| Summary: |
This copy of Al-Inkishafi was collected by Hichens in the 1930s. The collector refers to it as an original copy, but this cannot be certain. It is certainly a beautiful and well-preserved manuscript of the famous poem written by Sayyd Abdalla bin Nassir. The pages of the poem in Arabic script are inserted in an outsized hard paper so as to protect this very old copy. The collector has used the blank spaces on the side for his notes on the poem, unfortunately unreadable. This arabic script copy has transliteration and notes in MS 253029. |
