- Editorial notes and bibliography
- As with the Risalah written by Shihabuddin, the aim of this text is to curb the possibly growing disregard of Shariah arising from the spread of mystical doctrine among the common people. With this aim in mind, Kemas Fakhruddin was commissioned to make an elaborate adaptation of the Fath al-Rahmân of Zakariyyâ’ al-Ansârî.
- Drewes' use of parentheses to indicate editorial additions and suppressions have been brought into line with MCP practice:
- [ ] signal editorial additions -- in the printed text ( )
- ( ) signal text present in the manuscript but better omitted -- in the printed text [ ]
- Preparation
- Added: May 2006
- The text was scanned in Canberra by the MCP using Recognita™ OCR, and adapted.
