  3. [3] [2090] fol. 1v - 9v

    An anonymous treatise on smoking tobacco. A later hand at the top of fol. 1v ascribed the text to Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulusi عبد الغني النابلسي. This cannot be correct, however: Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulusi's treatise on the allowance of smoking tobacco, his al-Sulh bayna al-ikhwan fi hukm ibahat al-dukhan الصلح بين الإخوان في حكم إباحة الدخان (GAL II 346 no.32 and S II 474 no.32) is different from our Ms.; moreover, Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulusi's work is much longer (cf. Ms. Berlin 5494). Our text is identical with the anonymous Risala fi al-dukhan رسالة في الدخان which is preserved in two mss. of the 12th/18th and 13th/19th century in the University Library of Princeton (Mach no. 2092). Other mss. related to ethics : → text nos.[2384],[2385],[2398],[2399],[2409],[2414],[2421] and [2465].
