- Résumé
- En A composite Persian codex containing four theological and polemical treatises on the legitimacy of Shiʿa mourning practices at the taʿziyah ritual, representing both Shiʿa and Sunni positions in a documented polemic exchange that took place in early 19th-century India. The four units are: (a) Javāb-i dū ḥadīṯ (ff. 1v–3r): an anonymous Shiʿa tract compiled from Sunni authorities legitimising the practice of tearing clothes and beating the face during the taʿziyah; (b) ff. 4r–12r: an untitled Sunni rebuttal by Muḥammad Rashīd al-Dīn Khān Dihlavī (d. 1243/1827–8), known for his anti-Shiʿa polemical works; (c) Kašf al-ghayn ʿan taʿzīyah al-Ḥusayn (ff. 13v–42v): a Shiʿa refutation of unit (b) by Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥusaynī, author also of Kašf al-ghimām ʿan taʿzīyah al-Imām, structured in an introduction, four maqālah (discourses), and a conclusion; (d) Taṣfīyat al-ʿanākib ʿan bāb taʿzīyah Sayyidnā Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (ff. 43v–140v): a longer anonymous Sunni rejoinder prefaced by an introduction in five faṣl (sections). The manuscript was owned by a firm Sunni after 1827 and was purchased by the Government of India at the Delhi Prize Agents sale of 1859, subsequently deposited in the India Office Library in 1876. Catalogued by R. Levy, revised by Ursula Sims-Williams.
