§ 626. According to the commentator Niʿmat Allāh the Jām i jahān-numā was written by Muhyī ’l-Dīn M. b. ʿIzz al-Dīn Yūsuf, known as M. S̲h̲īrīn. In the text of the work itself most of the manuscripts contain no mention of the author, but there are at least two in which his name occurs. Thus according to the Dresden ms he calls himself¹⁸ M. b. ʿIzz al-Dīn ʿĀdil b. Yūsuf known as S̲h̲īrīnī, while in the Bombay ms the name appears (in the preface?) as M. b. M ʿIzz al-Dīn ʿĀdil b. Yūsuf al-s̲h̲ahīr bi-’l-Mag̲h̲ribī. If this is correct (and it seems to involve no chronological or other improbability), the author is evidently the poet “Mag̲h̲ribī”, who elsewhere seems to be called only M. S̲h̲īrīn “Mag̲h̲ribī” without mention of his laqab or his father’s name, and who died in 809/1406–7. There has been some confusion among bibliographers between this work and a philosophical encyclopaedia of the same title by Mīr G̲h̲iyāt̲h̲ al-Dīn Manṣūr S̲h̲īrāzī [Ḥ. K̲h̲. ii p. 499: J.i j.-n. li-Mīr Gh. al-D. Manṣūr b. Mīr Ṣadr al-D. fī funūn al-ḥikmah fārisī]. The latter work, if ever completed, must have failed to secure diffusion, since it “is not mentioned in the notices of the author among his works” (Rieu) and, if extant at all, is extremely rare, the Āṣafīyah ms (cat. vol. i p. 808 section Riyādī), if correctly described as the J. i j.-n. by Manṣūr,¹⁹ being apparently the only recorded copy, but a portion of it, namely “the first treatise of the third part (wajh)” is known as the Ak̲h̲lāq i Manṣūrī and is preserved in several manuscripts (see pl. iv no. 843 infra), while the first risālah on logic of the fourth wajh is preserved at Madrās (i 474 (d)).

Notes

^ Back to text1. A Ṣūfī poem. N. al-D.R. I. was born at Iṣfahān and became a disciple of S̲h̲. M. ʿAlī Mu ʾad̲hd̲hin K̲hurāsānī (author of the Tuḥfah i ʿAbbāsī composed in 1077/1666–7. see pl. iv no. 659 below).

^ Back to text2. [This entry is compiled from cards written by Storey and from my own research. v.s.]

^ Back to text3. [The catalogue lists each of these mss. as S̲h̲arḥ Fuṣūṣ al-hikam (maʿa Ādāb al-murīdīn) and gives the author as S̲h̲. Abū ’l-Najīb ʿAbd al-Qādir b. ʿAbd Allāh Suhrawardī. Suhrawardī is the author of the Arabic Ṣūfī work Ādāb al-murīdīn, but since he died in 563/1168 (pl. i no. 1374 (4) (c), etc.) it is unlikely that he could have written a commentary on Ibn ʿArabī’s Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam. v.s.]

^ Back to text4. Ivanow says 1334/1915–16.

^ Back to text5. He translated also the Fuṣūl i Naṣīrīyah and several other works by Ṭūsī.

^ Back to text6. The nisbah presumably indicates a connexion with Us̲h̲nū (Us̲h̲nuh, Us̲h̲nūyah) in Ād̲h̲arbāyjān (see Ency.Isl. s.v.). The mss. give it in various forms - ʾS̲h̲NHY (Mashhad), ʾsnwy (Bkp.), ʾS̲h̲TWY (Āṣaf.).

^ Back to text7. If this is the same person as S̲h̲. al-D. Abū T̲h̲ābit M. b. ʿA. al-M. al-Dailamī (Brockelmann ii p. 207), the author of al-Jamʿ bain al-tauḥīd wa-’l-taʿẓīm, the date 899[1493–4] given by Ḥ. K̲h̲. (ii p. 622) for the composition of that work cannot be correct.

^ Back to text8. So Bodleian 1250 and Leyden 2307; in 8 chapters (faṣl) acc. to Rieu, in a preface (of 8 chapters) and 4 faṣls (Blochet), in a muqaddimah, 6 faṣls and a k̲h̲ātimah (Hamburg), in 8 faṣls followed by several bābs (Bkp.).

^ Back to text9. These nibahs, apparently not mentioned in the preface, are appended to the commentator’s name on the last page of Bodleian 1257, but it is not clear from Ethé’s description whether they occur in the text of the work or in the copyist’s colophon. The commentator is presumably identical with the author of the Sabʿ sanābil (no. 647(1) infra).

^ Back to text10. So Ethé. The headings given in the Berlin catalogue differ somewhat.

