ARABIC MANUSCRIPTS -- SĪRAT al-MUJĀHIDĪN wa-Abtâl al-Muwahhidîn al-Amîr Dhi 'l-Himma. 2 vols. of a rare 19th century manuscript of this Arabic heroic epos. Mod. hcf. binds. EUR 1.500 EUR 1.200 ¶ The text of volume 1 corresponds to the edition of Beyrouth 1980, vol. 1, pp. 191-355; the text of volume 2 contains large sections of volume 7 of the same Beyrouth edition. As is usually the case in this type of literature, the manuscripts show considerable textual differences, both in the prose-texts and in the poetry, with the printed edition. The type of script resembles MS BN Paris 4745, as reproduced by Claudia Ott, Metamorphosen des Epos Sîrat al-Mugâhidîn (Sîrat al-Amîra Dhât al-Himma) zwischen Mündlichkeit und Schriftlichkeit (Leiden: CNWS, 2003), Plate XXXII (dated 1275/1859). In very good condition.
