In the courseof the Islamization of India sincethe 2nd.8th century t many Islamic colleges have been founded there. The history of thesecolleges and their activities are not yet known2. Their glorious past is testified by an immense number of manuscripts in Arabic, Persian and Urdu, many of which can be traced back to the time of the great moghuls;they were copied in the early 1l,l7th century, but also in the ll lSth and l3 l9th centuries.

In the course of the Is lamizat ion of India since the2nd.8th century t many Islamic col leges have beenfounded there. The history of these colleges and theiract iv i t ies are not yet known2. Their glor ious past istestified by an immense number of manuscripts inArabic, Persian and Urdu, many of which can betraced back to the t ime of the great moghuls; they werecopied in the early 1l , l7th century, but also in thel l l S t h a n d l 3 l 9 t h c e n t u r i e s .

From these manuscripts only a small portion hasbeen described in catalogues. Even the number ofIndian l ibrar ies with manuscript col lect ions is st i11unclear: the enumerat ion of Is lamic manuscript l i -brar ies in the survevs of A. J. W.

Therefore we must collect informationabout manuscript libraries in India from differentsources and correct and supplement them by directinquiries in situ.

In thefol lowing the reader wi l l f ind some obsenat ions onIslamic manuscript col lect ions; they do not pretend tobe exhaustive.

Both texts differ from the known Prohlemata text which. inGreek. is ascribed to Aristotle and which has been translatedinto Arabic from a more complete Greek version (by IsháqIbn Hunain; see the unique ms. Manisa (Turkey) 1790) andpartially from Arabic into Hebrew. An edition of bothversions is being prepared by L. Filius (project AristotelesSemitico-Latinus).

I I . Delhi

According to F.SEzcrN3e there are in Delhi andNew Delhi two public libraries with Arabic mss.,namely the Institute of History of Medicine and theNaziriya Public Library. This statement requires somecorrection. The collections mentioned by Sezgin arenow stored in the Indian Inst i tute of Is lamic Studies(New Delhi , Tughlakabad). A complete descr ipt ion ofi ts mss. is not yet avai lable;we have only a descr ipt ionof selected Arabic and Persian medical mss.ao andthe old catalogue of the Naziriya Public Library (pub-lished l94D4r. Furthermore, there are the followingmanuscript col lect ions in New Delhi :

2. Nat ional Museum

It is scarcely known that this Museum has a collec-tion of several thousand mss. in Persian, Arabic, Urduand Hindi. Some of the Arabic (and perhaps Persian)mss. may have come from the collection of NawwábMuhammad Waztr Khan Bahádur. the second ruler ofTonk (1834-1864); they were acquired by the Govern-ment of India and transferred to the National Museumin 195244.

All manuscripts are registered in a handwritten listcomprising 10 volumes. The number of Arabic mss. isnot known. The first 6 volumes each contain 1000-1500 Arabic and, more especial ly, Persian mss.; there-fore the total number of Arabic texts will scarcely bemore than 3000. They mainly deal with theology andmystics, but also with history and less often with nat-

ural sciences and philosophy. We mention the fol-lowing texts:

It is little known to scholars that here too mss. arepreserved, partially on microfilms of mss. in otherlibraries (e.g. Rampur). A handwritten list gives someinformation about the Arabic original mss. (approxi-mately 100). These mss. are said to have mainly comefrom the former Tipu Sultan library in Mysore whichwas dissolved in the early l9th centurys3. Most of itsmss., which were described by Csnnr-rs Srewenr in

However, these catalogues ss and thehandwritten list of the National Archives do notinclude three mss. which are mentioned in the oldcatalogue of Srewanr and which seem to have con-tained important texts concerning Graeco-Arabica andPhi losophicas6. Apparent ly they are lost.

I I I . Hyderabad (Deccan)

Hyderabad has at least seven libraries which possessArabic (and Persian) mss. In the first place we shouldmention the Andhra Pradesh Government OrientalManuscripts Library and Research Institute, subse-quently the Sayeedia Library. the Salar Jang Museum,the Osmania University Library, the Urdu Academy,the Óámi'a Nizámrya and the State ArchaeologicalMuseum. The collections of the Urdu Academy andthe State Archaeological Museum are described incataloguesst and.are excluded in our survey. as is thecol lect ion of the Gàmi'a Nizámi1-a ( founded 1875) with2000mss. of which onlv a feu are descnbedss.

A preliminary typewritten list (Caralogue ofArobic Munuscripts; 245 pp.) of the in total 6000Arabic Mss. is also not of much use: singular items incollections of texts (maÈmu'at) are rarely mentionedseparately.

