1 copy of Fawāʼid wāfiyyah bi-ḥall mushkilāt al-Kāfiyyah by Nūr al-Dīn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jāmī
Language(s): Arabic
ff. 1v-382rTitle: Fawāʼid wāfiyyah bi-ḥall mushkilāt al-KāfiyyahTitle: فوائد وافية بحل مشكلات الكافيةIncipit: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لوليه والصلوة على نبيه وعلى آله وأصحابه المتأدبين بآدابه. أما بعد فهذه فوائد وافية بحل مشكلات الكافية للعلامة المشتهر في المشارق والمغارب الشيخ ابن الحاجب تعمده الله بغفرانه وأسكنه بحبوبة جنانه نظمتها في سلك التقرير وسمط التحرير للولد العزيز ضياء الدين يوسف حفظه الله سجانه عن موجبات التهلف والتأسف.Explicit: قد استراح من نكد الانتهاض لنقل هذا الشرح من السواد إلى الأبيض العبد الفقير عبد الرحمن الجامي وفقه الله سجانه في وظايف عبود الإعراض عن مطالبة الأغراض ضحوة السبت الحادي عشر من رمضان المعظم والحمد لله على الابتداء والانتهاء.Colophon: تمت وبالخير عمت هذه النسخة المباركة المسمي بالفوائد الضيائية في علم العربية وذلك بأمر من فاق البرية بالمحاسن السنية والأخلاق الرضية والمكارم المرضية حضرة مولانا ومخدومنا جستس سر وليم يونس الذي هو أحد حكام العدالة العالية السلطانية بدار الأمارة كلكتة المحمية أطال الله بقاءه ووفقه لما يحبه ويرضاه علي يد أضعف العباد عبد الله المكي غفر الله له ولوالديه ولمن أحسن إليهما وإليه يوم الإربعاء لأحد عشر خلين من شهر جمادي الأولى سنة ألف ومايتين وسبع من الهجرة المحمدية المطابق بخمس وعشرين مضين من شهر دسمبر سنة ألف وسبعمائة واثنين وتسعين من العيسوية والحمد لله رب العالمين.On f1r, Jones has written "Al-Cāfiyah: A grammar of the Arabick Language by Ibnu'lḤājib with a Commentary by Mullā Jāmī". This has influenced the cataloguers of the manuscript and both Wilkins and Dennison Ross and Brown have also catalogued this item under that title and author (i.e. al-Kāfiyyah by Ibn al-Ḥājib). However, the manuscript, as clear from both the incipit and the colophon is actually Fawāʾid wāfiyyah bi-ḥall mushkilāt al-Kāfiyyah. This means that the manuscript is only the commentary, written by Jāmī for his son (Ḍiyāʾ), and not actually a copy of al-Kāfiyyah.
The scribe identifies himself as Ḥajj ʿAbd Allāh al-Makkīwho was also responsible for copying MSS 82, 83, 92 and 93 in the Jones collection. He also describes Jones as Justice Sir William Jones and calls him his employer.
Jones has signed f1r "W. Jones 4th Jan 1793, Calcutta". As stated in the colophon, the manuscript was ordered by him and completed on Christmas Day (25th December) 1792 in Kolkata.
Dated in both Hijrī and Gregorian calendars.
