Excerpts from the Risālah fī al-Ṣināʿah al-falsafīyah (رسالة في الصناعة الفلسفية)
al-Sayyid al-Sharīf al-Bukhārī al-Naqshabandī السيد الشريف البخاري النقشبندي
- Scope & Content:
-
Excerpts from the Risālah fī al-Ṣināʿah al-falsafīyah by al-Sayyid al-Sharīf al-Bukhārī al-Naqshabandī, a native of Constantinople (see scribal correction above line 2, f. 111r). The compiler explains his method of abridgement and tells us a bit more about this unknown author in a note appended to the title (f. 111r): وهو جمع رسالته من كتب الصنعة ولم يكن واصلاً من الصنعة بشيء فأخذنا من رسالته ما كان مشروعًا ومعقولاً وتركنا ما كان واهيًا مجهولاً ‘He [sc. al-Bukhārī al-Naqshabandī] compiled his treatise from the books of alchemy and had no direct connection with alchemy at all. We took from his treatise what is lawful and reasonable and we left what is trivial and obscure.’
Directly after the colophon there follow eleven lines in the same hand which are apparently not part of the same text because they have been struck through, and partially erased to make room for the colophon.
Begins (f. 111r, lines 2 - 6):قال الشيخ السيد البخاري رحمه الله في رسالة له في الصناعة الفلسفيةالباب الثاني في معرفة صحّة وجود الصنعة بالدلائل الشرعية منها قوله تعالىومما يوقدون عليه في النار ابتغاء حلية أو متاع زبده مثله فالخالق سبحانه وتعالى عيّن عبادَه بأنّهسخّر لهم النارَ في تحصيل الحلي أصولاً وفروعًا أي جسدًا وهيئةً وفي تحصيل كل ما يحتاج إلىالنار ...
Ends (f. 112, lines 5 - 8):... وقال ينبغي أن يكون الكانون شبرين في شبرين وعلوهامثل عرضها وتجعل له ثقبة خلفه من أعلاه لمصروف الدخان وباب الكانون شبر في شبرٍوينبغي أن يكون الكانون مهندمًا والوقيد على ثلثة أنواع أحدها الحطبوالثاني بالفحم والثالث بالسرجين يعني الزبل ...
Colophon (f. 112, line 8):... تمت الفوائد الملقطة من رسالة السيد البخاري رحمه الله
