1867. Size 8^1/4 in. by 5 in.; foll. 313. Twenty-three lines in a page.

A commentary on Ibn Sînâ’s الاشارات و التنبیهات, by FAKHR AL-DÎN RÂZÎ (d. A.H. 606). Part of this commentary is contained in Cat. Bodl. I. ne. CCCCLXXX. Cf. Ḥ. Kh. i. 301, and also Cat. Lugd. iii. 320.

This copy is imperfect at the beginning; the first words of Ibn Sînâ’s which occur are (fol. 2v.): هذا الحامل انما له الوضع الخ, from the first نمط of the second part, on Physics. The comments of Râzî are, in the first portion, invariably introduced by the words قال رضی الله عنه. His epilogue, which follows that of the author, begins (fol. 312v.): قال الامام الداعی محمد ابن عمر رضی الله عنه و انا ایضا اوصیک یا اخی فی الدین و صاحبی فی طلب الیقین ان تعمل بهذا الشرح ما امرک الشیخ به ان لا تعدل عن قانون قوله الخ.

The book concludes: تم شرح الامام الرازی للاشارات.

An indifferent copy. All the rubrics are omitted. A defect after fol. 19; foll. 48-55 are left blank. Injured by insects.
