PREFACE.

IN the Introduction to my Catalogue of the Persian

Manuscripts in the Library of the University of Cam-

bridge, published by the University Press in 1896, I traced

with some detail the history and growth of this department

of our Library from 1625, when the munificence of George

Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, secured for us the precious

Erpenius collection, down to the date of publication, since

which period we have acquired (mostly by purchase) about

140 MSS. written in the Arabic character. I do not deem

it necessary to repeat in this place what I there set down

on this head, and I shall therefore pass at once to other

matters.

The cataloguing of manuscripts, though one of the most

useful tasks of the Orientalist, is at the same time one of the

most irksome and tedious, especially in the case of a collection

formed less by deliberate selection and purchase than by

fortuitous gifts and bequests. When, therefore, I had com-

pleted my Persian Catalogue, and had realised how large a

proportion of unselected manuscripts are practically devoid

of worth or interest, I earnestly hoped that some one else,

better qualified for such work than myself, would undertake

the cataloguing of the remaining Muhammadan MSS., a task

for which I felt but little inclination. It soon became plain,

however, that, unless I chose to continue the work myself,

there was but little likelihood of its being finished at all in

the near future ; and as an uncatalogued collection of MSS.

is practically useless, especially to scholars at a distance, I

resolved to work up the rough notes of all MSS. written in

the Arabic character (whether Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Urdu,

viii PREFACE.

I'aklUo, Malay or Panjabi) which I had already made when

engaged in the construction of my Persian Catalogue, and

issue them, in a compact and condensed form, as a Hand-list

of Mu/inniviadan Manuscripts ; in order that, pending the

production of a proper Catalogue raisonnc, some clue to the

contents of this department of our Library might be available

to other Orientalists.

The plan which I decided to adopt in the construction of

this Hand-list aimed primarily at concision, but proved in

practice much more troublesome than I had anticipated. I^y

arranging all the books of which the proper titles could be

ascertained in alphabetical order (according to the plan

adopted by that great bibliographer Hajl Khalifa) it seemed

to me that a considerable economy of space might be effected,

both by removing the need of a separate Index of titles, and

also by avoiding any repetition of the bibliographical refer-

ences. Moreover it appeared to me to be a matter of perfect

indifference to one who was in search of a particular work

whether it happened to be bound up in the same cover with

others or not, so that I decided in the case of composite

MSS. to treat each portion as an independent unit, and to

describe the volume as a whole only under one article

(generally the earliest in the volume). Thus, for instance,

the Burckhardt manuscript marked Qq. 141 comprises

three separate treatises by al-MaqrizI, to wit (i) adli-

D/iahabu'l-masbuk, (2) 'Ibanin-na/d, and (3) at-Turfatu'l-

gharlba. Each of these is described separately^ according

to alphabetical order of titles, the first under i (No. 442),

the second under c (No. 664), and the third under J9

(No. 655), by which plan the first (called Qq. 141\) and

the third (Qq. 141^) are respectively associated, each in

its own place, with another copy of the same work, while

the whole composite MS. is only described once, under

article 442, to which a reference is made in the subsequent

articles.

PREFACE. IX

Of course it was evident from the first that there would

remain a considerable residue of " untitled " MSS., manu-

scripts, that is to say, which in the nature of things lacked a

title (such as collections of letters, memoranda, common-place

books, miscellanies and the like), or which were so mutilated

as to render identification impossible, or which had accidentally

been left untitled, and which I could not identify with the

means at my disposal. These " untitled manuscripts " had,

therefore, to be arranged according to subjects (the system

employed by Dr Rieu in his British Museum Catalogues

being generally followed) in a separate class, which constitutes

Part II of this volume.

Lastly, for the Library officials (whose point of view must

necessarily be bibliographical rather than literary, and by

whom one work in four volumes is regarded as four manu-

scripts, while one volume containing four separate works is

regarded as one) it was necessary to arrange all the MSS.

according to order of class-marks, and to indicate opposite

each the article or articles under which its description might

be found. This portion constitutes Part III of this volume,

which concludes with an Index of proper names (those of

authors, scribes and former owners being distinguished by

appropriate signs, according to the plan adopted in myPersian Catalogue)^ including some titles of books mentioned

out of the alphabetical order adopted in Part I, and a few

references of a more general character.

