    Sharh al-fiqh al-akbar شرح الفقه الأكبر

    On this commentary (finished 939/1532) on Abu Hanifa أبو حنيفة (died 150/767), al-Fiqh al-akbar (Abu Hanifa's Creed) see F. SEZGIN, GAS I (Leiden 1967) 413.

  3. [3] [1063] fol. 29v - 34v

    Risala fi al-fara'id رسالة في الفرائض

    Fol.29r mentions Kitab al-fara'id كتاب الفرائض as the title of this treatise on the law of succession. According to ms. Berlin 4749 the author is Shihab al-Din Abu Hamid Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Mahmud Ibn Ali Ibn Abi Talib شهاب الدين أبو حامد محمد بن أحمد بن محمود بن علي بن أبي طالب who is mentioned by BROCKELMANN (GAL S II 973 nr. 16) as the unidentifiable author of the Fara'id (with 3 mss. to which the Berlin ms. should be added too). The text has been commented by Abd al-Halim al-Muskiri عبد الحليم المسكري who died 900/1494 (s. BROCKELMANN 1.c.). It must therefore have been written before the end of the 9th/15th century. As a comparison with ms. Berlin 4749 shows, our ms. differs very much it is shorter at the end and ends with ms. Berlin 4749, fol. 89r6 (thus 89r7-90r of the Berlin ms. are missing in our ms.). On the other hand our ms. has additional sections and does not contain the note in the introduction of ms. Berlin 4749 fol. 79v6f. according to which it is a "summary" (mukhtasar مختصر ). The Berlin ms. is apparently a shortened redaction which has some additions, namely (besides the introduction fol. 79v3ff.) fol. 80v4ff.; 81r2ff.; 83r2ff.; 84r2f.; 86r, ult. ss.; 89r7-90r (end). However, the following passages of our ms. are missing in the Berlin ms. fol. 29v5-8; 29v10-30r10; 30v4-9; 30v13-31r2; 31v1-32r3 (shorter and different from Berlin 4749, fol. 84r3-85r, ult.); 32r1-32v4; 3410-33v6; 34r4-ult.

  4. [4] [1064] fol. 35v - 40r

    A fragment of a commentary (Sharh شرح ) on a work about the law of succession. According to the colophon the text was "written down" (harrarahu حرره ) by Hajji Sulayman حاجي سليمان (not identifiable). The text must have been completed after Ibn Kamal Pasha ابن كمال باشا (died 940/1533; see GAL II 449; S II 668) who is mentioned on fol. 35v8. On the last page two small excerpts and a short anecdote are added.

  5. [5] [1065] fol. 41v - 89r

    Zuhur al-atiya fi sharh al-wasiya ظهور العطية في شرح الوصية

    Our text has neither title nor author. Cf. however ms. nr. 19. A comparison of both mss. shows that the end of ms.19 (fol. 59v11-61r) is missing in this ms. Instead of information about the date of the commentary (cf. description of ms.19) the copyist has added a colophon mentioning the copying of the text on 1 Rabi' II 1129/15.3.1717.
