#manuscripts Ms Majlis-e Shura-ye Islamic 1783 is a collection that includes the famous commentary on Fusus al-Hikam of #IbnArabi by Da’ud al-Qaysari (d. 1350) as well as various epistles #Sufism 1/

Those rasa’il are mainly by the famous #Nimatullahi #Sufi Muhammad Ja’far Kabudarahangi Majdhub ‘Ali Shah (d. 1823) who was a prominent scholar - I’ve mentioned him in threads on #Sufism in #ShiiIran before 2/

His interests ranged across #philosophy #mysticism, and #literature and he also wrote refutations of #ChristianPolemics 3/

The codex includes his glosses on the #Metaphysics of the #Shifa of #Avicenna that were well known to his contemporaries and often cited in their glosses 4/

Some of his works have been published - a collection of seven treatises - nosabooks.com/WebUI/book.asp… 5/
