Summary
Clear, well-annotated copy of the supergloss by al-Khalkhālī upon the gloss by ʻAlī ibn Muḥammad al-Jurjānī, al-Sayyid al-Sharīf (d.1413) upon the commentary by ʻAḍud al-Dīn al-Ījī (d.1355?) upon Ibn al-Ḥājib's (d.1249) Mukhtaṣar al-muntahá, an abridgement of his own treatise on law according to the Mālikī school, Muntahá al-suʼāl wa-al-amal fī ʻilmay al-uṣūl wa-al-jadal. Appears to ends abruptly. Likely once part of a collective volume (majmūʻah).
