Ibn al-Qāsıh (1316-1399 C.E.), an eminent scholar of Qira’at and Islamic textual transmission, was born in Baghdad and studied in Egypt, where he mastered the ten canonical recitations (‘ashara). He later became a renowned instructor at Madânî Mosque, where he taught many scholars. His works, particularly Siraj al-Qāriʾal-mubtadî wa Tadhkar al-Muqriʾal-mutahi, are critical to the tradition of Qira’at pedagogy.
This manuscript is an early nineteenth-century copy of a standard work, an extensive and detailed commentary on al-Shatıbi’s Ḥırz al-Amani, a foundational text in the science of Qur’anic recitation. While al-Shatıbi’s work is a didactic poem that systematically presents the rules of Qira’at, this commentary expands upon its meanings with in-depth linguistic, grammatical, and recitational analyses, providing a comprehensive exegesis that was widely studied by advanced scholars. The presence of extensive marginal annotations suggests active scholarly engagement, making this manuscript an invaluable resource for the study of classical Qira’at methodologies and textual transmission.
A significant scholarly manuscript, offering a deeply analytical and authoritative commentary on one of the most important texts in the Qira’at tradition.
