<br>
This sixteenth-century illustrated manuscript is a collection animal fables: <i>Sulwan al-muta' fi 'udwan al-atba'</i> (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",

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