4, 5 and 7 are foxed and mended with gauze. 
The work was composed A.H. 797 [A.D. 1394/5] 
in Ma'arrat al-Nu'man, where al-I^asan ibn-'AH 
ibn-Muhammad ibn-^Yahya ibn-Ahmad ibn- 
MuhammacV ibn-Nasr ibn-abi-Bakr 'Abd-al- 
Razzaq ibn-'Abd-al-Qadir al-Kllani, a descend- 
ant of the great Kilani, asked ibn-rjijjah to 
amplify the poem and showed him a previous 
amplification of the same poem by ibn-al-Sa- 
hib. Ibn-Hjjjah, not pleased with previous 
amplification, decided to have it appear side by 
side with his own in order to reveal the marked 
differences. Ironically he called the work 
Rashf al-Manhilayn, his own and that of ibn- 
al-Sahib. First paragraph of MS indicates 
that same man at whose request work was 
composed is also scribe to whom ibn-rjijjah 
dictated MS. MS in poor condition ; mod- 
ern western binding.

In the Catalogue of the Cambridge MSS no. 
1081, the same name of al-Khuwarizmi occurs. 
But in Gotha 173, Br. Mus. Supp. 712/3, Paris 
2334/5 and Berlin 8859 the author's name is 
given as Jamal-al-Dln abu-'Abdullah Muham- 
mad ibn-Ahmad al-QazvvIni .+ A.H. 527 [a.D. 
1132/3]. In Br. Mus. 746 it is only al-QazwIni 
al-ShSfi'i. In Majji Khallfah VI, p. 42 and 
in Cairp Catalogue VII, p. 701 the book is as- 
cribed to "ba'd muta'akhkkiri fudalS dl-Magha- 
ribdh". Whatever his name, the author in all 
likelihood lived in the first half of the sixth 
century of the Hijrah and wrote sometime after 
A.H. 527 [ad. 1132/3], for on folio 603a he 
quotes Khalid ibn-abi-al-Qasjm 'All ibn Ya'la 



and speaks of him as dead. A traditionist of 
that name went to Qazwln in a.h. 523 [A.D. 
1128/9], stayed there some years and died A.H, 
527 [AD. 1132/3], See ibn al-Athlr, vol. XI,

second Christian century), one of the greatest 
physicians of antiquity. The present Arabic

the famous Nestorian physician and dean of 
translators from Greek in the 'Abbrisid period 
of renaissance, better known to the Latin West 
as Joannitius. The nine works contained in this 
volume are:

commonly called Ars parva. It comprises 28 
folios and is found in manuscript form in Paris 
2860 2 . Greek text and Latin translation publish- 



ed by Karl GottlobKuhn( Leipzig, 1820-33) 
A critical '-'discussion of the work is the subject 
of an inaugural dissertation by Arthur MUller' 
Kypke (Berlin, 1893), 

2. Kitab al-Buhran 61 j*JI v 1 ^ [ The # ook

lation by Kiihn. No translation into any mod-

work is in fourteen books and was diligently 
studied in the Middle Ages under the title Mak- 
rotechne (The Sublime). Greek text and Latin

has been recently translated into German in 
inaugural dissertations by Brink, Beek.NMeyer, 
Wandcrsleben, Carney, Prusmann, Schroder, 
Glaser, Voigt, Beck, Tietz and Szxzepanski. In 
addition there is an English translation of a part 
of it by Thomas Gale (1586) and a much a-

of Surah IX is a rectangular panel of blue and 



white on a gold background; in the center of this

ond comprises an account of the philosophical 
opinions of the Sabians, of the tenets of various 
Greek philosophers and some of the Fathers of ' 
the Christian Church, and also of Moslem doc- 
tors, more particularly of the system of ibn-Sfna

Olim ?! 1 M**™™* f-m ibn-al 
Qas.ni. The first who undertook to draw up a 
Mudawwanah was the Malikite doctor, Asad ibn- 
al-Furat + a.h. 213 [ A . D . 828/9]. It original^ 
consisted of questions proposed by him fo tl 
al-Qasm, w.th their solution by the latter he 
then took them with him to aKQayrawan and 



