Summary of Contents: كنز الدقائق
الحقائق في شرح كنز رمز The Ramslagd'iq, a commentary by Badru'd-Din Mahmud al-'Ayni
(d. 855/1451) on the Kanzul-Haqa'iq of Háfizu'd-Din Abu'l-Barakát 'Abdu'lláh
ibn Ahmad an-Nasafi (d. 710/1310). See Brockelmann, vol. II, p. 197, 1. 2. Ff. 150 of 25.3 x 16.5 c. and 22 ll.; coarse but clear nasta'liq with rubrications
in a kind of large Kúfic hand. There is no date or colophon, and the MS. seems to
be incomplete at the end, but, like the last, it was evidently transcribed in Turkistán
or Asiatic Russia, probably early in the nineteenth century. I think that it also was
one of the MSS. brought back from Russia (Kazan) by Dr Ellis H. Minns.
