Summary note

Parts of a commentary on al-Muhadhdhab fī al-madhhab, a voluminous work on Shāfiʻite law by Abū Isḥaq al-Shīrāzī. This copy, comprising six volumes, contains: a complete copy of part II, incomplete copies of parts IV, V, and VI, and two fragmentary volumes which, because their folios are not consecutive and because they are incomplete at the beginning and the end, it has not been possible to identify.
