Ibn Saʿīd, al-Mušriq, val-Muġrib, East, Cairo, manuscriptsAbstract
The hitherto best known and most important work of the prolific Andalusī author Ibn Saʿīd al-Maġribī (d. 685/1286) is his anthology al-Muġrib fī ḥulà l-Maġrib (The Extraordinary About the Jewels of the West). However, equally important was, undoubtedly, its Eastern counterpart al-Mušriq fī ḥulà l-Mašriq (The Extraordinary About the Jewels of the East), a work about which, on the contrary, we know very little. The purpose of this article is to present this great work of Ibn Saʿīd, dedicated to the East, on the basis of a preliminary study of two unpublished manuscripts of the Mušriq that are preserved in Cairo. The present article deals with aspects related to the composition, the authorship, the structure, and the sources of the work, and offers a brief description of the main characteristics of both manuscripts as well as the relevant information they provide.