^ Back to text11. This adjective implies of course that ʿAbd al-Razzāq wrote three works on Ṣūfī technical terms. The largest is presumably the Laṭāʾif al-iʿlām (for which see Brockelmann ii p. 204).

^ Back to text12. There seem to be no such concluding lines in the Brelau ms., since according to Bacher (p. 609) “Ueber den Urheber und die Abfassungszeit der im Vorstehenden behandelten Uebersetzung findet sich in der Breslauer Handschrift keine Andeutung”.

^ Back to text13. Same place and date as the preceding.

^ Back to text14. But the ʿAlīgaṛh cat. gives the author’s name as ʿImād i dabīr mulaqqab bi-ʿImād al-muḥaqqiqīn.

^ Back to text15. So Mas̲h̲had. The Vienna ms. has R. i alfāẓ fī k. i alg̲h̲āẓ and the Gotha ms. R. i alfāẓ wa k. i alg̲h̲āẓ (see Berlin p. 273¹). Ethé does not mention a title.

^ Back to text16. Different from al-Makānīyah wa-’l-zamānīyah (see Berlin 235).

^ Back to text17. From the Cairo ms., which is a risālah i darwīs̲h̲īyah of unspecified authorship but presumably ʿAlī Hamadānī’s.

^ Back to text18. “Der Verfasser nennt sich dort selbst Muḥammad ibn ʿIzz al-Dīn ʿĀdil ibn Yūsuf, bekannt unter dem Namen Šīrīnī” (Berlin Cat. p. 1056 n. 1)

^ Back to text19. It seems possible that this may be a copy of the Ak̲h̲lāq i Manṣūrī.

^ Back to text20. Another early reference to the work is given by the author of al-Asṭur al-g̲h̲aibīyah (Nad̲h̲īr Aḥmad 27), who says that on 6 S̲h̲awwāl 871 he was reading M. S̲h̲īrīn Mag̲h̲ribīʾs Jām i jahān-numāy and was so impressed by its beauty and utility that he decided to write a similar work.

^ Back to text21. I.e. K̲h̲ūb M. C̲h̲is̲h̲tī, for whom see pl. iv no. 651 infra.

^ Back to text22. So Flũgel, Salemann-Rosen etc. Most of the catalogues say nothing about any such addition.

^ Back to text23. The number of leaves (81) suggests that this is only an abridgement or an extract.

^ Back to text24. [In the margin of the b.m. Catalogue, Storey has written “This is ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq Dihlawī’s Aḥwāl i Aʾimmah i It̲h̲nā-ʿas̲h̲ar”. v.s.]

^ Back to text25. M. Amīn al-s̲h̲ahīr bi-Amīr Bāds̲h̲āh al-Ḥusainī nasab^an al-Ḥanafī mad̲h̲hab^an al-K̲h̲urāsānī maulid^an al-Buk̲h̲ārī manshaʾ^an al-Makkī mauṭin^an, as he calls himself in the preface to his commentary on the Taḥrīr of Ibn al-Humām (see Bānkīpūr xiii p. 152^3̲, xix/1 p. 27; for the Taḥrīr see Brockelmann ii p. 225).

^ Back to text26. Described by Ethé as extracts from Pārsā’s Anfās i qudsīyah (no.(3) below), but this seems to be incorrect. See the Persian heading quoted under Bodleian 894 (23).

^ Back to text27. Perhaps Pārsā himself. Cf. Berlin p. 322 n. 1, where there is mentioned a collection of 40 traditions selected from al-Aḥādit̲h̲ al-Ratanīyāt by Jalāl al-Dīn Abū ’l-Fatḥ M. b. M. b. Maḥmūd al-Ḥāfiẓī al-Buk̲h̲ārī al-S̲h̲arʿī.

^ Back to text28. Über das Leben, das Lob und die Werke des … Chodscha Behaeddin … according to Krafft, but the biographical element must be small, since most of the cataloguers say nothing about it. Ḥ. K̲h̲., who does not seem to have seen the work, mentions the biographical part.

^ Back to text29. The title and the ascription to Pārsā come from statements on fly-leaves.

^ Back to text30. See Enc. Isl. [1st ed.] Firis̲h̲te-Zade, [2nd ed. under Firis̲h̲te-og̲h̲lu v.s.]

^ Back to text31. One of these dates (given in the b.m. catalogue) is presumably incorrect, since they do not correspond.

^ Back to text32. According to Ivanow the Irs̲h̲ād al-murīdīn contains many poetical passages in which this tak̲h̲alluṣ occurs.

