17th Century Arabic Manuscript - Mukhtasar Ghunyat al-Mutamalli - Annotated

This 17th-century Arabic manuscript is a valuable piece of Islamic legal scholarship, featuring Mukhtasar Ghunyat al-Mutamalli by Ibrahim b. Muhammad al-Halabi al-Hanafi (d. 1549 CE). This work is an abridgment of al-Halabi's own commentary on Munyat al-Musalli by Abi Abd Allah Muhammad al-Kashghari al-Hanafi (d. 1305 CE). Despite being an abridgment, it offers unique insights and represents an important contribution to the discourse on Islamic jurisprudence, particularly on controversial sectarian points of law. The manuscript is made all the more rarer by the fact that it came so soon after the death of Muhammad al-Halabi.

This manuscript is a testament to the rich tradition of Islamic legal scholarship and the dedication of scholars like al-Halabi in preserving and disseminating knowledge. Though incomplete, the text is in good, clear condition, with extensive annotations in the margins that offer further insights and perspectives. The beautifully annotated cover page adds to the historical and scholarly value of this manuscript.
