N2  - This article is a philological study of  al-Muz}hir, an encyclopedic work of  a
prominent Egyptian scholar Jala>l al-Di>n al-Suyu>t\i> (d. 911/1505) which
has significant contribution in the study of  Arabic linguistics. The book is
particularly al-Suyu>t\i>?s own compilation of  works of  earlier philologists. Due
to its importance, it is necessary to study the book in a proper way by deciphering
its manuscripts. Studying a book from its manuscripts provides us with much
indirect information -which has great value for scholarship- to trace back the
history of  the book before the printing period. Apart from the text itself,
manuscripts generally contain the owner?s seal, introductory remark, colophon,
certificate and commentaries. Through examining these additional elements,
we may be able to acquire the information about the distribution and public
demand of  the book, the scribes and days of  copying, and the authorization
of  its manuscripts. This paper will discuss al-Muz}hir by analyzing a number
of  manuscripts written several decades after the death of  the author. It will
then focus on the authorization of  the manuscripts, a sample of  critical edition
of  the book, and a discussion of  section twenty on Islamic terms.
