Anwār khulāṣat al-ḥisāb أنوار خلاصة الحساب
Sahāranfūrī, ʿIṣmat Allāh ibn Aʿẓam سهارنفوري، عصمة الله بن أعظم
- Scope & Content:
-
A commentary by ʿIṣmat Allāh ibn Aʿẓam ibn ‘Abd al-Rasūl al-Sahāranfūrī (عصمة الله بن أعظم بن عبد الرسول السهارنفوري, or Sahāranpūrī سهارنپوری, d. ca 1690, see f. 127r, line 4) on the popular Summa of Arithmetic (خلاصة الحساب) by Bahā’ al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Ḥusayn al-‘Āmilī (بهاء الدين محمد بن حسين العاملي; d. 1621).
The text of the commentary was completed on 19 Dhū al-Ḥijjah 1086/5 March 1676 (f. 127r, lines 2-3) and the present copy was finished on 10 Muḥarram 1105/11 September 1693 (the scribe gives 1505 in error) in the town of Jaljalah (جَلجَلة), a suburb of Bijapur in the Deccan, during the reign of ʿAlamgīr (Aurangzeb, reg. 1658-1707). It was copied by the scribe ʿAbd al-Bāqī ibn al-Qāḍī Muḥammad ʿĀshiq (عبد الباقي بن القاضي محمد عاشق), an inhabitant of the citadel of Fīrūzpūr (see colophon, f. 127r, lines 9-14).
Folios 2-4 are replacements, in a different hand and f. 17 is an insert. Content headings up to the Fifth Chapter are written out on f. 127v with the remainder now lost.
Begins (f. 2v, lines 1-3):
سبحان من عنده علم الحساب لصفات كماله وأسمائه وله علم العدد لجمع آياته وقسمة نعمائه
وصلوة وسلاما على من كان بظهوره تفريق أهل البغى والطغيان وبقدومه تنصيف أهل الفسق
والكفران وعلى آله الذين يضرب من سعيهم تضعيف صحيح الدين وكسر أعدائه...
Ends: (f. 126v, line 16-127r, line 1):
... وهذا كما أوصى الشيخ في الإشارات
بالبخل عن تعليم الحكمة لمن ليس من أهل الإشارات فإن لم يكن المخاطب من أهل هذا
الكتاب ...
Authorial colophon (f. 127r, lines 1-5):
... فلنسكت عن شرح الحساب قد اتفق جفاف قلم اللسان عن تصوير هذا
الصرح وفراغ لسان القلم عن تقرير هذا الشرح في التاسع عشر من شهر ذي الحجة
من سنة ست وثمانين وألف من الهجرة ذي الحجة وأنا العبد الضعيف أعصى
عباد الله الغفور عصمة الله ابن أعظم بن عبد الرسول ساكن بسهارنفور من مضافات
دهلي شاهجهان آباد...
Scribal colophon (f. 127r, lines 9-14).
حصل تنوير أرقام أنوار خلاصة الحساب شرح خلاصة الحساب في علم الحساب في العاشر
من شهر محرم الحرام من سنة خمس وخمسمائة ! وألف من الهجرية ذات الاحترام في القرية جَلجَلة
من مضافات بيجافور بلاد دكن أيام إقامة الرايات العاليات السلطانية العالمكيرية
فيها وأنا أحقر عباد الله وأعصى خلائق الله المتراجي إلى رحمة الله الخالق متمكنا بالجمل
الواثق عبد الباقي بن القاضي محمد عاشق من أحقر ساكني قصبة فيروزفور ...
... من منقبات دهلي شاهجهان آباد ...
