Treatise on rhetoric (ʻilm al-balāgha), based on the author's epitome Talkhīṣ al-Miftāḥ, to which this present work is like a commentary, with material from Miftāḥ al-ʻulūm [by al-Sakkākī] and Dalāʼil al-iʻjāz and Asrār al-balāghah by ʻAbd al-Qāhir al-Jurjānī (preamble, fol. 2b). The text is followed on fol. 213b-218a by a gloss by ʻUbayd Allāh ibn Masʻūd ibn Tāj al-Sharīʻah, entitled Ajwibat iʻtirāḍāt fī al-Talkhīṣ wa-al-Īḍāḥ ʻalá Sāḥib al-Miftāḥ, apparently written by the same hand. It is preceded on fol. 1b-2a by a short text written by a later hand on the definition of "al-ḥaqīqah", with an interlinear and marginal gloss.
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.