Such was the plan of the Hand-list as it shaped itself in

my mind, but in practice I have not been able to carry it out

with entire consistency. In the first place, some of the titles

in Part I are, I must confess, more or less fictitious (e.g. Nos.

174, 186, 206, 247, 270, 438 &c.), being descriptive

rather than specific ; while the bringing together of most of

the Epistolary Manuals under the heading Inshd in Part I

instead of under " Collections of Letters " in Part II is, strictly

speaking, a violation of the original scheme. Moreover, some

Page 14: Handlist of Islamic Manuscripts in Uni of Cambridge - Browne - 1900

X PREFACE.

voluincs c()nlainiii<^ ;i dozen vv more separate small treatises

have, even when all or most of these treatises had titles,

been described in Part II under " MSS. of mixed contents"

(pp. 336-341 i)ifra)y contrary to a consistent adhesion to the

original plan, and, as I am bound to admit, mainly to avoid

the trouble of so many separate entries. Lastly, while the

Hand-list was passing through the Press I was appointed for

one year (June 1899—June 1900) to the newly-established

post of Curator of the Oriental MSS. in the University

Library, and naturally took advantage of this circumstance

to add by purchase, so far as our funds allowed, as many

desirable manuscripts of this class as possible to our collection.

Many of these were acquired too late for insertion under their

titles in Part I, and for them a supplement (pp. 250-272 infra)

had to be added; while the "most recent additions" (acquired

during the course of this year) had to be merely recorded at

the end (pp. 397 et seqq.) with a few brief words of general

description.

The title of this Hand-list, again, is open to criticism,

since it includes a good many Christian and some Hindu

and ParsI works. The epithet " Muhammadan" is, therefore,

to be understood as meaning " written wholly or partly in

the Arabic character," which character is essentially the

vehicle of Muhammadan literature. Some such brief epithet

was needed for purposes of definition, and this was the best

that suggested itself A more accurately descriptive title

would have been too cumbrous for ordinar)- use, and the

classification of manuscripts in a library according to the

character in which they are written is evidently the most

convenient. Of all MSS. written with Arabic letters which

came within my ken I was bound to take note, but it would

have been impossible for me to wade through those written

in the Syriac or Hebrew character, on the chance of coming

upon Karshijni treatises in the former or Judaeo-Persian or

Arabic compilations in the latter. I have also included in

Page 15: Handlist of Islamic Manuscripts in Uni of Cambridge - Browne - 1900

PREFACE. xi

the Hand-list two MSS. vvTi'tten chiefly in the Pahlavl script

(Add. 328 and Add. 329), and one ancient Egyptian

fragment (Add. 1859), as well as certain others {e.g. Mm. 4.

1 1 and Mm. 5. 26), which, though essentially Muhammadan,

are written in Latin or some other Western language.

The obvious defect of the plan which I have adopted in

the construction of this Hand-list is that, while it is easy for

any student to ascertain at once whether or no a given work

or a particular author is represented in our collection, it is

not possible to see at a glance to what extent the literature

of a given subject is represented. This, however, is of less

consequence in a collection like ours (which, compared to

those of the British Museum, the India Office and the

Bodleian, is poor and meagre) than it would be in the case

of one more ample and more representative ; and it may,

perhaps, be to some extent remedied by the following brief

list of some of the rarer works which we possess. Only the

more important of these are here mentioned, and, for simplicity,

they are arranged under a few headings.

PREFACE. XV

B. M. T. C. (also cited as " Rieu's Turkish Catalogue ")• Catalogue

of the Ttirkish Manuscripts in the British Museum, by Charles Rieu,

Ph.D. (London, 1888). I cannot refrain from again expressing in this

place my profound admiration for these splendid monuments of Professor

Rieu's wonderful erudition and industry, which will ever remain the

exemplar and model of all future cataloguers.

