- Description:
- Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center Isl. Ms. 479Origin: Lengthy audition statement following the text on fol.6a (p.11) indicates that al-Ḥāfiẓ Abū Ṭāhir al-Silafī heard the text as read by its owner ʻAbd al-Ghanī ibn ʻAbd al-Wāḥid al-Maqdisī [al-Jammāʻīlī] in the presence of other auditors in Alexandria during the first 10th of Dhū al-Qaʻdah 569 [June 1174], thus establishing a firm terminus ante quem for the manuscript's transcription. It was likely copied by ʻAbd al-Ghanī al-Maqdisī not long before the audition, possibly also in Alexandria.Accompanying materials: a. Inventory cataloguing slip in hand of Winifred Smeaton Thomas. -- b. Acquisitions slip from Yahuda. -- c.
