Item Summary

Two treatises on prayer, the first one specifically related to prayer at sea. According to Brockelmann (who refers to this ms. and Hitti -- see refs. below), both texts are by Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad Ibn al-Jawharī, but in the ms. itself (and in Hitti) the author is mentioned only in the second text (fol. 5b).