P. C. ( = " Persian Catalogue of the Cambridge University Library").

A Catalogue of the Persian Manuscripts in the Library of the University

of Cambridge, by Edward G. Browne (Cambridge, 1896). Except in the

case of recent additions, the Persian MSS. are not redescribed in this

Hand-list, but merely mentioned in their proper places, with a reference

to the description contained in the Persian Catalogue.

Other works less often cited, and with less abbreviated

titles, are :

Berl. A. C. (or "Cat. of Berlin Arabic MSS."). Verzeichniss der

Arabischen Hatidschriftcn der Koniglichen Bibliothck zu Berlin, by\V. Ahlwardt (Berlin, 1887- ).

BerL P. C. (or "Cat. of Berlin Persian MSS.," or "Berlin Pers.

Cat."). Verzeichniss der Persischen Handschriften, etc., by WilhelmPertsch (Berlin, 1888).

BerL T. C. (or "Cat. of Berlin Turkish MSS.," or "Berlin Turk.

Cat.")- Verzeichniss der Tiirkischen Handschriften, etc., by WilhelmPertsch (Berlin, 1889).

The titles of the other books most frequently cited are, I

think, sufficiently clearly indicated. Chief amongst these are :

Carl Brockelmann's Geschichte der Arabischen Litteratur (Weimar,

1897- ) ; A. G. Ellis's Catalogue of Arabic [printed] Books in the

Detitsches Morgenldndisches Gesellschaffj and a few other books and

periodicals which will be identified without difficulty.

It is, I confess, with no little satisfaction that I pen these

last lines of the Hand-list, which, defective and faulty as it

may be, represents the labour (intermittent, it is true, but

seldom interrupted for long during term-time) of some eight

years. That this labour was by no means merely mental will

be readily understood when I mention that during this period

I have not only numbered with my own hand the pages of

most of these manuscripts, but have carried almost every one

of them at least once from the Library to my rooms and back.

What the whole collection weighs I do not know ; but, taking

into consideration the staircases at both ends of the transit,

I should imagine that the number of foot-pounds of physical

labour which this volume represents would (were it worth

calculation) be very far from insignificant.

Yet for all the weariness of the task, it was not without

compensations: the occasional discovery of some inestimable

treasure ; the wider knowledge of Oriental palaeography,

bibliography and literary history which it compelled ; the

growing admiration of that great civilisation of Islam which

we are even now but beginning to comprehend. In the midst

of that disgust which would at times overpower me as I waded

through the crabbed characters of some particularly dusty,

dirty, disreputable document, incapable, as it would seem, of

awakening any spark of interest, how often would it happen

that some utterly human voice would reach me from the

dead scribe, bidding me be ashamed to grudge a few brief

moments to the monument of his long labour. Of such

echoes from the past, one especially runs in my mind with

insistent iteration, and with it I am fain to conclude*.

One volume, defective at beginning, containing part {^viz.

the letter c) of a large biographical dictionary of eminent

men of Baghdad. The volume is described in an English

note at the beginning as part of the well-known work of

al-KhatIb al-Baghdadi, and more accurately in another note

by Professor Samuel Lee as " the third volume of a supple-

ment " to that work. That al-KhatIb [d. A. H. 463] is not the

author is evident from the fact that many of the biographical

notices embodied in the volume refer to persons who died

early in the 7th century of the hijra (A.H. 615 is the latest date

that I have noticed) ; and from the large scale on which the

work is conceived it seems impossible that this should be

the entire third volume, seeing that it contains only names

beginning with the letter c, such as the names compounded

with j^, the names j-o.c, o^*-^' l5^' chW^- j^—*^' 5,U*, &c.,

these names not being arranged in strict alphabetical order.

Numerous supplements were written at different times of al-

Khatlb's i^ieat work, two of which, as we learn from H. Kh.

A copy by Prof J. Palmer of a note of Dr Lee's, written in

answer to the enquiries of M. Amari of Paris, runs as follows :

" There can be no doubt that this MS. was written by the

same scribe who wrote out the Arabic Gospels from which

Erpenius printed his Arabic Testament. This MS. is in the

Public Library here, with the class-mark Gg. 5. 33. Andthis MS. has a date attached to it in the same handwriting"...

