Commentary on Gulshan-i raz
Contents
1 copy of Mafātīḥ al-iʿjāz fī Sharḥ Gulshan-i rāz by Shams al-Dīn Muḥammad "Asīrī" Lāhījī
The celebrated prose commentary on Gulshan-i rāz, the great Sufi metaphysical poem of Maḥmūd Shabistarī (d. ca. 720/1320). By Shams al-Dīn Muḥammad Asīrī Lāhījī (d. ca. 912/1506).
On these authors and their works, see J.T.P. de Bruijn, ‘Maḥmūd b. ‘Abd al-Karīm b. Yaḥyà Shabistarī’, EI2, VI, pp. 72-3; A.H. Zarrinkoob, ‘Lāhīdjī’, EI2, V, pp. 603-4.
The importance of the present manuscript lies in the fact that according to the colophon, it was copied directly from the author's autograph.
Begins: ‘Basmalah... Bismik al-Aʿẓam al-shāmil fayz̤uh al-muqaddas li-kull... al-munavvir ẓulumāt al-ʿadam bi-anvār al-vujūd. Ay Maḥmūd ba-har lisān (?) va Maʿbūd ba-har makān...’
Ends: ‘Ba-nām-i khvīsh kardam khatm pāyān / Ilāhī ʿāqibat maḥmūd gardān, Yaʿnī Badānīd kih nām-i valī niʿmat chih būdah ast khatm-i īn kitāb ba-nām-i khvud kardam... Va nām-i shaykh-i buzurgvār nāẓim Mawlānā Sadīd al-Dīn Maḥmūd-i Shabistarī būdah. Shabistar mawz̤iʿīst dar hasht farsangī-'i shahr-i Tabrīz va madfan va mawlad-i īshān hamān'jāst qaddas Allāh sirrah al-ʿazīz’
Colophon, f. 226v. Copied from the autograph (‘ʿan nuskhat al-marqūma (sic) bi-khaṭṭ al-muṣannif’) by Zayn al-ʿĀbidīn known as Zaynā al-Shīrāzī. 1016/1607.
Fine naskhī hand. 30 lines in central text panel; 28 short diagonal lines in outer panel. 226 folios. 17 x 9 cm. Maroon leather binding, later (Indian?) with raised bands.
