Ḥāshiya ‘alā al-fawā’id al-ḍiyā’iyya (Wajīh al-Dīn ‘Umar b. ‘Abd al-Muḥsin al-Arzinjānī, active ‏14th century)

Author

Wajīh al-Dīn ‘Umar b. ‘Abd al-Muḥsin al-Arzinjānī, active ‏14th century

وجيه الدين بن عمر بن عبد المحسن الارزنجاني

Biographical notes

In his works the author simply refers to himself as ‘Umar b. ‘Abd al-Muḥsin al-Arzinjānī; the full form of his name is recorded in the ijaza on fol. 156a of Fatih 1159: “ملك العلماء المحققين قدوة المفسرين جامع انواع العلوم ناشر فنون الفضايل وجيه الحق والملة والدين ناصر الاسلام و معين المسلمين عمر بن عبد المحسن الارزنجاني”. Nothing is known of this author other than what can be gleaned from his works. It appears certain that he was a resident of Erzincan, as his nisba suggests, for that is where an autograph ms was copied (Carullah 1623). His works suggest he was a Hanafi faqih and a Sufi.

Notes

A commentary on the work by ʻUthmān ibn ʻUmar Ibn al-Ḥājib 1175-1249, entitled al-Fawā’id al-Ḍiyā’iyya is attributed to Wajīh al-Dīn ‘Umar b. ‘Abd al-Muḥsin al-Arzinjānī, active ‏14th century; see (Brockelmann, Carl. Geschichte der arabischen Litteratur. Supplementband. Leiden: Brill, 1937., pp. 534) , and the Süleymaniye catalogues; however this seems to be a confusion with another author, Wajīh al-Dīn ‘Ali al-Jāmī, وجيه الدين علي الجامي, whose name appears in the manuscripts, all of which date to the 16th or 17th centuries: Berlin Oct 2420 (Mentioned by Brockelman, see (Brockelmann, Carl. Geschichte der arabischen Litteratur. Supplementband. Leiden: Brill, 1937., pp. 534))
