The author says in his preface that this is a new edition of a work which was written more than ten years previously, but was never published. It is founded on the same principles as certain modern law-books, some of which have the same title; and it follows especially the plan of Tâj al-dîn Subkî’s الاشباه و النظائر , 1 and, as regards the first part, of Zarkashî’s القواعد . 1 It is divided into seven books ( فنّ ), each of which has a special title . They are enumerated in Ḥ. Kh., l.c., and are inscribed here as follows: I. (foll. 1-76) القواعد و الاصول التى ترد اليها الجزئيات و الفروع . This book is arranged according to the alphabetical order of the subjects. II. (foll. 76-104) القواعد الخاصة و الضوابط و الاستثناءات و التقسيمات , subdivided into chapters. III. (foll. 105-108) بناء المسائل بعضها على بعض . This book is an imitation of Zarkashî׳s سلاسل الذهب , 2 and is divided into chapters. IV. (foll. 109-128) فى الجمع و الفرق , in two parts ( قسم ) : 1. الابواب المتشابهة المفترقة فى كثير من الاحكام ; 2. المسائل المتشابهة المفترقة فى الحكم و العلة . V. (foll. 129-140) الالغاز و الاحاجى و المطارحات و الممتحنات و المعايات . This book is analogous to Isnawî’s الالغاز , 3 and has no special arrangement . Books VI. And VII. Follow in inversed order: the latter fills foll. 140-142; the former (foll. 143-277) is inscribed as follows:  فن المناظرات و المجالسات و المذاكرات و المراجعات و المحاورات و الفتاوى و الواقعات و المكاتبات و المراسلات Carefully written, in a small hand, by al-Mahdî Zain b. Ismâ’îl b. Aḥmad Kurdî Shâfi’î Ṣaḥrâwî, during A.H. 962 and 963. Each book has its own date, viz. I. Saturday, 18th Ṣafar, 962 ; II. Monday, 19th Rabî’ I.; III. Wednesday, 21st Rabî’ I.; IV.

It is followed (foll. 277v.-278) by a short treatise of SUYÛṬÎ, on the grammatical construction of the words of the Prophet, سبحان الله زنة عرشة و رضى نفسه و عدد خلقه و مداد كلماته . It is entitled: رفع السنة فى نصب الزنة . Cf. Ḥ Kh. iii. 474. Begins:  الحمد لله الذى لا تاخذه سِنة ... و بعد فقد كثر السؤال عن وجه النصب فى قوله صلعم سبحان الخ Written by the same hand.

A Dictionary of the Arabic Language, which is an abridgment of a larger work, called شمس العلوم , and is accordingly entitled لوامع النجوم المستضيئة من شمس العلوم. The author is not known.

Begins: الحمد لله الذى فضّل الانسان على سائر الحيوان الخ The author restricts himself to lexicology, اللغات, leaving aside all the literary and descriptive matter of the original work. He says regarding the latter: .. لكن كان محتويا على ذكر ملوك العرب و مشتملا على بعض قواعد علم الادب و على كل شئ من منافع الاشجار و طبائع الاحجار و على بعض ما يتعلق بالاحاديث و الاخبار و على تفسير بعض الآيات و تبيين بعض القرآءات و غير ذلك الخ The alphabetical arrangement is the usual one, only all reduplicated stems stand first in each letter. The nouns are separated from, and precede, the verbs. The letter Alif Begins: كتاب الهمزة باب الهمزة و ما بعدها من الحروف المضاعف ( sic ) الاسماء فعل بفتح الفاء و سكون العين ب الابُّ المرعى د الادُّ القوة و هو الآد و الايد ايضا الخ. It is in two parts, the first of which ends with the letter ش (fol. 221). Plainly written. Of the eleventh century. Coloured lines round the pages. A key to the شمس العلوم and its two abridgments, the ضياء and the present one, is to be found on the first page. Bought at Lakhnau.
