Summary of Contents: اخبار الغزالي أيها الولد. A collection of moral and religious anecdotes, especially legends of the prophets
and saints, compiled from the Ihya'u ulúmi d-Din of Abú Hámid al-Ghazálí and
possibly from other works by the same author. These excerpts, which occupy
ff. 30-194, are preceded by the well-known ethical work of al-Ghazali entitled
Ayyuha'l-Walad (Brockelmann, Gesch. d. Arab. Litt., vol. 1, p. 423, No. 32),
beginning on f. 2: الحمد لله رب العالمين والعاقبة للمتقين Ff. 195 of 14,5 x 9,7 c. and 10 ll. Dated 1295/1878-9. The text is very
carelessly written and abounds in grammatical errors. This is one of the MSS.
of the Belshah collection divided at the British Museum on Nov. 12, 1920.
