Manuscript description
Digital copy consulted. Third text in a majmūʿ containing several other texts which are all related to questions of church destruction and dhimma. The texts were not copied at the same time but bound together later, as the paper and the first text’s colophon (dated to 700/1301) makes clear. Other texts in the majmūʿ are Ibn al-Rifʿa’s ''al-Nafāʾis fī adillat hadm al-kanāʾis'' (1a-22b), an unattributed ''Kitāb Sirāj al-ẓilma fī sharḥ ḥuqūq ahl al-dhimma'' (f.23af.-69b), an unnamed text by Muḥammad b. Abī Hāmid b. Ḥusayn b. ʿAlī al-Mālikī al-Bakrī al-Maghzalī al-aṣl al-Khalīlī al-manshā wa-mawlid (f.78b-f.79b), and ''Kitāb itḥāf al-sālik bi-ruwāt ʿan al-imām Mālik'' written by Muḥammad b. Abī Bakr ʿAbd Allāh b. Muḥammad b. Aḥmad al-Qaysī al-Dimashqī al-Shāfiʿī, known as Ibn Nāṣir al-Dīn, dated to 893 (related to author of previous text, who is here named as copyist, in the context of listening sessions in a house next to al-Azhar mosque). Ibn Ḥajar’s text contains marginal text markers echoing the red rubrications in the text (likely as preparation for actual filling in with red later), some correction notes, and two comments in the margin on f.72b: the first commenting on the relationship between sultanic aḥkām and the legal rulings presented in the text, and the second a comment about the function of an iqṭāʿ. A last note on f.78a after the colophon is difficult to read but might be a description of the contents. The colophon itself dates this particular text in the manuscript to Dhī l-Qaʿda 839 (May-June 1436).
