    Ruh al-shuruh wa-ma'in al-ni'am روح الشروح ومعين النعم

    A commentary on the Kitab al-Maqsud fi al-sarf كتاب المقصود في الصرف (on grammar) which is ascribed to Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة . Our ms. does not mention an author. The ms. Princeton (Garrett-collection) nr. 307 and the ms. in Cairo, Dar al-kutub al-misriya (see Fahras al-kutub al-arabiya al-mawjuda bi-dar al-kutub II, Cairo 1345/1926, p.57a) mention Isa Efendi al-Sirawi عيسى أفندي السيراوي as author. Cf. however BURSALI MEHEMMED TAHIR, Osmanli Mü'ellifleri I (Istanbul 1334/1915-16) p.359 and MEHMET SÜREYYA, Sijill-i 0smani III, Istanbul 1311/1893, p.613, 4ff.; BURSALI confirms in a chronogram (for the year of al-Ayshi's death, namely 1061/1650) the name al-Ayshi instead of Isa. BROCKELMANN (GAL S II 657 nr. 25b) has correctly "Muhammad Efendi al-Ayshi محمد أفندي العيشي " as author of Ruh al-shuruh, but mentions elsewhere (S II 658 nr. 25f.) the text a second time with "Isa Efendi al-Sirawi" as author, without realizing the identity of both texts. A few glosses in the margin. The contents of the main text are given on fol. 3v-4r.
