Dear Ms. Aslan,
Your friend probably knows that the history of this work is highly
complicated. If not, the first works to consult would be Abd al-Rahman
Badawi's 'Mu'allafat al-Ghazali' and Maurice Bouyges 'Essai de chronologie
des oeuvres de Al-Ghazali'.
Leiden University Library does not have a work with the title you mention.
We do, however, have parts of al-Ghazali's 'Jawahir al-Qur'an'.
Best regards,
Arnoud Vrolijk

Subject: Al-Ghazali manuscipt
Hello,
A friend of mine who is a graduate student at Al-Azhar University in Cairo
is currently searching for an obscure al-Ghazali manuscript which is not to
be found in any library in Egypt. It is entitled 'Yaquta al-ta'wil' and is
said to be quite a long manuscript. Any leads would be appreciated as to
where this manuscript is located so as to obtain photocopies....
Thanks very much.
