Note
Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 494
Origin: As appears in colophon on fol.132a, transcription finished ("wa-kāna al-farāgh min naskhih") in the last 10th of Shaʻbān 688 [September 1289]. Copyist is not named.
Accompanying materials: a. Inventory cataloguing slip in hand of Winifred Smeaton Thomas. -- b. Acquisitions slip from Yahuda.
Former shelfmark: From inner front cover and spine label, "IL 343" (likely supplied by Yahuda, see acquisitions slip).
Binding: Pasteboard covered in black cloth with spine covered in black leather (quarter-bound); Type III binding (without flap); spine gold-stamped with title and author "المنهاد في شرح صحيح مسلم 6" as well as decorative bands along ridges; not original to the codex; in good condition.
Support: non-European (likely Arab) 'Mamluk' laid paper with horizontal chain lines grouped in twos, multiple groups per page, spaced approximately 1 cm apart; 6 laid lines per cm.
Script: Naskh; large, clear Mamlūk hand (possibly Egyptian or Syrian) with straight, vertical, serifless alifs; hamzah and shaddah are used; tanwin is marked.
Layout: Written in 9 lines per page; frame-ruled (impression of misṭarah evident).
Collation: 1(1), 6 V (61), IV+1 (70), 6 V (130), I (132); quire numbering written out in Arabic (الرابع, الخامس, الخ) at the top-left of the first folio of each quire, first appearing at fol.12a "الرابع", and in many cases more highly visible where the tackiness of the ink led to a transfer of the word onto the facing leaf; middle-of-the-quire marks take the form of small vertical pencil-marks in the bottom-left and top-right corners of most quires; catchwords lacking; foliated in Hindi numerals, with the second folio numbered 19, implying that the codex is acephelous with some 18 or so leaves missing from the beginning of the codex; paginated in pencil, Western numerals, referenced in cataloguing.
Colophon: "Scribal," rectangular, reads: "نجز الجزؤ السادس من المنهاج في شرح صحيح مسلم رحمه الله ورضي عنه [...] الجزؤ السابع ان شا الله تعالى [...] قوله صلى الله عليه وسلم ويل للاعقاب من النار كان الفراغ من نسخه في العشر الاخير من شعبان المبارك سنة ثمان وثمانين وستماية غفر الله لمصنفه ومالكه وكاتبه وقاريه ومستمعه ولجميع المسلمين بمنه وكرمه والحمد لله رب العالمين وصلى الله علي سيدنا محمد واله وصحبه وسلم تسليما كثيرا وحسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل"
Explicit: "والمقصود هنا شرح متون الاحاديث وألفاظها دون بسط الادلة وأجوابه الخالفين ومن أخصر ما نذكره أن جميع من وصف وضؤ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في مواطن مختلفة وعلى صفات متعددة متفقون على غسل الرجلين"
Incipit: "المسؤل فإن فقد احد هذه الشروط فهي حرام بالاتفاق والله اعلم"
Title from closing on fol.131b.
Ms. codex.
For a scholarly volume of this age, and book of this importance, this volume is remarkably lacking in glosses, marginal and interlinear corrections, and marks of ownership; the almost total lack of marginalia is perhaps its most striking feature; very few marginal corrections (e.g. fol. 2a) marked with "بيان"; possible audition notice in lower left margin of fol.132a.
