~[2092] fols. 1v-320v: (Ps.) al-Ghazzali : Mishkat
al-anwar al-kabir = Mishkat al-anwar fi lata'if al-akhbar
lil-tahdid ila sunan al-sayyid al-mukhtar =
. -A still unedited paraenetic
book based on Koran and tradition. In Hajji Khalifa (II col.
1693) it is ascribed to Ghazzali. As a comparison shows, it
is different from Ghazzali, Mishkat al-anwar wa-misfat
al-anwar , a mystical work (= GAL S I 751
no.34a); it is mentioned (with additional mss.) in GAL S I
751 no.34c and is identical with Ms. Berlin 8745: ? the
description and the survey of all 47 chapters in the
catalogue by Ahlwardt. Like the Berlin Ms. our text does not
mention any author. It cannot have been written by Ghazzali
and may have been composed by Ala' al-Din Ali Ibn Muhammad
al-Misri who died in 877/1472; ? Bouyges,
Essai, p. 249 no. 257 and 258 and Badawi, Mu'allafat, p.
381f. (with additional mss.). -Our Ms. differs from the known
mss. insofar as it includes a commentary. The commented text
is overlined in red ink. Some pages have glosses in the
margin. On fol. 32r is a drawing: concentric circles
representing the cosmos. *On fols. 321r and 322v are some
notes by a later hand. -Ms. 49. -251 folios; 1521,2 cm; 23
lines; clear naskhi. Single words or sentences are in a few
cases overlined in red or black ink. Thick paper, in part
damaged, spotted, worm-eaten and water-stained with some loss
of text on fols. 175-177. Owner's stamp on fols. 1r and 47r.
The binding is repaired. Original leather covers with frame
and centre-ornament, with an additional small ornament below
and above it. Copied in 1117/1705-1706. -