Fragments of a very extensive history of the Caliphs (or

These fragments amount in all to 90 ff. [of 272 x i8'3 c. and

31 11.; fairly clear but ungraceful naskh, apparently of 15th

century] and form five separate portions of the history,

separated by lacunas of greater or less extent. Besides the

division into years there is also a division into chapters, of

which the numeration commences anew for the 'Abbasid

Caliphs, each chapter comprising the reign of a Caliph. The

firstfragment (fif. 1-6) contains part of chs. xii and xiii (reigns

of Yazid III and Ibrahim: A. H. 126). The second fragment

(ff. 7-16) contains part of chs. xiii and xiv, and chiefly consists

of notices of persons who died in A. H. 126, especially of

Walld II. The third fragment is a single leaf (f 17) contain-

ing four entire and two incomplete biographical notices of

persons who died about A. H. 126-128. The fowth fragment

(ff. 18-42) contains part of chs. i and ii (reigns of as-Saffah

and al-Mansur, A. H. 133-138) of the 'Abbasid period. The

fifth, largest and last fragment (fif. 43-90) comprises part of

chs. xi-xv (reigns of al-Muntasir—al-Mu'tamid, A.H. 247-264).

Amongst other authorities, our historian cites (f 15^, 4th 1.

from end) the MazudiTdt of Shaykh Jamalu'd-Din b. al-JawzT

(d. A. H. 597 : see de Slane's Ibn Khallikan, vol. ii, pp. 96-98),

so that he evidently wrote subsequently to that date. The

manner in which he speaks of the Imam al-Hasan b. 'All al-

'Askarl (f 80^) would suggest that he was a Shl'ite ; and in

the course of this notice he cites a work by his grandfather on

the tinlaiufulness of zvinc (which may give a clue to his identity)

Transcript by Sir James Redhouse of 'All b. al-Hasaji al-

entitled al-^nqudiil-hi hiiyya fl akhbdrid-DaivlatPr-Rasfi/iyya,

together with his English translation, annotations, indices,

tables, and maps, in five volumes. Vol. i. Add. 2937,comprising 769 pp. of \y6x i ro c. and 15 11., contains the

text, transcribed in Sir James Redhouse's neat, scholarly

naskh, fully pointed, from the unique MS. in the India Office

Library (a gift of Warren Hastings) described at pp. 203-204

of Loth's Catalogue (No. 710). In a short Arabic preface

Sir James Redhouse explains the motives which led him to

transcribe, translate, and annotate this work, and, in gratitude

for the degree oi Doctor 0/ LeUers conferred upon him in June

1884, to present the completed results of this immense labour

to the University of Cambridge, there to be preserved in the

Public Library. The substance of this preface is repeated in

the English preface of vol. ii, Add. 2938, which, together

with vol. iii. Add. 2939, contains the English translation,

preceded by tables of contents and an introduction of 115 pp.

The paging in these two volumes is consecutive ; the first

contains pp. cxv + 741, the second ends with p. 1538. These

two vols., as well as the two following, are of a larger size than

this vol. gives Aug. 8th, 1888, as the date whereon Sir James

Redhouse terminated this labour of love. The five volumes

are handsomely bound in tooled morocco and gilt-edged, and

Malay, the first {^. i''-i8=') on the Interpretation of Dreams ;

the second (ff. 19^-25^) a fragment of a reh'gious treatise,

defective at beginning. It is thus described by Dr Van

Ronkel of Leyden to whom it was submitted :—

" Not dated;

small octavo. Two different fragments are bound together and

intermixed." [The pages have now been replaced in the right

order.] "I. ..is a treatise on interpretation of dreams. The

author says in the introduction that his work is divided into

twenty chapters, viz. dreams of heaven; of men; of animals;

of trees, mountains, houses and all lofty things ; of clothes

;

of the sea and rivers ; of birds ; of reptiles ; of meat ; of

perfumes and odours ; of faithfulness towards God ; of fire;

of towns and villages ; of weapons ; of all kinds of deeds ; of

earth, stone and jewels ; of fruit ; of music ; of fishing and

fowling; of various things. But the MS. ends abruptly at

ch. vi. 1 1...A fragment of a religious book. It presents

many Arabic phrases and words, and appears to be translated

from the Arabic. This fragment treats of the knowledge of

God's Power ; of the behaviour of men towards God ; and of

the way to God. There is nothing remarkable about the

spelling or language of either part."

while this MS., though itself written in A. II. 1074, professes to

be transcribed from one (probably an autograph) dated A. II.

