Light, flexible cardboard cover inscribed in gilded paint with the names Muhammad on the first cover and Allah on the second, running text along the edge of the second cover and on the spine. 33 x 20 cm Significant restorations, incomplete manuscript in several hands, stains and wetness, pencilling. This work is a popular theological text taught in the Islamic schools of Java known as pesantren. It includes, with commentary, the major work of the famous Maghrebian theologian Muhammad as-Sanûsî (1427-90), al-'Aqida as-Sughâ, known as Umm al-Barâhin ("The Mother of Proofs"), which expounds the doctrine of Al-Ash'ari (873-935) on the attributes of Allah and the Prophets. The Pro Patria watermarked paper of Dutch origin used here seems to have been imposed in Indonesian government institutions from 1862 onwards.
