Summary of Contents: دیوان عمر بن الفارض مع شرح الشيخ عبد الغني النابلسي The Diwán of the celebrated Egyptian mystical poet 'Umar ibnu'l-Fáriḍ
(b. 586/1181; d. 632/1235) with the extensive prose commentary of Shaykh 'Abdu'l-
Ghani an-Nábulusi (b. 1050/1641; d. 1143/1731). Concerning the latter, see
Brockelmann, II, pp. 345-348, where 85 of his works are enumerated; and for
Ibnu'l-Farid see the same, 1, pp. 262-263, and R. A. Nicholson's Literary History
of the Arabs, pp. 394-398. This MS. was given to me in Constantinople in April, 1910, by Dr Rizá Tevfiq
(Ridá Tawfiq). It comprises 520 ff. of 27 x 17 c. and 37 ll., is written throughout
in a small, neat, and legible, though ungraceful naskh, the text in red, and was
copied by 'Abdu'l-Qadir ibn Muhammad al-'Atifi, who completed his work on
Monday the 13th of Ramadán, 1141/April 12, 1729, i.e. during the Commentator's
life-time. The work is divided into two parts, of which the first ends on f. 292a,
and the second begins on f. 293b.
