Sharḥ al-Mūjaz al-musammá ḥisāban yasīran شرح الموجز المسمى حسابًا يسيرًا
- Scope & Content:
-
Anonymous commentary on a treatise on arithmetic titled The Summary Called Easy Arithmetic (الموجز المسمى حسابًا يسيرًا), by al-Hadīyah Aḥmad ibn Masʿūd al-Ḥusaynī al-Hargāmī (الهدية أحمد بن مسعود الحسيني الهرگامي, d. 1175/1761-2). The text of the commentary (or perhaps of the text commented upon) was completed in 1150/1737-38 (see f. 199r, line 2, transcribed below).
The lemmata commented upon are rubricated in some sections of the manuscript and overlined in others. The text contains numerous diagrams.
Inscribed slips of paper containing corrections or additions have been pasted over text in places and have been hinged during conservation work in some instances (ff. 34a, 36r, 36v, 65a, 121v, 130a, 130av).
Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-4):
أحمد تحميد حمدًا فهو حامد تحميد ومحمد ألف محامد وبعد فهذا حل اقتباسي في علم الحساب
وجل اقتناصي في هذا الباب في الرسالة تشرح (!) الحساب حسابًا يسيرًا وفي النسخة
تتنسخ نسخه نسخًا كثيرًا فأقول بعون الله الكريم ...
Ends (f. 199r, lines 2-5):
... فتم الكتاب بعون رب العالمين في ألف وماية وخمسين من هجرة سيد المرسلين عليه الصلوة
والسلام وعلى آله وأصحابه الكرام وعلى عبده الضعيف العامي الهدية بن مسعود الحسيني الهركامي
غفر الله له ولوالديه وأحسن إليهما وإليه ورضي الله تعالى عنا وعن جميع المسلمين بحرمة شفيع المجرمين
سيد المرسلين صلى الله عليه وعليهم أجمعين برحمتك يا أرحم الراحمين ...
Colophon (f. 199r, lines 5-6):
... تمت الرسالة المسماة بحسابًا
يسيرًا من تصنيف قدوة المحققين زبدة المدققين مولوي مير سيد الهدية حسيني هركامي
