather, etc. Support: European laid paper with 10 laid lines per cm. (horizontal), chain lines spaced 22-25 mm. apart (vertical), and watermarks of two circles surmounted by cross itself surmounted by crown (see p.6, 152, 196, etc.) and two circles surmounted by cross flanked by lions (see p.32, 52, 342, etc.), quite sturdy though fairly thin and crisp, extremely well-burnished to glossy; flyleaves of heavier European (specifically Venetian made by the Galvani firm) laid paper with crescent in shield (smiling human profile) watermark and "V G" countermark (compare Walz, The Paper trade of Egypt and the Sudan, 88-9). Decoration: Fine illuminated headpiece (ʻunwān) on fol.1b, semi-circular piece mainly gold with blue and red accents in vegetal pattern, evokes the miḥrāb; cartouche within lower panel of headpiece blank, flanked by floral designs; rule-borders in red, blue and gold on incipit page and facing page, red rule-borders thereafter throughout; textual dividers in the form of three dots in red and black; text rubricated. Script: Naskh ; clear Egyptian hand in a medium line; mainly serifless though with occasional right-sloping serifs on free-standing alif, compactly filling the line, adhering to baseline, curvilinear descenders, foot / tail of lām long and flat, pointing mainly in distinct dots, though curves and strokes occasionally used for two and three dots, alif maqṣūrah often pointed as yāʼ, kāf mashqūqah preferred (even final kāf). Layout: Written in 33 lines per page; frame-ruled (impression of misṭarah evident). Collation: Appears to be a very regular sequence of quinions followed by a binion, interrupted only by a ternion followed by a binion at fol.41 and a binion at fol.149; middle of the quire marks in the form of dashes in upper corner of the right-hand leaf and lower corner of the left-hand leaf (see fol. 4b-5a, fol.24b-25a, etc.); catchwords present; pagination in pencil, Western numerals. Colophon: "Scribal," rectangular and triangular, reads "وكفي قال مؤلفه رحمه الله تعلى وكان الفراغ من مسودته في شهر رجب الفرد سنة ثلاث وسبعين وسبعمائة وكان الفراغ من كتابة هذه النسخة في يوم الاثنين المبارك قبل الظهر في شهر جمادى الثاني من شهور سنة عشر ومائة والف من الهحرة النبوية على صاحبها افضل الصلاة واتم التسليم وحسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل وذلك على يد مالكها الفقير المعترف بالذنب والتقصير السيد محمد سليمان ش" Explicit: "هذا ما انتهى الينا الغرض مما يحصل به في هذا الشان الاكتفا وختم بملك النحل الذي استخرج الله منه الشجاعة ... الذي منه الشجاعة تقتفي وصلى الله وسلم على سيد المرسلين محمد المصطفى ورضي الله عن اله و [...؟] وصحبه اهل الفضل والوفا وحسبنا [؟] الله" Incipit: "الحمد لله الذي شرف نوع الانسان بالاصغرين القلب واللسان وفضله على سائر الحيوان بنعمتي النطق والبيان ... وبعد فهذا كتاب لم يسالني احد تصنيفه ولا كلفت القريحة تاليفه... واستخرت الله تعالى وهو الكريم المنان في وضع كتاب في هذا الشان وسميته حياة الحيوان ... ورتبته على حروف المعجم ... باب الهمزة" Title from 'title page' fol.1a. Ms. codex. Bookplate of British Museum, London on inner front cover, "No. 53. Hayat al-hayawan."; circular seal impression with figure of goat/gazelle in purple ink as well as inscription "227" in Western numerals on recto of front flyleaf; numerous ownership statements on fol.1a (among them notes of sale or purchase) mention such owners as Aḥmad ibn Yaʻqūb al-Ḥakīm and his children, including his daughters Āminah and ʻAtīqah [?], as well as al-Sayyid ʻAbd Allāh ibn ʻAlī ibn Yaḥyá al-Shāmī and his daughter Maymūnah, see: "تعين هذا الكتاب الجليل للشريفتين آمنة وعتيقة بنات السيد احمد الحكيم بالقسمة الصحيحة ... السيد احمد لكتبه بمرقوم شرعي ثم وقع البيع من الشريفتين [...؟] لهذا الكتاب الى السيد عبد الله ابن علي بن يحيى الشامي بثمن معلوم صار قبضهن باطلاعي ثم تعين بالقسمة الشرعية للشريفة ميمونة بنت عبد الله بن علي بن يحيى الشامي ... كتبه السيد محمد بن [...؟] لطف الله به"; circular waqf-seal impression on fol.1a and fol.471a in the name of al-Ḥājj ʻAzzat Pāshā reads, "وقف هذا الكتاب المرحوم المغفور الحاج عزت پاشا"; waqf statements in the upper margin of fol.99b, fol.147b, fol.155b, fol.255b, and fol.398b have been covered with pasted paper, but appear to read: "وقف على ذرية السيد احمد الحكيم..."; study note at close on p.944; many marginal corrections marked with "ظ" for conjecture (fol.343b), inverted caret (fol.9b), and "ن" for nuskhah (fol. 18b, etc.); "ن" also appears as a sign of clarification for cacographic errors (see fol.8a, etc.); numerous notabilia (side-heads) such as "قف وتأمل" and (see fol.29b, etc.); seal of Solomon inscription (with greatest name of God / al-Ism al-Aʻẓam) on fol.470b.
