Abstract
Abstract This second part of a study devoted to the history of al-Maqrīzī’s al-Tārīḫ al-Kabīr al-Muqaffā li-Miṣr retraces the history of its copies, first the holograph, then the apograph. By considering their users (readers, owners), this article focuses on the paratextual elements in the preserved copies and on references to al-Maqrīzī’s text in other works to reconstruct the itineraries of these copies across several centuries. By examining consultation notes and ownership marks, we can better understand how these manuscripts changed hands, how the text evolved over time, and how the text we have today may ultimately differ from al-Maqrīzī’s intent. Our analysis of similar paratextual marks – by owners and readers of al-Muqaffā – found in other manuscripts also helps us better understand the interactions between these users and the copies of al-Muqaffā they owned or had access to.
