Ɵ Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, Al-Hadra al-Unsiyya fi al-Rihla al-Qudsiyya, also known as "al-Rihla al-Wustd" (a travel journal for al-Nabulsi's journey to Palestine, specifically Jerusalem and Hebron), among other extracts, working authorial manuscript copy and first appearance of the text, in Arabic, decorated manuscript on paper [various places throughout the Ottoman Levant, probably c. 1101 AH (1690 AD)]single volume, 154 leaves, informal spacing with single and double columns, varying line counts and extensive marginal annotations throughout in the author's hand, occasional overlining in red, some scattered faint staining or light browning, overall clean and crisp condition, 210 by 145 mm.; fine dark brown morocco over pasteboards with flap, Ottoman style blind-stamped medallions to covers, with ruling and arabesque borders also in blind, hinges of spine cracked and spine ends worn, slightly scuffed else attractive bindingA monumentally important authorial manuscript copy of an eye witness account of the author's journey across Palestine, Jerusalem and Hebron, compiled during his travels in the 1690sText: Abd al-Ghani bin Ismail bin Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi was a poet, mystic and an esteemed scholar of theology and literature. He was born in Damascus in 1050 AH (1641 AD) and was a great traveller in his lifetime, notably visiting Baghdad, Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt and Hijaz, before retiring back to Damascus. By the age of twenty, al-Nabulsi was formally teaching legal Fatwa in Damascus, and later spent seven years in isolation to devote himself to the mystic orders of Qadiriyya and Naqshbandi. His father Isma'il bin Abd al-Ghani bin Ismail ibn Ahmad al-Nabulsi was of Palestinian descent, the name 'Nabulsi' meaning 'from Nablus' (a village just North of Jerusalem), and was a scholar and jurist in the Hanafi School. Despite his Palestinian roots, al-Nabulsi (junior) very much associated himself with Damascus and often refers to himself as 'al-Nabulsi al-Damashqi' (al-Nabulsi of Damascus) in the present manuscript. Al-Nabulsi was a prolific writer and compiled many authoritative texts including both theological, poetic and travel treatises. Some of his notable texts are: Idah al-Maqsud min wahdat al-wujud (clarifying what is meant by the unity of Being), Sharh Diwan Ibn Farid (commentary on the poetic works of Ibn al-Farid), al-Sulh bayn al-ikhwan fi hukm ibahat al-dukhan (a legal treatise advocating the lawfulness of smoking tobacco) and Al-Hakika wa al-Majaz fi al-Rihla ila Bilad al-Sham wa Masr wa al-Hijaz (the truth and metaphor in travel to Syria, Egypt and Hejaz). On him see further Brocklemann (II, pp. 473); E. Sirriya 'Ziyārāt" of Syria in a "Riḥla" of 'Abd al-Ghanī al-Nābulusī (1050/1641 - 1143/1731)', Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, (1979), pp. 109-122; and J. Gildermeister, 'Des 'Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi reise von Damascus nacht Jerusalem', Zeitschrift der Deutschen Morgenlandischen Gesellschaft, 36 (1882), pp. 385-400).This manuscript includes the original commentaries by the author on a journey to Palestine, Jerusalem and Hebron from which al-Nabulsi's text Al-Hadra al-Unsiyya fi al-Rihla al-Qudsiyya was compiled. Given the author's spiritual background, al-Nabulsi was primarily interested in visiting mosques, tombs and shrines in the region for ziarat (a form of pilgrimage to sites associated with Prophet Muhammad), however his mystical beliefs also drew him to spiritual and holy personalities on the journey as well. These human encounters with dignitaries, of past and present worlds, gained him barakat (blessings) and were just as important to al-Nabulsi as his visits to structural places of worship. Thus as well as descriptions of historical sites, which are documented over a period of about 45 numbered days throughout the text, this manuscript also includes descriptions of many encounters with important and influential figures along his journey, some of which come in the form of an Ijazah between al-Nabulsi and a respective recipient. Contemporary manuscript copies of al-Nabulsi's travel codices are rare. An autograph manuscript copy of his al-Hakika wa al-Majaz appears to be among the holdings of the Zahiriyya library in Damascus, where a revised edition of the present text is also listed (Ms. 95661, signed Ali Seyyed Muhammad al-Bashir al-Nadir and dated 1224 AH [1809 AD]). The present text has also been printed, with a summarised version issued in Cairo in 1902 and a publication devoted entirely to his description of the Haram-i Sharif edited by R. Gaf and lithographed by Sallfeld appeared in 1918. The hand in the present manuscript is consistent with an example of al-Nabulsi's signature in the al-Alam bibliography (IV, pp. 32).This manuscript is most probably one of only three copies to come to the open market in living memory. An incomplete nineteenth-century copy of al-Nabulsi's travel journal to Syria, Mecca and the Hejaz, entitled Al-Hakika wa al-Majaz fi al-Rihla ila Bilad al-Sham wa Masr wa al-Hijaz, was sold in Christie's, 7 October 2011, lot 104, signed by the scribe Salih al-Nabulsi (possibly a descendant of the author) and including a colophon that indicated that the manuscript was corrected against the author's copy. Also, an early twentieth-century manuscript copy of this text, signed 'Abd al-Ghani bin 'Abd al-Jalil bin Mustafa bin Isma'il, was sold by Christie's, 9 October 2015, lot 326.