2. Saveedia Librarv

>>J l<<

The Sayeedia (: Sa'idfya) Library in Hyderabad isa private collection of 3141 Persian and, mainly,Arabic mss. Until now only 700 Arabic mss. aboutKoran, tafsír, hadt1, síra andfiqh have been describedin a catalogue publ ished in 196881. Three morevolumes had been planned; however, it seems that forthe present we will have to content ourselves with ahandwritten list in the library. This list mentions(p. l8 l , Hikma 36) an old ms. with 140 fol ios whichwas copied in 1060r1650. I t contains pseudo-Aristot le 'sThectlogt'.The ms. is badly damaged by worming. Nevertheless the textwhich has been collated and as a result contains quite a lot ofadditions in the margin may be useful for a critical edition oft h e t e x t 8 s .

V. Lucknow

In Lucknow only the manuscripts of the Universi tyLibrary are descr ibed 1 I ' . Other col lect ions are not vetregistered in pr inted catalogues.

1. Nazir iya Library

The greatest manuscript library in Lucknow is theprivate Kutubhana-i l{cisirta, the Naziriya Librarywhich belongs to a Shi'ite family. Its approximately4000 mss. are very badly listed in a handwritten cata-logue. 77 mss. contain part ial ly unident i f ied phi loso-phical works, mostly by later authors. I have madenotes of the following texts:

No.67 (17.Í ï . ; undated):This ms. contains, accordingto its titlepage, al-Fárábr's al-Falsafa t-uta. A text withthe same title has been edited by MunsrN MeHor (,4/-Farabí's Philosophy o.f Aristotle, Beirut 1 961) 1 12. How-ever, a comparison of beginning and end shows thedissimilarity of both texts.The ms. begins after Basmalah and Hamdalc/r as follows: ,FfbtidA'í talbi maudi'i l-./àlsa./ati l-ula atahayt,anu onntvata l-'ulum.

This l ibrary was bui l t in 1921 and has books and

manuscripts from the former Public Library of Luck-

books and manuscripts in Arabic and Persian have notyet been sufficiently described. They contain mostly

Persian works on later history, theology and poetry.

We mention here Abdalqàdir Badà'fni's Persian his-

torical work Muntalah at-tan'arífi : Ta'rífi-í Bada'unï(undated, 2 vols.)121; the author came to the court of

Akbar in the course of 981 i1574.

The text is incomplete at the beginning. Author and tit le arementioned in the colophon. The text is a fragment ofHermes' $awa;; al-ahgàr wa-nuquiiha. SrzclN (G,4,S IV 39No. I l) mentions one ms. (Berlin 6216 according toAulwanor the pages are in disorder; some folios are mis-sing). Additional mss. are Bodleian Library (Oxford) Arab.d.221, f f . l3r -3 l r (wi th the same t i t le as the Tonk ms. ; cp.n. 154) and Vehbi ( Is tanbul) 1494: see M. UnvaNN (n. 154)p.62f ., where also a Persian translation and excerpts in laterworks are mentioned. Like the Tonk ms. the text of theBodleian ms. ends with the chapter about Na'tu tabi' i i- iamsiwhich contains a fragment from Xenocrates'book on stones.This fragment has been edited, translated and commented byUrr-vRrlN (n. 154) p. 69f. ; the Tonk ms. has taqatta'a./ï gamí

We have now reached the end of our survey of someimportant Indian libraries and their manuscripts. Ourselection of texts concentrates on Graeco-Arabica andimportant philosophica. We have identified and regis-tered some heretofore unknown mss. The reader shouldnot expect to find every library and every ms. ofimportance in this survey. An immense quantity ofmaterial is stil l awaiting an analytical description. Theresearch in Arabic (and Persian) mss. in Indian li-braries can stil l lead to surprising discoveries - also inthose libraries which have comprehensive catalogues.For example, the Oriental Public Library (Hudàba[S)of Patna (: Bankipore), one of the greatest collectionsin India with a detai led cataloguerss, has under thenumber 2641(314Jï.) a collection of texts (copied in theI l/l7th century) which are stil l insufficiently described.Besides numerous philosophical treatises in Persian(e.g. by Bábá Afdal)1s6 we f ind Arabic phi losophicaltexts and Graeco-Arabica 1s t .

NOTES

* My research into Islamic manuscripts in Indian l ibraries

has been made possible with the generous aid of the National

Endowment for the Humanities (USA) and the Free Uni-

versity, Amsterdam. It was carried out on behalf of the

American project Theophrastus (Rutgers University, New

Brunswick, N.J.) and the Dutch projects Aristoteles Semi-

tico-Latinus and Islamic philosophy. I express my sincere

thanks to all persons and institutions for making possible

this research, especially to professor W' Fortenbaugh (Rut-

gers University) who had the courage to support this

enterprise and to the Government of India (Ministry of

Education) and its local authorit ies for allowing me to visit

their l ibraries.1 See ANNEuenIE Scutvvr.r, Der Islam im indischen Sub-