306. But it is obvious that there is a serious error (of at least

300 years) in the date assigned to the original .MS. in the

colophon, for from the introduction it appears that it was

dedicated to the Atdbak SJiihdlm'd-Dln Tiighril Beg, who fell

from power in A. H. 629 (A. D. 123 1-2) and died in A. 11. 631

The copy of which the fragment forms part was divided into

three volumes as follows :—vol. i, A-J ; vol. ii, H-M ; vol. iii,

N-Y. But that from which the remainder was transcribed

must have been divided into three volumes differently thus :

vol. i, A-R; vol. ii, Z-M ; vol. iii, N-Y. Of the old copy

volumes i and iii are wanting, and vol. ii consisted originally

of 190 leaves, of which i, 2, 33-38, 41-50, 61-110, 112-119,

189 and 190 are now wanting. I have numbered the leaves

of this copy on the upper inner margin ; and have put

signatures to the quires, aa-tt. The made-up copy, as it nowstands, consists of 343 leaves, which I have numbered on the

upper oiiter margin throughout. I have also put signatures

to the quires as follows:—vol. i, foil. 1-160, a*-x* ; vol. ii,

foil. 161-237, aa*-kk* ; vol. iii, foil. 238-343, aaa*-lll*." [The

leaves measure 25*4 x i6"3 c, and contain 21 11. in the old

parts, and 25 11. in the new. The old is in a fine, clear naskh,

fully pointed ; the new in a fair naskh with rubrications.

A good copy of the rare and curious work entitled

NiJidyatiil-irab fl akhbdril-Furs ivdl-Arab ila akJidlnl-

Mnslhni7i Fdi's, containing the legendary and actual history

of the Arabs and Persians (especially the Sasanian dynasty)

down to the Muhammadan Conquest. Although the alleged

compilation of this work by 'Amir ash-SJui'bl (a. H. 19-104),

Ayyub b. al-Qirriyya (put to death by al-Hajjaj b. Yusuf early

in the 8th century of our era) and the celebrated 'Abdu'lldJi

b. al-Mnqnjfd (put to death in A. H. 139) is, for chronological

reasons, hardly possible, while the preamble by al-Asvia'i

(d. ait. 90 in A. H. 828), u ho is stated to have re-edited

and supplemented the work for Harunu'r-Rashid, is vcr\'

suspicious, the actual contents of the book, especially in what

concerns Sasanian history, appear to merit more attention

than is implied in the disparaging remarks of Professor

Alexander, and of its subsequent history down to the time

of the Ottoman Sultans Orkhan, Murad I, Bayazld I and

his son Prince Sulayman, during whose brief rule at Adria-

1337 LI. 5. 29

A Turkish Reading-book and Manual of Devotion, be-

ginning with the isolated letters of the alphabet and their

with instructions for performing the different prayers and

the text of the said prayers. [Ff 58 of 207 x I4"5 c. and

9 11.; good Turkish naskh; rubrications; no date or colo-

but ill its present state the MS. actually contains only ff. 85

of I4'6 X iO"2 c. and 8 11.; poor naskh ; rubrications ; some

pages almost obliterated ; no colophon.]

1339 LI. 6. 271

A collection of prayers, beginning with one to be used in

sea-fights (^a^M w>/». e^i). [The MS., comprising altogether

ff. 118, consists of four parts, of which parts 2 and 3 have

been described above under Nos. 1207 and 12 10. The first

portion contains 24 written leaves (pp. 48) of 147 x iO'5 c.

explanations.]

Eighteen leaves (of i&t, x 20"2 c. and 9 11.) from a Moorish

1341 Add. 3499

An African Our'an, apparently incomplete, and mixed up

with fragments of other religious works, hopelessly disar-

ranged, in a cow-skin wallet or case. There are about 296

leaves (of 20'3 x I5'8 c. and, in most parts, about 10 11. to the

page), most of which are entirely detached, so that, since in

addition to this the catch-words are often wanting, it would

require an amount of time and labour altogether dispropor-

tionate to the result to arrange them in order. It is, more-

over, very doubtful whether all the leaves are extant. Leaves

from different books in different African hands (all very

coarse and bad) are commingled.

