Among these is Sayb Badr ai-Din of Qabena (1923 -1989). Sayb Badr ai-Din, using many books as references, wrote six Arabic works on different topics, mostly theological. This thesis catalogues these works, and gives a close analysis of his Sfrah manuscript. One major concern of this analysis is to find out the trust worthiness of Sayb Badr aI-DIn's biographical account according to early and modern Sfrah works.enArabicManuscriptsPhilological Investigation of the Arabic Manuscripts of Say1j Badr Al-Din of QebenaThesis
