|ProvenancePrivate US collection, 1960-present.The first text, by 'Umar bin al-Salih al-Faydi al-Tuqadi (Ömer Feyzi Tokadi), is an Arabic commentary on Athir al-din al-Abhari's (d. 1265) commentary on Porphry's work on logic, Isagoge. Although the work was widely read and was printed in the Ottoman Empire (see Ömer Feyzi Tokadî, ed-Dürrü'n-Nâcî ala Metni İsagoci, Dersaadet Matbaası, İstanbul 1312), very little is known about the author other than that he was alive in the first half of the 19th Century. It is possible that he was a teacher in Üsküdar who is mentioned in the Ottoman records for the year AH 1188/AD 1774. In the colophon, the copyist says that he started the manuscript on 19th Jumada al-Akhar and completed it twenty days later on 9th Rajab 1232/25th May 1817. He then says that he is writing in al-Astaniya (possibly Astanjin in Iranian Azerbayjan), which the scribe says is not his home. The colophon itself is dated AH 1233/AD 1817-18.The second work is Athir al-Din Abhari's Kitab Isaguji. The first page is in a different hand to the rest of the text, which is dated AH 1322/AD 1904-05, and was copied by Muhammad Zihni. It is possible that this is the famous Ottoman scholar, professor and official of the Ministry of Education, Mehmed Zihni (1846-1913). For a biography (in Turkish) see the article by Hulûsi Kılıç, 'Mehmed Zihni Efendi', in Islam Ansiklopedisi, Ankara 2003, vol. 28, pp. 542-543. See also C. Brockelmann, GAL, S I, 843/16 (the first work), and for the second, Brockelmann, GAL, S, I, 839.