1342 Add. 3501

An African prayer-book in a leather case fastening with

a leather thong. It consists of several different parts, and

comprises in all 138 ff. of 1 12 x 8*3 c. and 7 11.; large, coarse,

clear African hand, rubrications and pointing in red ; no date

or title. The first portion begins with an account of the

Rijdlii l-ghayb. The contents, however, are chiefly prayers.

to be identified, but is of a religious character, though it

appears to contain traditions of the Prophet rather than

prayers.

1496 Add. 3198A volume of 60 ff., representing fragments of numerous

different MSS. in various handwritings. The leaves measure

i6"8 X \\2 c, or somewhat less, and contain a varying

number of lines. None of the fragments are complete, none

seem to be of any value, and in most cases leaves taken from

the same fragment are arranged in wrong order. The principal

contents are:—(i) Ff. 1-4. A few Turkish letters, with someinterlinear glosses in Italian. (2) F. 5. One leaf from an

Arabic religious work. (3) Ff. 6-^. Three pages from the

Turkish dtivdn of Sham'I. (4) Ff.9-14. Part of the well-known

Arabic poem entitled the Bnrda. (5) Ff. 15-18. Another

Arabic qasTda rhyming in ^. (6) Ff. 19-24. Fragment from

the Qur'an, and a leaf or two from some other Arabic book.

Fragments of prayers and homilies, hopelessly mis-arranged.

transcribed in a MaghribI hand. This worthless volume

hardly merits so much description.

[1501-1509] BuRCKiiARDT Pai-ers. [Add. 273 Add. 282

1501 Add. 273

A volume of 184 numbered (blank) pages of 36-8 x 2y\ c,

into which are fastened a number of papers and letters thus

described in a note on the inside of the cover. " The papers

contained in this book were selected from a larger number

entrusted by the late Mr Louis Hurckhardt, the Oriental

traveller, to the care of Mr John Fiott, now Dr Lee. They

were sent from Damascus in June, 1812, and received at

Malta in April, 18 14. Some of the parcels were endorsed

with directions that they should not be opened until the

year 1820, unless Mr Burckhardt should return to England

before that period. On receiving intelligence of the death of

Mr Burckhardt at Cairo in 18 19, Dr Lee thought it right to

open the parcels in the presence of the Rev. G. C. Renouard,

one of Mr Burckhardt's friends, in order to examine their

contents. Some of the parcels contained letters and other

documents of a private nature. These were either destroyed,

or sent to the persons who appeared to have a claim to them.

Several contained literary exercises, extracts and notes, which

Dr Lee and his friend thought they might venture to retain

as memorials of the indefatigable industr}- of one whose

talents and perseverance they had often admired. Ihe re-

mainder contained letters, extracts from manuscripts, fermans

and other official papers in the Oriental languages, evidently

collected as specimens of different kinds of literar)- composi-

tion, and as such presenting useful information for the Arabic

student. These, it appeared in the opinion of Mr Renouard,

most proper to preserve, and they therefore have been by

that gentleman arranged and inserted in this volume, now

presented to the University of Cambridge with a request

that it may be permitted to be placed in the University

Library with the other books and papers bequeathed to the

University by the liberality of Mr Burckhardt in his will.

