Abstract :
Recently, two codices have been discovered that significantly augment what was hitherto known about Ibn Abī Jumhūr al-Aḥsā'ī's (d. after 906/1501) life and oeuvre. The codices, which are nowdays in the possession of the Kitābkhāna-yi Madrasa-yi 'ilmiyya-yi Marwī in Tehran (MSS Marwī 855 and 874), consist exclusively of writings of Ibn Abī Jumhūr and were evidently copied during his lifetime as is indicated by the numerous autograph ijāzas and marginal notes in the hand of the author. The present paper not only outlines the significance of these findings, but also contains an editio princeps of Ibn Abī Jumhūr's ijāza 'āmma that is contained in MS Chester Beatty 3810 (ff. 328-329b).



Deux manuscrits récemment découverts enrichissent de façon significative notre savoir sur la vie et l'oeuvre de Ibn Abī Jumhūr al-Aḥsā'ī (m. après 906/1501). Les volumes, aujourd'hui conservés à la Kitābkhāna-yi Madrasa-yi 'ilmiyya-yi Marwī de Téhéran (mss Marwī 855 et 874), contiennent exclusivement les écrits d'Ibn Abī Jumhūr, et, de toute évidence, ils ont été copiés de son vivant, comme en témoigne la présence de nombreux ijāzāt et notices marginales de la main de l'auteur. Outre de présenter l'importance de cette découverte, le présent article contient l'édition princeps d'un ijāza 'āmma de Ibn Abī Jumhūr contenu dans le manuscrit Chester Beatty 3810 (f. 328-329b).
