TitleJāmi‘at al-jāmi‘a
DescriptionThis fragment of a manuscript is identified on the recto of its first leaf as Jāmi‘at al-jāmi‘a. It begins just like the work catalogued by Goriawala 88 1HE CATALOGUE (1965), no. 9, which bears the title Risālat jāmi‘at al-jāmi‘a fi’l-ḥaqā’iq, but it is entirely different from the book published by ‘Ārif Tāmir as Risālat jāmi‘at al-jāmi‘a (Beirut, 1959; 2nd edition, 1970). Unlike the last mentioned work it does not seem to have any explicit connection with the 'Treatises of the Sincere Brethren', but I have included it here because of the allusion implied by the title.
This copy breaks off after 32 folios with a loose catchword, continues
after a gap on the folio numbered 84/4 fol. 1 and breaks off again
with a loose catchword on fol. 40b.
DESCRIPTION: 8 unbound quires; 72 folios; catchwords; 11.5 x 7.5 em (6.5x 3.5 em); lllines; black ink with key words overwritten in red; neat naskh; some marginal corrections; title on fol. 1a.
