1. Book Description (Bibliographic Card) Book Title: Hizr al-Amany wa Wajh al-Tahany fi al-Qira'at al-Sab' (commonly known as Matn al-Shatibiyyah). Author: Imam Al-Qasim bin Firruh bin Khalaf bin Ahmad al-Shatibi al-Raa'ini al-Andalusi (died 590 AH). Verification and Correction: Sheikh Ali Muhammad al-Dabaa' (Supervisor of Manuscripts at the Egyptian Readers Authority at the time). Endorsement and Approval: Foreword and endorsement by His Eminence, the respected Professor Sheikh Muhammad Ali Khalaf al-Husseini (Sheikh of Egyptian Readers at that time). Publisher and Printer: Printed at Mustafa al-Babi al-Halabi and Sons Press in Egypt. Printing Date: Recorded at the bottom of the cover in three calendars: 1356 AH / 1937 AD / 1734 Coptic. 2. Book Condition (Based on visual inspection) Outer Cover: Original paperback cover from the printing era, showing natural discoloration and the patina of age (Toning) due to time and humidity. Edges and Corners: The cover edges show slight wear with minor stiffness at the edges. There is a small dark spot (perhaps ink or old moisture) on the right side above the printer's name. Binding: The book appears to be well-preserved considering its age of nearly 90 years. It has not undergone modern rebinding, which preserves its original heritage value. Overall Condition Assessment: Very Good for an unbound paperback published in the 1930s. 3. Is the book rare? Yes, it is considered relatively rare. Reason: Although "Matn al-Shatibiyyah" has been printed hundreds of times later, the editions from Mustafa al-Babi al-Halabi Press (especially those from the 1930s and 1940s) are considered among the finest heritage editions, known for their accuracy, mastery, and precision. Unbound paperback copies that have survived all these decades without damage or loss of the original cover are scarce in the market and are sought after by collectors of readings and old Egyptian heritage books.
