كتاب مشكاة الانوار و مصفاة الاسرار تاليف الشيخ الامام ابى حامد محمد بن محمد بن محمد بن احمد الغزالى.

A treatise on Mystical Theology, by GHAZZÂLÎ. See regarding it, Ḥ. Kh. v. 558; Cat, Bodl. ii. 567; Gosche in Abh. d. K. Akad. Berlin, 1858, p. 263.

Inelegantly written, with vowel-points, rather incorrect. It was revised by الشيخ الصالح الصوفى الزين ابن الصديق المرجانى , on 1st Rabî’ I., 1013, and it was collated subsequently with the original copy (الاصل) and another MS. Hence numerous corrections on the margin.

The last page is filled with a rather illegible gloss on a passage of this work.

Begins:ملخص كلامه رحمه الله تعالى ان العين اولى باسم النور.

Signature of ‘Abd al-raḥmân b. al-‘Aidarûs Ḥusainî on the title-page.