December, 1823." There are in all 45 pieces and 4 drawings

(an Arab of Aleppo, a Bedouin woman, a tent of the Bedouin

Arabs, and a battle from some European design). A com-

plete list of these documents in Renouard's hand is prefixed

to the volume. The pieces include vocabularies, dialogues,

extracts, remarks on the coffee-trade at Aleppo in A.D. 1805,

a list of current prices in Aleppo in A.D. 1809, a Druze

catechism, lists of governors and officials, a genealogy of

Jazzar Pasha, Police-regulations of Aleppo, table of cyphers,

account of an engagement between the Turks and VVahhabis

near Baghdad in September, a copy of the forged covenant

of Muhammad the Prophet with the Christians, questions

concerning the Rihanlu tribe, geographical memoranda on

Syria and the Hawran, verses, petitions, letters, biiyuriddns,

agreements, receipts, certificate of horse's pedigree and

1530 Add. 18981-8

This fragment comprises eight separate pieces, contained

in three covers. Add. 1898^ is described under No. 1373

(p. 302) supra. Add. 1898^"^ consists of two portions, each

containing ff. 4 of 200 x 150 c. and about 50 11. in double

columns. Both contain collations of an Arabic text, dealing,

apparently, with Jewish history, and containing a few words

also in the Samaritan character. Add. 1898*"^ comprises

5 fragments bound together in one cover, the first (4) con-

sisting of 8 ff. of i8'0 X I r3 c; the second (5) also of 8 ff. of

the same size; the tJiird (6) of 2 ff. of I4"8 x lo'oc. ; the

fourth (7) of 3 ff. uniform with the last ; the fifth (8) of one

single leaf uniform with the first and second. The first

begins with an account of the mission of Moses for the

deliverance of the Jews, and ends with a statement of the

various important events in the history of the Children of

Israel which happened on the ?»—iJl j^. The second com-

prises 43 short sections or chapters on Jewish histor)'',

beginning with Joshua the son of Nun. The third appears

to be a continuation of the last, from the middle of ch. 43 to

the end of ch. 45, which is followed by a sort of doxology.

The fourth contains an account of Alexander the Great.

The fifth contains only a few variants (13 11.) furnished by

the collation of two texts.

inscribed on one side in the Samaritan character, and im-

pressed with a seal bearing in the centre the words iiAJs

Nablus. The fourth is an Arabic letter, apparently addressed

to Petermann by the Samaritans of Nablus, to which are

prefixed some remarks in German. The fifth is in German,

bearing an endorsement in the Samaritan character. Thesixth bears on one side 9 11. of Samaritan, with interlinear

Arabic translation, and on the other, in pencil, 1 1 11. of

Rabbinic, the words \\a- a-^ ^^j-a^-o, and a specimen of the

artificial script known in Persia as Kliatt-i-sarvl (see myYear amongst the Persians, pp. 391-2), or some similar

form of cryptography. The seventh is a single leaf of 2r5 x

I3'5 c, bearing on one side 19 11. in the Samaritan character,

and on the back words forming the latter half of an Arabic

address which seem to read :— «f^Aj ^b oj-o-JI c>*>^ O'j-*^ • • •

The eighth is a single small leaf, on one side of which arc

inscribed in pencil four lines of Samaritan. The ninth is a

large sheet of 496 x 27-0 c. written over with Samaritan

volumes being arranged on the shelves according to size. These sizes

were formerly reckoned like ages, so that, for instance, all volumes

over 9 and under lo inches ifi height were marked (9), and so on.

Recently, however, the practice has been to take the nearest number

of inches, so that, for example, a MS. of which the height exceeds

()% inches is marked (10), not (9). The italic letters follozving these

numbers indicate the language or languages in wJiich the MS. in

question is written, viz.—a. Arabic ; af. Afghani or Pakhtu ; copt.

Coptic ; e. English;

ger. German;

gr. Greek \ h. Hindustani or

Urdu; heb. Hebrew; //. Italian; /. Latin; m. Malay; /. Persian;

pahl. Pahlavi; panf. Panjabi ; sp. a. Spanish in Arabic character

("Textos Aljamiados ") ; syr. Syriac ; /. Turkish. /// the second

colujnn are noted the sources whence the MSS. ^cere derived, so far as

these can now be ascertained, together ivith the date of acquisition. The

numbers in the third and last column indicate the articles under which

the MSS. are respectively described, either in Part /(Nos. 1-1294)

or Fart IK^o'i. 1295-1541). Of some composite MSS. fully described

in my Persian Catalogue [Cambridge, 1S96) only the more important

contents are noticed in this Pfand-list under separate headings. In such

cases a reference to that ivork {denoted by the abbreviation P. C.) folloxvs

the number or numbers in the third colufnn.
