Al-Fawā’id al-ḍiyā’iyya fī šarḥ al-Kāfiya of Ǧāmī or when a poet becomes a grammarian for his son

What is it about?

This note presents the commentary on Ibn al-Ḥāǧib’s (d. 646/1249) Kāfiya written by the Persian mystic poet Ǧāmī (d. 896/1492) for his son Ḍiyāʾ al-Dīn. It is mainly inspired by two other commentaries on the Kāfiya , Ibn al-Ḥāǧib’s own commentary and Raḍī l-Dīn al-Astarābāḏī’s (d. 688/1289) commentary, as well as it is inspired by the Ḥāšiya on this latter written by al-sayyid al-šarīf al-Ǧurǧānī (d. 816/1413). This note also provides information on new editions of these two commentaries.
