  2. [2] [1274] fol. 11r - 60v

    Kitab al-Asas li-aqa'id al-akyas fi ma'rifat rabb al-alamin wa-adlihi fi al-makhluqin wa-ma yattasilu bi-dhalika min usul al-din كتاب الأساس لعقائد الأكياس في معرفة رب العالمين وعدله في المخلوقين وما يتصل بذلك من أصول الدين

    On the author (died 1029/1620) and this dogmatic treatise see GAL II 405 nr. 6 and S II 406 nr. 6. Our ms. is incomplete at the beginning; in the edition of A. NADER (Beirut 1980) our text starts with p.112, 14. The text has also the title al-Asas al-mutakaffil bi-kashf al-iltibas الأساس المتكفل بكشف الالتباس (see ms. Berlin 5145 and GAL S II 551 nr. 1). Our ms. bears the title Iddat al-akyas fi ilm al-asas عدة الأكياس في علم الأساس (fol. 1r). Apparently this is the third title of our text; contrary to the note in ms. Berlin 10307, fol. 15, 16 (taken over by DAIBER, Mu'ammar - as above ms.48 - p.511 n.2) our title does not contain a commentary on al-Asas al-mutakaffil.

The text is identical with ms. Berlin 4029/8 (transmitted by Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn al-Qasim al-Akwa' أحمد بن محمد بن القاسم الأكوع ). Cf. DAIBER, Mu'ammar (as above ms.48) p.512, note.