^ Back to text33. It appears from Ivanow’s description that this s̲h̲aik̲h̲ is mentioned on fol. 23 of the Irs̲h̲ād al-murīdīn. His full name was M. b. Jalāl al-Dīn Yūsuf al-Manṣūrānī al-K̲h̲abūs̲h̲ānī and he died in 937/1530–1 (see Riyāḍ al-auliyāʾ (Ivanow Curzon no. 704)).

^ Back to text34. The chronogram is Rawāʾiḥ s̲h̲ud basī bīs̲h̲ az Lawāʾiḥ.

^ Back to text35. Mustaqīm with a query in the Gotha catalogue.

^ Back to text36. Or “Shāhid” (cf. Berlin p. 646 no. 46 (Ṣuḥuf i Ibrāhīm)).

^ Back to text37. To be distinguished from Mīr ʿAbd al-Wāḥid “D̲h̲auqī” Bilgrāmī, who died in 1134/1721 (cf. Raḥmān ʿAlī p. 136, etc.)

^ Back to text38. For which see Bānkīpūr Suppt. i 1995 (11).

^ Back to text39. Just possibly identical with “Salāmī” Iṣfahānī, who is mentioned in the Haft iqlīm (no. 920) and the Mak̲h̲zan al-g̲h̲arāʾib (no. 1004).

^ Back to text40. For this nisbah and Samʿānī’s explanation of it see pl. i no. 370 1st footnote. According to the Tāj al-ʿarūs, however, K̲h̲unj is, or was, the name of a district in Fārs, and this is corroborated by the Burhān i qāṭiʿ. Consequently the nisbah K̲h̲unjī may have two different explanations.

^ Back to text41. Author’s name given as Mīr M.

^ Back to text42. A Ṣūfī poem by Najīb al-Dīn Riḍā Tabrīzī, a disciple of M. ʿAlī Muʾad̲h̲d̲h̲in K̲h̲urāsānī (see Mas̲h̲had i, fṣl 1, ptd. bks., no. 29).

^ Back to text43. So Zetterstéen, but S̲h̲arḥ i K. i m. in Bkp. cat.

^ Back to text44. Ethé calls this person Moghul, “The only name the author uses”, and quotes from fol. 1b ult. The words Mī-gūyad aḥqar juzw i kul dīdah mughul. However the name may be explained, it seems to be Dīdah Mug̲h̲ul.

^ Back to text45. No biographical notice of this s̲h̲aik̲h̲ has been found.

^ Back to text46. Cf. pl. i no. 1344 1st footnote.

^ Back to text47. Cf. pl. i nos. 1320 3rd footnote, 1344 2nd par.

^ Back to text48. Cf. pl. i nos. 1316 (1) 1st footnote, 1320 2nd par., 1359 2nd par., 1376 5th par. in booktitle.

^ Back to text49. So Kahl. Perhaps Jamāl al-Dīn should be read.

^ Back to text50. For Mak̲h̲dūm i Aʿẓam (d. 949/1542–3 according to Tārīk̲h̲ i Rāqimī, Rosen Institut p. 128⁵) see pl. i no. 1283.

^ Back to text51. 1159 according to the Mas̲h̲had catalogue.

^ Back to text52. Nawwāb of the Carnatic, d. 1162/1748–9? At this date, however, ʿAbd al-ʿAlī was only eighteen years old.

^ Back to text53. The correctness of this title needs confirmation.

^ Back to text54. The date of presentation by the author to the library at Mas̲h̲had.

^ Back to text55. Cf. Mirʾāt al-ʿās̲h̲iqīn below.

^ Back to text56. Or k̲h̲wājah i ʿārif.

^ Back to text57. Cf. Maʿrifat i ṣifāt i Raḥmānī below.

^ Back to text58. I.e. possibly “Ḍaʿfī” b. “Guls̲h̲anī”, perhaps a son of the celebrated Ibrāhīm “Guls̲h̲anī”, who died in 940/1533–4. According to the Dānis̲h̲mandān i Ād̲h̲arbāyjān p. 319¹⁷ “Guls̲h̲anī” had two sons S̲h̲. Aḥmad Guls̲h̲anī-zādah “K̲h̲ayālī”, who died in 977/1569–70 and Saiyid [Sic?] ʿAlī “Ṣafwatī”, who died in 1005/1596–7. “Ṣafwatī” may conceivably be a corruption of “Ḍaʿfī” or vice versa.

^ Back to text59. Cf. Samʿānī fol. 102b, Suyūṭī Lubb al-lubāb p. 51. For S̲h̲. Zain al Dīn, see Nafaḥāt al-uns pp. 498–500 (Tihrān ahs 1336/1957–8); Haft iqlīm no. 653; Safīnat al-auliyāʾ p. 184 (no. 351).
