Or Ms 2: الاسعاف في شرح شواهد القاضي والکشّاف al-Is'āf fī sharḥ shawāhid al-qāḍī wa-al-kashshāf vol. 2, 1192 A.H., 1778 C.E.
Scope and Contents
A complete commentary on the "proof verses" of the Qur'ān, cited by Jār-allāh Maḥmud al-Zamakhsharī (d. 538 A.H., 1143 C. E.), in his commentary on the Qur'ān called al-Kashshāf, and Nāṣīr al-Dīn 'Abd-allāh b. 'Umar al-Bayḍawī in his Qur'ānic commentary. The present work was compiled by Hadr b. 'Atā-allāh (see the last verse on fol. 632b), according to a chronogram at the end of the book, in 974 A.H. (1566 C.E.). All the verses adopted by al-Zamakhsharī are inscribed in red, and those of al-Bayḍawī in yellow, and those common between them in green, but through age no such difference except in the case of red can now be detected.
