Niṣāb al-iḥtisāb / lil-Imām ʻUmar ibn Muḥammad ibn ʻAwaḍ al-Shāmī.
1630
Treatise on iḥtisāb according to the Ḥanafī legal school, comprising 64 chapters (bāb). The dates of the author are uncertain. According to Brockelmann, he wrote after 993/1585 in Bukhārā. However, for Ziriklī, d. 696/1297. The modern editor of the text, M. Izzi Dien, dates the author to the 7th-8th c./13th-14th c. and argues that his nisbah should be read al-Sunāmī (The theory and practice of market law in medieval Islam, 1997).

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.
