  • Here is a list of 608 Ghazali manuscripts that are in Turkish Libraries. The list is in excell format with the local call numbers. As it is only a list it only lists the name of the title of the Manuscripts in Turkish and in Arabic. There are 2 by his brother Ahmad and 32 by Shi'hab al-din (d. 1123). Excel file. This file is based on a search of Union Catalog of Turkish manuscripts. The Turkish mss website that I used to generate this list has gone offline! However I believe that it has re-surfaced in another format elsewhere and I just can't find it.

Specific Catalogs:
Note some libraries (research of course!) have as much as 137 different catalogs. Firestone library in Princeton University has a room full of them in graduate Near East study room. (B Level).  University of Michigan CMENA has a list as well (PDF).  A general online rule if the catalog is UM and is out of copyright there is a good chance you can find it on google books. Here is a sample listing in no particular order of importance:
  • al-Azhar University: al-maktaba al-azhariya: Fahras, al-kutub al-muwjudah bihah hata 1949 in 9 volumes: v1 - v2 - v3 - v4 - v5 (pdf). link 
  • Türkiye yazmalari toplu katalogu = The union catalogue of manuscripts in Turkey / T. c.  Kültür Bakanligi Kütüphaneler Genel Müdürlügü. Ankara : Kütüphaneler Genel Müdürlügü, 1979-. In volume 5, p. 616, it lists the following numbers for al-Ghazali: 67, 514, 544, 550-551, 574-575, 1397-1398, 1433, 1455, 2519, 2627, 2630, 2654-2655, 2674, 2725, 2726, 2744-2757, 2783, 2817, 2878, 2880, 2883, 2928-2929, 4078, 4116.  For example: 4078 is qasidah al-munfirajah and 4116 sharh janat al-Isma'. Not sure they are authentic works but you'll find them listed in catalogs. N. B. This is also available in facimile pdf online. Also noted is a website that should supercede this as the Turkish gov't sponsered digitization effort is underway. I have tried very often to register with the site to no avail.
