The collection covers a wide period, with manuscripts dating from the 12th to the 20th century C.E. One of the earliest works is SOAS, no. 83, a copy dated Dhu'l-Qa`da 585/December-January 1189-90 of al-Fiqh al-nafi` by al-Samarqandi (d. 556/1161). Another 12th century work, Husam al-Din al-Bukhari's al-Fara'id al-Husamiyah (SOAS, no. 70), dates from the same month. The 18th and 19th centuries are particularly well represented, not only by works belonging to the legal canon of the period - like Abu Hanifa's Al-fiqh al-akbar, the Fatawa Qadikhan, and al-Halabi's Multaqa al-abhur (Mingana, nos. 181, 204, and 1074, resp.) – but also by treatises reflecting the legal debates of the period, like works on the permissibility of smoking, and drinking coffee (Mingana, nos. 1072, 1075, 1077).