Sahnun wrote them out under his direction; it 
was called the Asadiyah, but as the questions 
were without any order in this first sketch, Sah- 
nun drew them up under separate headings and 
augmented their number. This present volume 
contains the books on (1) al-Siyju-w-al-I'tikaf, 
(2) al-Hudud fi al-Qadhf, (3) al-'Atq.

per; in naskhi; with vowel signs; headings in gold

Psalms 5 (in part), 6, 7 (in part), 37 (in part) and 
45 (in part) mixed up together, 23-32 (in part), 
37 (in part)-l51. The extra psalm, no. 151, is 
marked in the margin as suchj and is said to have 
been written by David when he killed Goliath.

50, and so on.) This translation varies greatly 
from all the other translations. After the Psalms 
are: the song of Moses (Exod. 15:1-19) with oth- 
er accretions, the song of Hannah the mother 
of Samuel (I Sam. 2:1-10), the soiigof Hezekiah 
after his recovery (Isaiah 38:9-20), the prayer of 
Manasseh, indicated but not cited in II Chron. 
33:1 2-13 and mentioned in the Apocrypha, Jo- 
nah's prayer from the belly of the fish (Jonah

Shadrach, Meschach and Abed-nego (Dan. 3),

of Mary (Luke 1 : 46-56), and the song of Zacha- 
rias (Luke 1:68-79).

The work was composed for the Buwayhid 
'Adud-al-Dawlah Fanna Khusraw, reigned A.D. 
949-83. Its best parts are devoted to dietetics 
and materia medica, Among its original contri- 
butions are a rudimentary conception of the cap- 
illary system and a proof that in the act of par- 
turition the child does not come out by himself 
but is pushed out by the muscular contraction of 
the womb. In A.D. 1127 it was translated into 
Latin by a Pisan, Stephen of Antioch. The pres-

INTRODUCTION 



Histdry The! Garrett Collection of Arabic Manuscripts, consisting of over 4,500 titles, belongs to 
h Mn R ^>bert Garrett, of Baltimore, a trustee of Princeton University. It comprises five units 
purchased at different times on the recommendation of scholars. The first and largest unit, entered 
ir i thid Catalog^ under the numbers 1h to 1 17IH, is commonly referred to as the Houtsma manuscripts, 
alter the Dutch orientalist Dr. M. Th r Houtsma, who published a list catalog of it entitled Catalogue 
*™ "'"<■'"* & manuscrits arabes et turcsa&artenanlalamaison E.J. Brill a Leyden (Leyden, 
I a Sr ° Up lVaS acquired in ,90 ° frotn the well-known publishing house in Holland. Brill had 
purchased most of it from a Medinese scholar Amln ibn-Hasan al-Hulwani al-Madani al-Hanafi 
who brought them to Amsterdam in 1883 on the occasion of the Colonial Exposition. The purchase 
was made on the recommendation of the Swedish Arabist Count Landberg. 

In 1904 the second unit also was acquired from Brill and belonged in the main to the library of 
the same Medihese scholar. The rest of this Huhvani library was sold by Brill to Leyden University 
and to the Royal Library in Berlin. Like the first this group was deposited in the Princeton Uni- 
versity Library and a list of its Arabic MSS was published by Dr. Enno Littmann, then of Prince- 
ton and now of Tubingen University, under the title A List of Arabic Manuscripts in Princeton 
university 'Library (Princeton and Leipzig, 1904).i Both units included a few Turkish, Persian* 
£ynac and other MSS in sundry languages which do not fall within the scope of this Catalog. Mem- 
bers ot the second urit are entered in pur Catalog under numbers 1 L to 355l. 

