Short biographies of the great Muslim Imāms and the four orthodox caliphs. It contains the lives of Abū Ḥanīfah [699-767], Mālik ibn Anas [713-795], al-Shāfiʻī [767-820] and Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal [780-855], after which occurs a section on the love of God followed by one on the virtues of the four orthodox caliphs. This is followed by a section on the asceticism of Abū ʻAbd Allāh al-Ḥusayn al-Ḥākī, one on the excellences of ʻĀshūrāʼ, one on the birth of the Prophet, one on prayer and a section on the death of the Prophet. Following the colophon, further chapters are added on the Nile, saints, and in eulogy of the Prophet, apparently in the same hand.
Collections
Part of
Princeton’s Holdings of the al-Madani Library
The Houtsma and Littmann Collections constitute Princeton's holdings of the al-Madani library and are the focus of an ongoing three year digitization initiative that commenced in the Fall of 2021 and was completed in 2024.
Part of
Manuscripts of the Islamic World
Manuscripts of the Islamic World offers a curated selection of extraordinary manuscripts hosted or held by Princeton University Library. The manuscripts are predominantly in Arabic, but there are also many in Persian and Ottoman Turkish. The manuscript digitizations here are a fraction of the full Manuscripts of the Islamic World collections, housed in Special Collections in Princeton's Firestone Library. Efforts are ongoing to make the manuscripts of these collections more accessible through conservation, catalog record updates, and digitization.
