Lot Essay

Two other works by the author are in Chester Beatty Library, Dublin (see A.J. Arberry, A Handlist of the Arabic Manuscripts, Dublin, 1958, vol. III, no 3654 and vol. VI, no. 4544).

Brockelmann lists the work Marta' az-ziba in the author's entry which is almost certainly the same work as the present Marta' al-ziba wa marba' dhu al-siba (See Brockelmann, Suppl. II, Zu S 368, p. 495.).