The third unit, entered under numbers 1 B to 420B, was purchased by Mr. Robert Garrett in 1925 
™/ he M esta n le of Murad fi ey Barudi, a graduate in pharmacy from the American University of 
Beirut. Mr. Barudi had exercised unusual care in the choice he made of MSS for his library which 
with few exceptions, consisted solely of Arabic works*. The purchase was made on the recommen- 
dation of Professor Hitti. In the same year in which the Barudi unit was acquired there was also 
bought from Professor Alban C. Widgery of Cambridge, England, his library of Moslem MSS. Only 
sixteen of this library, indicated in the Catalog by w, are in Arabic and constitute the fourth unit 
in our Collection. The rest are chiefly in Persian. All of these MSS had been procured by Widgery 
trom Ahmadabad and neighboring towns of Moslem India. 

_ The fifth unit is a miscellaneous group acquired at different times and places. It is entered in the 
Catalog under numbers lo to 55g and includes some exquisite codices of the Koran and Kufic 
fragments.

Contents The value of the Collection, the largest of its kind in America, lies not so much in its size 
as in its contents. It has specimens representative of almost all Moslem lands, scripts and 
disciplines. The authors comprise Spanish Moslems, Berbers, Egyptians, Syrians, Arabians and 
others of Pfersian, Turkish and Malay origin. Almost all are Moslems; a few are Christians and 
Druses from Syria and the Lebanon. One is a Samaritan. Almost all the luminaries of the first 
magnitude in the intellectual firmament of Islam, such as ibn-Sina ( Avicenna), ibn-Rushd (Averro^s), 
al-Farabi, al-Razi (Rhazes), al-Ghazzali (Algazel), are represented by one or more works. The dates 
of composition range from the eighth to the nineteenth century and the provenience from Andalusia 
and Morocco to Burma. Certain copies are in the handwriting of the authors themselves, several 
are rare and valuable, some are unique and hitherto undescribed and unpublished. 

Islam Works dealing with religion, theology, jurisprudence (fiqh) and tradition (hadith) form, as 
and would be expected, the largest group. Of these we may single out koranic fragments 

auxiliary in Kufi (No. 1139) whose conjectured date is the eighth century. These are the oldest 
sciences items in the Collection. A tenth century Kufic fragment (No. 1 146) gives a variant read- 
ing from the accepted version of the Koran. The codices of the Koran will be discussed 
under illumination and illustration. The Collection has two clear copies (No. 1479, No. 1481) of 
al-Ihya ', the magnum opus of al-Ghazzali', executed in the fourteenth century. An idea of the esteem 
in which this work has been held throughout the ages may be gained from a declaration by the 
seventeenth-century Turkish encyclopedist Hajji Khalifah 5 , "If all the other books of Islam should 
perish, the IAyd', if spared, would suffice." Next to the Ihyd' the Qut al-Qulub of al-Makki (+996), 
of which we have a superb and partly vocalized twelfth-century copy (No. 1 570) is considered the 
classic of Sufi literature. "By some the work is described as one without equal in its field". 6 Another 
Sufi treatise, dealing with the Illuministic School, was composed by abu-al-Mawahib (+ 1477/8) and 
copied in 1646 (No. 1583).' 

Language Next to religion the language and belles-lettres group composes the largest number of 
MSS in the Collection. Of these attention may be called to al-Qurtubi's lexicon (No. 265), 
a unique work sq far as we have been able to ascertain. Poetical, compositions are especially plentiful. 
One of the rare diwans is a copy of the poems of ibn-Jurayj al-Rumi (No. 19), a ninth-century poet 
of Greek origin, and an autograph collection of original poems (No. 109) written in Egypt by 'A'ishah 
bint-al-Ba'uni f 1523. 

Science In science we have excellent samples of those fields in which the Arabs made original 
contributions, or carried on and preserved for medieval Europe the researches of Greek and 
Roman scholars : medicine, astronomy, mathematics and philosophy. Outstanding among these 
is a voluminous translation of Galen's works on anatomy and medicine by the Nestorian Hunayn ibn- 
Ishaq (Latinized Joannitius + 873), dean of translators from Greek (No. 1075). Though the major 
part of our copy was written in AD. 1176, it is well preserved and antedates ary Greek or Latin 
MSS extant. It contains sections not yet edited or translated into any modern European tongue. 
Another valuable medical treatise (No. 1076) was modeled by al-Razi ( + 923) on the aphorisms 
ascribed to Hippocrates. This work was translated into Hebrew in the Middle Ages, and a Latin 
translation of it was printed in Bologna (1489) and in Lyons (1510). Our copy, made in 1282, is 
probably unique.

