page 91 note 2 There is a copy at the Université St. Joseph, Beyrouth, and Père Cheikho is not sure of the date of the author, but knows that it is older than Mu
āqa (1800–88) and later than ‘ Abd al-Qāḍir ibn 
aibī (d. 1435) (Mélanges de la Faculté Orientale, vii, 285). A copy in the Preussische Staatsbibliothek (Ahlwardt, No. 5534) was copied c. 1494. The Paris copy mentioned above was purchased at Aleppo in 1673.

In the last-mentioned MS. the author quotes another of his works not mentioned in the Fihrist, Ibn al-Qifṭī or Ibn Abī Uṣaibi‘a. It is called the Kitāb al-‘azm fī ta'līf al-luḥūn, a title not unlike the treatise written for Aḥmad ibn al-Mu‘taṣim. See below.
