There fol- low the following brief extracts: 1. 101.985 ». Asummary of the contents of منازل السائرين‎ in Arabic. 2. Foll. 954-964. A note on al-Ansari in Persian. 3. Foll. 97-100. Extracts from lu, dows! of Zain al-Din ‘Ali al-Khawafi (perhaps to be identified with bles! aL, القدسية‎ of Aba Bakr Muhammad ibn Mu- hammad Zain al- Din al- Khawafi, who died 838/1435: see Brockelmann 11 206). 4. Fol. tor. Extracts from various Arabic works. For other copies see Ahlwardt 2826-7, Bankipore 831-2, Cureton- Rieu 763, Loth 599, etc. For commentaries by al-Qashani and Der [slam Xx1x 90-3. The text was printed at Cairo in 1327/1909, and the commentary of al-Qashani was printed at Cairo in 1315/ 1897 and lithographed at Teheran in the same year. H. Kh. vi 12920. 1223 Foll. 2746-2876; 94x54 in.; ll. 26; beauti- ful nasta‘liq; rubrications; badly worm-eaten; dated 7 Muharram 1143/1730. [DELHI 1952ac] 7 Manazil al-sa’irin. Another copy of the same work. This copy is divided like the preceding into 100 (unnumbered) chapters. 1224 Foll. 186; 7% x 54 in.; ll. 21-4; ugly but legible naskhi; rubrications; water-stained and some- what worm-eaten; 16th century. [DELHI 1846] شري die‏ السائرين Sharh Manazil al-sairin.‏ A fairly accurate copy, slightly defective at beginning and end, of a commentary on .منازل السائرين‎ In this copy the text of al- Ansari is written for the most part in red ink, and the work is as usual divided into 100 chapters. Apparently one leaf is miss- ing at the beginning and one at the end. Beginning: 2‏ رذى بال )7( من كل ناطق فلا جرم قال الشيخ رضى الله عنه فى اول كتابه هنا العين a‏ الله هو SIU pul‏ العلية الشريفة لا باعتبار wie ed dine‏ الاكثر الخ The commentary is about as full as that of ‘Abd al-Razzaq al-Qashani (see Loth 600), but is not the same, nor is it identical with that of ‘Afif al-Din al-Tilimsani (see Ahlwardt 2828). Owing to the deficiencies in this copy it is not possible to identify this commentary with any of those noted in Ritter’s list (see No. 1222). Our com- mentator quotes freely from his own verses in illustration, as-at fol. 584 and fol. 91 End: اى مشرك وسبب دونه‎ do) قوله ونعت من ينعته‎ به‎ Gee ما لا‎ Gall الى نزاهة‎ act ase اسناده فان حهضرة ازليته تابي نطق الحدث والله من‎ محيط تم شرح بعض مقاصد الشيخ ابي‎ ols ]526[ اسمعيل عبى الله ابن‎
