    Incomplete in its beginning, missing introduction. Important copy, completed in 668 in the lifetime of the author. The scribe Muḥammad b. Maḥmūd b. Muḥammad al-Jundī (d. 691) was most likely the disciple of Qūnawī known as Muʾayyid al-Dīn. He came from a learned family. He is reported to have written a commentary on Ibn ʿArabī's Fuṣūṣ, and members of his family, including his father, also wrote scholarly works. This copy, an exegesis of ṣūrat al-Fātiḥa (known as Umm al-Qurʾān), includes many important marginal annotations which demonstrate that the scribe was himself a learned scholar. Some of these marginal notes are preceded with "ḥāshiya," in other words the scribe understood his notes to be a commentary on the main text. The work is beautifully and precisely copied, with few marginal corrections to the text. For these reasons, the copy is extremely valuable and perhaps should be printed in fascimile form. -Hadel Jarada.
