Notes
Ms. composite codex., Title from inscription on 'title page' (p.3)., Incipit: [Sharḥ Īsāghūjī] "Praise be to God whose existence is necessary and whose existence is necessary and whose counterpart is possible other than Him and others... And after the book of the Sheikh Imam, the role model of the wise, Atheer al-Din al-Abhari... famous for the Isagogi when some of the brothers were difficult for him and he overruled him [? and for some of them] he was available [mutaysara] I wanted to write By seeking papers to remove its difficulty and spread its ease...”, Colophon: [Ḥāshiyah ʻalá Sharḥ Īsāghūjī] “The book was completed with the help of King Al-Wahhab, its writer, Kashfa [?] bin Isa...”; [Ḥāshiyat al-Bardaʻī] "Scribal", triangular, reads "It was completed with God's help and good fortune, and may God's blessings be upon our Master Muhammad and his entire family. The completion of the editing of this copy occurred in the last month of Muharram of the months of the year eight hundred and ninety-seven. It was completed in the year 1897, Collation: i, V-1 (9), 2 V(29), IV (37), 2 V(57), VI (69), i ; chiefly quinions; catchwords present ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization (includes flyleaves)., Layout: Written in 15, 16 and 19 lines per page ; frame-ruled., Script: Naskh ; three fine Turkish or Persian hands; Sharḥ Īsāghūjī and opening Ḥāshiyat al-Bardaʻī (through p.76) in a fine naskh, serifless with slight effect of tilt to the left and of words descending to baseline, free assimilation of letters (initial kāf and following alif, point of final nūn with bowl, alif lām of definite article, etc.), somewhat elongated in the vertical, shaqq of kāf often sweeping dramatically upwards, pointing (of multiple dots) mainly in strokes rather than distinct dots; second ḥāshiyah (of Qarajah Aḥmad, pp. 80-114) in a compact and delicate naskh, partially but irregularly seriffed with marked tilt to the left, mainly curvilinear descenders (rightward descenders tapered and sweeping somewhat dramatically); final ḥāshiyah (also of al-Bardaʻī, pp. 120-140) in a bold, compact naskh, serifless with effect of tilt to the left (mainly) and of words descending to baseline, some extension of horizontal strokes, freely ligatured., Decoration: Keywords and abbreviation symbols rubricated ; written area and occasional marginalia surrounded by red rule-border in opening three works; textual dividers in the form of red discs., Support: non-European laid paper of perhaps several types; Opening type with 9 laid lines per cm. (vertical) and chain lines (horizontal) grouped in threes with 10-11 mm. between chains and 39 mm. Between groups, possible group of four at 27 mm. from adjacent group of three ; Another type with 7 lines laid per cm. (vertical, quite distinct) and chain lines (horizontal) grouped in threes (and perhaps fours) with 10 mm. between chains and 28-40 mm. between groups (see p.80, 94, etc.) ; at close, a type very similar to the opening if not the same with 8 laid lines per cm. (vertical) and chain lines (horizontal) grouped in threes (and perhaps fours) with 9-10 mm. between chains and 39-42 mm. between groups; all thin and transluscent though sturdy, well-burnished., Binding: Pasteboards covered in marbled paper (mainly in light blue, salmon, light yellow) with black textile over spine (quarter binding); Type III binding (without flap); pastedowns and flyleaves in purple wove paper; reset in white thread, six stations; overall in fair condition with some abrasion, deterioration of textile, etc., Former shelfmark: From front flyleaf (p.1) and spine label "IL 183" (likely supplied by Yahuda, see acquisitions slip)., Accompanying materials: Acquisitions slip from Yahuda., Origin: As appears in colophon at conclusion of final gloss, transcription completed ("wa-qad waqaʻa al-farāgh min taḥrīr hādhihi al-nuskhah...”) end of Muḥarram 897 [December 1491], which would imply quite an early copy. Other sections appear to be contemporary with this final gloss., Stamped in purple ink on front flyleaf (p.1) "22 July 1906" ; numerous interlinear and marginal glosses and corrections, a few in decorative geometric shapes (see p.54)., Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl.

Sample Text
Fine composite copy of the commentary by Ḥusām al-Dīn Ḥasan al-Kātī (d.1359) on the Īsāghūjī, a collection of definitions for terms used in logic adapted from the Isagoge of Porphyry by Athīr al-Dīn al-Abharī (d. between 1263-5), followed in the same hand by the gloss [lacking preface] upon al-Kātī's commentary by al-Bardaʻī (d.1521), next the gloss of Qarajah Aḥmad (d.1450 or 51) in a different hand, and finally in still a different hand, another apparently quite early copy of the gloss by al-Bardaʻī.
