Lot Essay

The colophon states that this manuscript was copied from the author’s autograph by the scribe Ahmad bin Muhammad bin al-Hajjaj al-Tlemsani on the 7th of Muharram AH 1120 /29 March 1708 AD.

This work does not appear to be recorded. However the author, ‘Ali bin Ibrahim al-Antaki is the author of another manuscript entitled al-Durrah al-nuraniyah fi istikhraj yawaqit al-qasidah al-basiriyah, dated AH 1222/1807 AD (ADD 9599/26), see C.
