This is a manuscript copy of al-Miṣbāḥ al-munīr fī gharīb al-Sharḥ al-Kabīr by Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Muqrī al-Fayyūmī (d. ca. 770 AH / 1368 CE). It is a dictionary of Islamic legal terms that was originally written as a gloss on the commentary of ʿAbd al-Karīm al-Rāfiʿī (d. 623 AH / 1226 CE) on al-Wajīz fī al-furūʿ by Abū Ḥāmid Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad al-Ghazzālī (d. 505 AH / 1111 CE), entitled Fatḥ al-ʿazīz ʿalá kitāb al-Wajīz. The manuscript was copied by the shi`ite scribe ʿAlī ibn Muḥibb ʿAlī in 1083 AH / 1673 CE in Iran. The text was later collated with three other manuscripts in Mecca in 1166 AH / 1752 CE by Muḥammad al-Aṭrābazundī. The light brown goatskin binding with gold-tooled oval central medallion, pendants, and cornerpieces is contemporary with the manuscript.
