Grammar [IO Bijapur 11]

Grammar. This manuscript is now IO Bijapur 11 in the India Office collections. [metadata: Otto Loth, A Catalogue of the Arabic Manuscripts in the Library of the India Office, (volume 1), no. 898 here with further notations and hyperlinks]. 898. B 11. Size 93/4 in. by 51/2 in.; foll. 352. Twenty-one lines in a page. Another Commentary (ممزوج) on the Lubâb. The author is not mentioned. It begins, without a preface: قال الاستاذ المحقّق و الامام المدقّق تاج الملة والدين .. الاسفرائنى احمد الحمد هو الوصف بالجميل على جهة التعظيم قال الامام فخرالدين الرازی قد يمدح الؤلؤ لحسن شكله الخ. Well written. Frequent notes in the earlier portion. Imperfect at the end. The last few leaves are much worm-eaten. The beginning is also injured. On the title-page is a fine square ornament, containing the inscription, according to which the MS. was captured at Muḥammadâbâd-Bîdar, and became part of the library of Ibrâhîm ‘Âdil Shâh (II.), A.H. 1027. The seal of the latter, bearing the inscription عناية الازليّة كفاية الابديّة , is impressed on the first page. Cat. 235, xviii.
