#IslamicPhilosophy #manuscripts #autograph of the Shaykhī leader Sayyid Kāẓim Rashtī (d. 1843) in a codex of his collected works MS 2087 Marʿashī Library in Qum 1/

Given the importance of the works of the early Shaykhī leaders like Shaykh Aḥmad al-Aḥsāʾī (d. 1826) and Sayyid Kāẓim it is a shame that there are still so few critical editions of their works 2/

What we have on the whole are the lithographs produced in Kerman in the late 19th C and their reprints and re-typeset copies or popular editions produced by the Tabriz/Kuwait branch of the #Shaykhīya 3/

#QuranicExegesis #manuscripts #autograph of Muḥsin Fayḍ Kāshānī (d. 1680) on the margins on his shortened commentary Aṣfā al-tafsīr in codex MS 2021 Kitābkhāna-yi Madrasa-yi Sipahsālār in Tehran 1/

The exegesis has been edited and published many times and is available here alfeker.net/library.php?id… 2/

The codex was copied in 1679 and later came into the possession of the Qajar statesman and patron Muḥammad Ḥasan Khān Iʿtimād al-Salṭana (d. 1894) in 1874 and six years later was gifted to the Madrasa-yi Sipahsālār shortly after construction on it began 3/

#IslamicPhilosophy #manuscripts #autograph of Mullā Naʿīmā Ṭāliqānī (d. 1748) on the margins of a codex of Mullā Ṣadrā's Sharḥ Hidāyat al-ḥikma first copied in 1666 MS 151 Kitābkhāna-yi Namāzī-yi Khūy 1/

Mullā Ṣadrā's commentary on al-Abharī (d. 1265) Avicennian compendium Hidāyat al-ḥikma was very popular already soon after his death and disseminated into #Ottoman and #Mughal contexts soon after 2/

Ṭāliqānī famously survived the sack of Isfahan by the Afghans in 1722 and wrote his summary of the metaphysics of Mullā Ṣadrā in exile in Qum - entitled Aṣl al-uṣūl 3/

#IslamicLaw #manuscripts #autograph of Muḥammad Taqī Majlisī (d. 1659) of his own Lavāmiʿ-yi ṣāḥibqirānī on the section on prayer (ṣalāt) from codex MS 1846 Tehran University Central Library1/

The text is a long commentary in Persian on Man lā yaḥḍuruhu ʾl-faqīh of al-Shaykh al-Ṣadūq (d. 991), and he also wrote an Arabic commentary Rawḍat al-muttaqīn available here ketabpedia.comتحميل/روضة-المتقين-في-شرح-من-لا-يحضره-الفقيه/ 2/

Majlisī's text was very famous in its time and considered to be a manual that rivalled the earlier Jāmiʿ-yi ʿAbbāsī of Shaykh Bahāʾ al-Dīn al-ʿĀmilī (d. 1621) in its influence especially among the mystically inclined and Sufis who shared his taste 3/
