[Andalusi Studies] Manuscript search 'The Consolation of the Sovereign'

[Liran Yadgar]

Dear Sarah,

This sixteenth-century illustrated manuscript is a collection animal fables: Sulwan al-muta' fi 'udwan al-atba' (Consolation for the Ruler in the Face of the Hostility of Subjects), which was written by Ibn Zafar al-Siqili (of Sicily; d. 1170). On the history of this manuscript and its illustrations, see D. James, "Al-Andalus in Africa. Some notes on the transfer of technology by the 17th century Spanish Morisco refugees to North Africa and the Sahel", Manuscripta Orientalia, 17, no. 2 (2011) pp. 28-32, at 29; Rachel Arie, Miniatures hispano-musulmanes: Recherches sur un manuscrit arabe illustre de l'Escurial (Leiden, 1969).

Best wishes,

Liran

Dear Andalusiyyin Colleagues,

I am writing to ask about a 16th century work by a Morisco entitled 'The
Consolation of the Sovereign.'  It is mentioned amongst the very few that
have survived along *hadith bayad wa riyad *and the treatise on astronomy
by al-Sufi.  I cannot seem to find any information on it, even its Arabic
title, where it is located, kept, etc.

All help is appreciated.

With best wishes,
Sarah