Islam was considered as having "canceled the past", and therefore hardly any literary material was 
spared to tell us the story of that glorious civilization that blossomed in the southwestern part of 
the Peninsula in pre-Islamic times. Among other rare chronicles reference may be made to those of 
al-Yafi'i ( + 1366, No. 591) and of ibn-Kathlr ( + 1373, No. 592). 

Of the biographical works, that of abu-Nu'aym ( + 1038, No. 669) and an unpublished part of al- 
Safadi's biographical dictionary (No. 682) stand out as of special importance. A more modern 
work is ah unpublished biography of the Lebanese Amir Fakhr-al-Dln al-Ma'ni ( + 1635, No. 606). 

Royal Certain MSS are noteworthy because of their personal associations. Of these some derive 
treasures interest from the distinction of their owners. Such is the case with a MS from the library 
of the great Salah-al-Dfn (Saladin) composed for him by one of his secretaries (No. 781). 
Another is a treatise on astrology expressly transcribed for the library of a great-grandson of 
SalSh-al-Dln (No. 968), as the medallion on the titlepage States. From the library of Salah-al-Dln's 
nephew al-Mu'azzam 'Isa, sultan of Damascus from 1218 to 1227, we have another unique work 
dedicated to al-Mu'azzam (No. 1703). According to rjajji Khallfah 10 the sultan "never parted com- 
pany with this copy whether he was at home or on a journey." 

Among the royal treasures is a unique treatise in praise of the horse and on the different breeds 
in the Mamluk studs composed and written before 1329 for the Sultan al-Nasir by one of his secre- 
taries, who in gold letters dedicated it to his patron (No. 1066). The Mamluk sultans kept the 
best Arab thoroughbreds of medieval times. From the library of the Ottoman Sultan Bayazld II 
(1481-1512), son of the conqueror of Constantinople and father of the conqueror of Syria and E- 
gypt, we have one MS in an elegant hand, with headings in gold and with illumination (No. 1249). 
From Samarqand comes a set of astronomical tables (Zij) ascribed to its Turkish governor Ulugh 
Beg at the renowned observatory which he erected in his capital about 1428 (No. 981). Only one 
work can claim the honor of having been compiled by a sultan, one of the Sharifs of Morocco (No. 
1411). Our copy is presumably the original one, written in the author's hand in 1784. 

Other Other MSS derive their interest from their writers or transcribers. Among such are a neat 
note- copy of ibn-Nubatah's Khutab (No. 1907) by al-Safadi (+ 1363), and another on the law of 
worthy inheritance by ibn-al-Ha'im (+1412/3, No. 1876). The Collection also comprises one auto- 
copies graph copy by the father of the celebrated Egyptian historian al-Jabarti (No. 1007), and 
another by his contemporary al-Zabldi (+ 1791, No. 712), author of the comprehensive A- 
rabic lexicon Taj al-'Arus. Nq. 1521 has for its author a Moslem convert from Majorca. Among the 
modern works is a history of a Lebanon district transcribed by the noted Christian Lebanese scholar 
and poet Nasif al-Yaziji ( + 1871, No. 1996), and a section of Subh al-A'ska transcribed by another 
modern Christian Syrian poet Rizq-Allah Hassun (+1880, No. 209). 

Foremost among the MSS which bear notes of special significance is the one referred to above 
(No. 1094), which has a note in Spanish dated March 25, 1566, declaring that a Jesuit priest had 
examined the copy under orders from the apostolic inquisitor and commissary of the new converts 
in Valencia and that the archbishop had given permission for its use. 

Still other works deserve special merit on account of their extraordinary character. Such is the 
case with a Moslem version of the Psalms copied by an Arabian in 1672 (No. 1987), and a collection 
of twenty-four different alphabets, including a study of the magical significance of the various char- 
acters (No. 749). ii

Paper The manufacture of writing paper was introduced in the middle of the eighth century in- 

to Moslem Samarqand from China. Before the close of the century Baghdad saw its first 
paper mill. Other factories followed. Egypt had its mills about 900, Morocco about 1100 and Spain 
about 1150. From Moslem Spain through France and from Italy the manufacture of paper worked 
its way into Christian Europe. 

