- Description:
- Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center Isl. Ms. 570Origin: As appears in colophpon on fol.191a (p. 381) copied by Muḥammad ibn ʻAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Sayyār [?] but date and place of copying are not specified.Accompanying materials: Acquisitions slip from Yahuda.Former shelfmark: From spine label and inscription on interior of upper cover, "IL 70" (likely supplied by Yahuda).Binding: Pasteboards covered in European laid paper with brown leather (goatskin) along edges/turn-ins, spine, and foreedge flap; Type II binding (with flap) ; interior of envelope flap and foreedge flap in same brown leather ; appears to date from the time of the page replacements and inserted table of contents, i.e. likely the late 17th century ; in fair condition, though the upper cover is beginning to detach, lower endband has suffered some damage exposing core and primaries, hinge of the upper cover is splitting, quires after the first are rather tightly bound, and linings of upper and lower covers show leather burn from the turn-ins and hinge ; codex is severly cocked (spine slant).Support: non-European laid paper (Possibly post-1350 14th century Syro-Egyptian, see Loveday p. 83), somewhat thick and soft almost to the point of flocculence ; laid and chain lines are very difficult to discern ; laid lines run horizontally and are set closely together ; chain lines are occasionally visible, in once case what appears to be a set of 3 chainlines 11-12 mm. apart and a set of 2 chainlines 14-15 mm. apart, with the two sets roughly 22 mm. apart ; a European paper is used for the replaced leaves and for the added ternion at the beginning of the codex (carrying the table of contents) with vertical chain lines roughly 26-27 mm. apart and bearing a watermark of paschal lamb enclosed in a four-lobed circle, approx. 50 x 50 mm., similar but far from identical to Heawood 2840 (Verona, 1678), Piccard inv. J 340/no. 86801 (Innsbruck, 1625), and Piccard inv. J 340/no. 86802 (Venice, 1662) ; likely late 17th c. Italian (of special interest for dating the cover given that these repairs and additions seem to have been done when the cover was installed) ; some interesting reinforcements/page repairs done using waste from another old manuscript (see fol. 21a/p. 41).Decoration: Text rubricated with overlining referring to the glosses in red ; an iron-gall ink, now significantly browned, was used until fol. 145a (p. 289), where the scribe switched to a carbon-based ink which is still quite black ; figure accompanying the text appears in the margin of fol. 125b (p. 250).Script: Naskh ; same Syro-Egyptian hand throughout (including the vast majority of the gloss and with the exception of the replaced leaves) with tapering, non-serifed alifs and a mix of open and closed counters (tending towards open) ; both the lām alif al-mukhaffafah and al-warrāqīyah are used and kāf mabsūṭah is sometimes used ; fully pointed and occasionally vocallized.Layout: Written in 17 lines per page ; frame-ruled.Collation: IV+III (14), 16 IV(142), III(148), 5 IV(188), I+1 (191), i ; chiefly quaternions ; anomalous first quire is a quaternion into which a ternion has been sewn after the first leaf ; fol.8 and fol.191 are replacements on a different paper and in a different hand ; foliation in Hindu-Arabic numerals beginning at fol.9, added later and occasionally suppolied in red ink over the marginal gloss (seefol.186a / p.371) ; catchwords occasionally present with many likely lost to trimming ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied and referenced in cataloguing.Colophon: "Scribal," triangular, reads: "وقد تم هذا الكتاب الخطير الشهير بالجامع الصغير بعناية الملك القدير على يدي اضعف عباده تعالى واحوجهم اليه تعالى وافقرهم الى مغفرة الله تعالى محمد بن عبد الرحمن بن سيار [؟] غفر الله له ولوالديه واحسن اليهما واليه تم تم تم"Explicit: "فكذلك ما شرع لاجله الا ان المسلمين في سعة حتى يحتاج اليهم لانه فرض كفاية يتادى بالبعض ولالن المقصود اذا حصل بالبعض لم يبق فرضا لعدمه حتى يحتاج اليهم وذلك ان يعم النفير لان المقصود ههنا لا يحصل ببعضهم فيصير من فروض الاعيان والله اعلم واحكم"Incipit: "رب يسر ولا تعسر الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلوة والسلام على خير خلقه محمد واله وصحبه الطيبين الطاهرين اجمعين قال الشيخ الامام الاجل حسام الدين عمر بن عبد العزيز البخاري اما بعد فان مشايخنا رحمهم الله يعظمون هذا الكتاب تعظيما ويقدمون على سائر الكتاب تقديما..."Title from inscription on fol.1a (p.1).Ms. codex.Ḥusām al-Dīn ʻUmar ibn ʻAbd al-ʻAzīz al-Ṣadr al-Shahīd al-Bukhārī's revision and explanation of al-Jāmiʻ al-ṣaghīr attributed to Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Shaybānī (d.189/804), a work of Ḥanafī fiqh representing the legal opinions developed by and around Abū Ḥanīfah.
