    Risala fi al-masa'il al-mukhtalifa bayna al-Maturidiya wa-al-Ash'ari (sic) رسالة في المسائل المختلفة بين الماتريدية والأشعري

    The author may be al-Sayyid al-Sharif al-Jurjani السيد الشريف الجرجاني (died 816/1413 see GAL II 216; S II 305) who is called al-Muhaqqiq al-Sharif in the Berlin ms. 1790. The text is not mentioned anywhere. It is different from the following treatises Kitab al-Masa'il al-khilafiya bayna al-Maturidiya wa-al-Ash'ariya كتاب المسائل الخلافية بين الماتريدية والأشعرية , ms. Vienna 2111 (Mixt.1112), fol. 1v-81r; Muhammad al-Isbari Qadizade محمد الإسبري قاضي زاده (wrote around 990/1582), Mumayyizat madhhab al-Maturidiya an al-madhahib al-ghayriya مميزة مذهب الماتريدية عن المذاهب الغيرية , ms. Berlin 2492 (mentioned in GAL S II 346 below); Yahya Ibn Ali Ibn Nasuh Naw'i يحيى بن علي بن نصوح نوعي (died 1007/1598; cf.

However, there are some similarities to the more extensive Kitab al-Rawda al-bahiya كتاب الروضة البهية by Abu Udhba أبو عذبة (lived around 1125/1713) cf. e.g. fol. 35r, -3ff. with Abu Udhba (ed. Haydarabad 1322/1904) p.44, 7ff. Both texts may have used a common source, namely the still unedited commentary (written in 757/1356) by Nur al-Din Muhammad al-Shirazi نور الدين محمد الشيرازي on Taj al-Din al-Subki تاج الدين السبكي , Nuniya النونية (cf. on this GAL S II 346 below). - A second ms.
