engaging catalog covers a variety of arts and sciences. It reviews
many manuscripts on philology and religion, in addition to Kalam and
logic. Moreover, it is distinguished with its contents of invaluable
rarities given the excellence of illumination and binding of some
manuscripts; the antiquity of transcription of some others; or for
being autographs, such as al-Burda
al-Nabawiyya-
‘The Garment of Prophet Muhammad’, by al-Būsayriy,
al-Šadharāt
al-‘Asjadiyya wa al-Nafha al-Mu‘attāra fī Bayān
al-Haqīqa wa al-Majāz wa al-Isti‘āra-
‘Golden Fragments and Aromatic Breaths in Highlighting the True
Sense, Rhetoric and Metaphor’ by ‘Abdullāh al-Mīqātiy,
to name but few.