In our Collection the oldest dated MS is a treatise on dialecti. "by al-Ffruzabadi of Shlraz copied 
by a scribe from KarrnSn in 1092 (No. 867). One undated MS (No. 1251) is probably a century 
earlier. The latest dated MS is a section of the Shihabi's history of Lebanon transcribed in 1899 by 
NiWt-AllSh al-Shihabi of the Halabi Maronite order (No. 624). 

A little less than half of our MSS, including of course the earliest, are on oriental paper; the rest 
are on European. Most of the paper used, whether oriental or European, is glazed. We have observ- 
ed that the earlier scribes used longer leaves than the later copyists and writers. Most of the European 
paper was identified from water-marks and from, the lines left in the pulp by the brass wires pf the 
mold which supported it while in the water. These wire markings are more numerous and regular 
than the lines left on oriental paper, in the manufacture of which bam boo reeds and, later, brass wires 
were used to support the pulp. In the Orient, Syria for a long time produced the finest brand of pa- 
per, and in Syria the charta damascena (made in Damascus) and the charta boinbycina (made in Man- 
bij, Gr. Bombyx), were the best. In our Collection a few (No. 1 1 38, No. 1 146) are on bombycine and 
at least one (No. 11 81) on Japanese mulberry. 

Since not much is known about oriental paper and the distribution of European paper in the Mos- 
lem East small specimens of forty-nine MSS were sent at the suggestion of Dr. H. M. Lydenberg, 
Director of the New York Public Library, to the National Bureau of Standards, Department of Com- 
merce, Washington, D. C, for examination. This was made by Mr. B. W. Scribner, Chief of Paper 
Section, assisted by Miss Mary L. Rollins, who performed the fiber analysis. Their report reproduc- 
ed below constitutes a real contribution : —

t.on to the stam becaur, of age. It seems reasonably certain, however, that the fiber is ramie 



wherever it is so identified. The identification of the fibers was made by the usual procedure of 
defibering the paper, staining the separate fibers to bring out their structural form, and examining 
them for characteristic structural differences with a microscope. 

It will be noted that the fibers were nearly all in good condition and the same was true of the 
papers as a whole. It is well known that linen was used in the early days of papermaking, particu- 
larly by the Arabs. We have no historical record of the use of ramie, but it is very similar to linen 
in both its textilemaking and papermaking properties and therefore has probably been generally 
classified in old papers as linen. Ramie is also known as rhea and China grass. It is said to be 
indigenous in India and probably also in China. It has been cultivated in China, Japan, Java, 
Borneo, Sumatra and the East Indies for a great many years. It is used abroad for the manu- 
facture of .textiles and, to a small extent, for making paper. The Japanese mulberry is commonly 
found in old papers, particularly those of Japanese and Chinese origin. 

In addition to our thanks to the National Bureau ot Standards, which made the test as a service 
to science, we wish in conclusion to register our gratitude to the staff of the Princeton L/niversity 
Library, represented by Dr. James T Gerould, Librarian, Mr. George M. Peck, Curator of Special 
Collections, Miss Reba S. Cawley, Chief of the Catalog Division, and Mr. Lawrence Heyl, Head of 
Acquisition Department, for the hearty cooperation and the many valuable suggestions we received 
from them. We wish also to acknowledge the services of three graduate students in the Department of 
Oriental Languages and Literatures, Harold W. Glidden, Ralph A. Habas and Edward J. Jurji, who 
helped in the compilation of the Catalog. The clerical work and publication were made possible by a 
grant from the General Education Board through the Princeton Council of the Humanities, of which 
Professor Edward Capps is chairman and Professor Albert M. Friend, Jr. secretary. To both of these 
gentlemen, as well as to Professor Harold H. Bender, Chairman, Department pf~ Oriental Languages 
and Literatures, and member of the Council, our thanks are due.
