12. Husayn-i-Manstir Hallaj, d. 309 A.H. Ansari dis- 
cusses at length the question as to whether it would be com- 
patible with being an orthodox Muhammadan to recognize 
this personage asasaint. It is rather surprising, having regard 
to his strict opinions, that he decides to admit that Hallaj had 
been misunderstood. His ‘eloquent poetry’ (f. 86v. es) 
and some ‘unknown books’ (ibid. Gyyacl (lS) are men- 
tioned besides his (f. 103v) ess ure CUS (which is referred to 
also in the Nafahat, p. 209). ae 
Abu’l-‘ Abbas b. ‘Ata, executed in connection with the 
case of Hallaj, in the same year, 309 A.H Ansari not ouly

14. Mukammad b. ‘Ali Tarmidhi, usually known as Abi

wuilei (f. 70v) and Vis (f 72v), his re Q!yo (ibid.) and os 
pllaic els (ibid.) are mentioned. 
15. Abu ‘Ali Juzjant (Gazgant), Warraq’s contemporary 
and fellow-countryman, who also composed some works (f. 74, 
ules). Cf. also ‘Attar, II, 118 sq. and Nafahat, p. 143. 
16. Abi Bakr Wasiti, d. 320 A.H., also produced a book, 
which Ansari had an opportunity of seeing (f. 70): x= be

17. Yusuf b. Hamdan Sasi, apparently of the same period, 
also produced some Wisiles (f. 76v). 
18. © Aba ‘Abdu’l-lah b. Khafif Shiraz, d. 331 A.H. His 
book, which Ansari calls (»)l — egttel US (f. 31), probably 
not by its proper title, was apparently one of the chief sources
