Abu Bakr BÂ ‘ALAWÎ SHILLÎ (الشلى) , who was a member of the family , and died at Makkah , at the end of A.H. 1093. He entitled his work المشروع المروى فى مناقب بنى علوى . See regarding him and other works of his, Cat. Mus. Brit. 429 sq., 431, 741 sq. The present work was used by Muḥibbî (d. A.H. 1111), who also has a notice of the author (ib. 601). Cf. Zeitschrift der Deutschen morgenl. Gesellsch. ix. 225, 227, and also Stewart, Catal.33. Nothing -excepting a hint at the title, on the fly-leaf -is contributed to the above statements by the present MS. It begins with the article on the author’s brother, Aḥmad b. Abu Bakr b. Aḥmad b.

The biographies are arranged alphabetically. The rubric Muḥammad is, however, wanting in its proper place, whence it is evident that the book began with it, and that this MS. is incomplete. The work concludes (fol. 271) : و ليمسك من هذا الباب عنان القلم والله سبحانه اعلم وها انا اطلعت من نجومهم الثواقب الخ. It is followed by an appendix (خاتمة , fol. 272), which treats of the ‘’holy mantle, ‘’ i.e. the spiritual pedigree of the ‘Alawîs (فى خرقتهم الشريفة و ما فيها من الاسرار اللطيفة ) .Most of these pedigrees begin with the aforesaid ‘’Great Master,’’ who was the spiritual heir of the Shaikh Abu Madyan Shu’aib b. al-Ḥasan Maghribî Andalusî. This appendix concludes: و قد انتهى الكلام على وجه الذى شرطناه و الامر الذى التزمناه الخ. Written in a large inelegant hand, of the twelfth century. Carefully revised and emended.
