(1) Abu Zurʿa al-ʿIraqi (d. 826 AH) produced an epitome of it under the title Tanqih al-Lubab. Shaykh al-Islam Zakariyya al-Ansari (d. 926 AH) then abridged that epitome as Tahrir Tanqih al-Lubab and later wrote an explanatory commentary, Tuhfat al-Tullab bi-Sharh Tahrir Tanqih al-Lubab; both works are in print. Several marginal glosses were later written on this commentary: by ʿAbd al-Barr ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Ajhuri (d. ca. 1070 AH), al-Madabighi (d. 1070 AH), al-Qalyubi, and ʿAbd Allah ibn Hijazi al-Sharqawi (d. 1227 AH). The original Lubab itself was explained by ʿAbd al-Raʾuf al-Manawi (d. 1031 AH). See Haji Khalifa, Kashf al-Zunun, nos. 1541–1542; Brockelmann, Geschichte der Arabischen Litteratur (Arabic translation), 3/304–305; Fuat Sezgin, Geschichte des Arabischen Schrifttums, 2/191–192.

(3) Al-Nawawi relates that, when Shaykh Abu Hamid heard that al-Muhamili had composed al-Majmuʿ, al-Tajrid and al-Muqniʿ, he exclaimed: “He has mutilated my books; may God shorten his life!” Abu Hamid died only a short time thereafter.
