<p class="indent">The National Library of Medicine has a volume containing two short essays and ten <em>maq&#257;mahs</em> by the 15th-century encyclopedist and scholar Jal&#257;l al-D&#299;n al-Suy&#363;<font face= "Arial Unicode MS">&#7789;</font>&#299;, a <em>maq&#257;mah</em> being a type of rhymed prose. The <a href="glossary.html#manuscript">manuscript</a> at NLM (MS A 35) containing these essays and <em>maq&#257;mahs</em> by al-Suy&#363; is closely related to the Berlin, Staatsbibliothek, MS We. 193, copied about 1800, which contains copies, in precisely the same order, of all of these essays and <em>maq&#257;mahs</em>.</p>
<p class="indent">Amongst the essays and <em>maq&#257;mahs</em> in this volume is an essay on genealogy as it relates to the early <a href="glossary.html#caliph">Caliphs</a>.</p>
<p class="indent">The essay has not been published in a modern translation or edition.</p>
<p class="indent"> One other copy of the essay is recorded: Berlin, Staatsbibliothek, MS. We.193, fols. 8b-10b (<a href="abbreviation.html#ahlwardt">Ahlwardt, <em>Berlin</em></a>, entry 9396).</p>
