Abridgement of the author's commentary on al-Ṭughrāʼī's Lāmīyat al-ʻAjam. The commentary is variously known as Ghayth al-musjam fī sharḥ Lāmīyat al-ʻAjam and Ghayth al-adab alladhī insajama fī sharḥ Lāmīyat al-ʻAjam. Brockelmann has misidentified the abridger of the present text as the person who financed the 1897 edition. In this copy the abridgement is ascribed to ʻĀʼishah bint Yūsuf al-Bāʻūnīyah by a later hand on leaf 1b. Verses on leaves 1a, 21b-23a.
Collection
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.
