Dear colleagues,
My name is Sibylle Wegener, and I am planning to write my Ph.D.
thesis about Ibn Arabshah's: Al-Ta'lif a.t-.Tahir fi shiyam al-Malik
a.z-.Zahir al-Qa'im bi-nu.srat al-.Haqq Abi Sa'id Jaqmaq.
At the beginning of the last century, after the death of Prof. S.
Arthur Strong, the first twelf folios from his edition of the work were
printed in The Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society.
From the introduction to this partial edition we know, that Shams al-
Din Sayyid Ali Bilgrami offered to continue the edition but fell
seriously ill and was unable to carry on the work.
Thus it seems that only the first 12 folios were printed.
I was wondering if you know of any edition of this text, or recent (or
even older) works on this text, articles, books...I'll sincerely
appreciate it.
I would also be very thankful for any advice how to locate the draft
version of Strong's edition. Probably one of you might know the
library holding Strong's estate.
Thank you in advance,
Sibylle Wegener
