Summary

Commentary on the Shamsīyah of Najm al-Dīn ʻUmar ibn ʻAlī Kātibī Qazwīnī with numerous marginal glosses taken from other commentaries on the Shamsīyah. Text begins abruptly, missing approximately 4 pages from the beginning. Leaves 5-7 have been rebound into the text upside down and out of order. Three inserts have been taped to leaves (taped to f. 105v, 107r, 110r).

Notes

• A leaf laid into the manuscript contains notes made in March 1939 by Rev. Peter Barsoum, pastor of the Assyrian-Apostolic Church in Worcester, Mass. He notes that an inscription on the last page indicates that the manuscript was donated by Hadji Ab-Bassim to the school (possibly the school of Bekikhan in the city of Jazir). This leaf of notes is on file in the Library.
