Summary of Contents: عقائد النسفي The 'Aga'id ("Beliefs" or "Doctrines") of Abú Hafs Najmud-Din Umar ibn
Muhammad ibn Ahmad an-Nasafi (b. 460/1068, d. 537/1142). See Brockelmann,
vol. 1, p. 427, No. 1; and Ahlwardt's Berlin Arabic Catalogue, vol. II, p. 404,
Nos. 1953-4. This well-known work occupies ff. 1b-97a of the MS., and is followed
(on ff. 98-121) by a similar but anonymous work, bearing the ungrammatical title
in red-01. I think that this MS. was one of several brought back
from Russia (Kazan) by Dr Ellis H. Minns. Ff. 121 of 21'2 x 16'2 c. and 15 ll.; fair nasta'liq written within margins ruled
in red, and transcribed, the first part in 1246/1830 and the second in A.D. 1827, by
Khalaf ibn Sulaymán al-Marjání, evidently somewhere in Turkistán or Asiatic Russia.2. ff. 98b-121aAuthor: anonymousTitle: Hādhihi kitāb ʻaqīdahTitle: هذه الكتاب عقيدةLanguage(s): ArabicPhysical Description
