LOC subject headings: Astronomy
Title: Kashf al-‘aqaba; كشف العقبة
Notes: The text deals with the heavens, the existence of heaven and hell, and ‘speaking souls’ (nufūs-i nāṭiqa). Place of composition is possibly Kayseri.; Patron: an unidentified ruler described as ṣaḥib-qirān-i ‘ālam. (Bayram, Mikail, ed. Anadolu'da Telif Edilen İlk Eser Keşfu'l-Akabe. Konya: Hayra Hizmet Vakfı, 1981., pp. Bayram) has suggested this was a Danishmendid ruler, on the basis of the connection with Kayseri, but this seems unproven.

Work 27: Dar i‘tiqād-i ahl al-sunna (‘Umar b. ʻAlī b. Muḥammad)

Title: Dar i‘tiqād-i ahl al-sunna; در اعتقاد اهل السنة
Notes: The author’s name seems to be added in a later hand on fol. 291r; possibly he is identical with the author of no. 17, as suggested by (Ateş, Ahmet. "Hicrî VI-VIII. XII-XIV. Asırlarda Anadolu'da Farsça Eserler." Türkiyat Mecması. VII-VIII 1945., pp. Ateş). However, in contrast to no. 17, it is rather more theoretical in tone, attacking the Mu‘tazili doctrine of createdness and emphasising bī chūn wa bī chūnagī (i.e the anti-Mu‘tazlilite doctrine of bilā kayf).

Work 28: Al-Manāhij al-Sayfiyya (Naṣīr al-Dīn Mahmud b. Ahmad Khū’ī, fl. fl. mid 6th/13th century)

LOC subject headings: Islam Doctrines
Title: Al-Manāhij al-Sayfiyya; المناهج السيفية
Notes: This work is dedicated to Sayf al-Dīn Tughril, سيف الدين طغرل. Chittick comments that he was ‘a government official apparently employed at one of the Seljuk courts of Anatolia. His name suggests that he was born a Turk. He seems to have recently converted to Islam or, if he was a born Muslim, he had decided to take religion seriously’ ( (Chittick, William C.. Faith and Practice of Islam: Three Thirteenth Century Sufi Texts. Albany: 1992., pp. xi)). No evidence for any individual named Sayf al-Dīn Tughril has come to light from any other source. The Al-Manāhij al-Sayfiyya provides an outline of what Sayf al-Dīn needs to understand about God, and then detail on obligatory practices for every Muslim. Chittick ( (Chittick, William C.. Faith and Practice of Islam: Three Thirteenth Century Sufi Texts. Albany: 1992., pp. xi)) has described the text as indicating ‘the lowest common denominator' of Sufi practice.; The editions of this work is ascribed to Abu’l-Ḥaqā’iq Muḥammad al-Juwaynī ابو الحقائق محمد الجويني and corrections to the edition can be found in (Chittick, William C.. Faith and Practice of Islam: Three Thirteenth Century Sufi Texts. Albany: 1992., pp. 268-70). The ascription to Naṣīr al-Dīn Khū’ī is based on the evidence of the unique ms, which gives the author’s name on the title page: كتاب المناهج السيفية تاليف الشيخ الامام العالم العامل المحقق المتودع سيد المشايخ والابدال نصير الملة والدين ابو الحقائق محمود بن احمد قدس الله روحه و جعل في اعلى عليين درجته بفضله و كرمه و سعة جوده . Although Chittick states that the author’s name can also be read as Juwaynī, as the text’s Iranian editor also read, but the reading Khūyī seems clear from the ms. Confidence in the Iranian editor’s palaeographic abilities is also diminished by the fact that he read the unambiguous Maḥmūd as Muḥammad.

His nisba suggests he was a resident of Ankara, but his grandfather was from Ahlat. Süleymaniye Küt., Serez, n. 1497 refers to the copy being completed in a zawiya, suggesting ‘Shaykh ‘Alī b.
