A manuscript witness is not the same thing as a modern edition. Copying, correction, marginal notes and later editorial decisions can alter presentation or readings. The Futuhat is particularly important because scholars discuss an earlier and a later authorial recension, with the Konya materials central to textual research.
How to study this subject
A work, a surviving manuscript, a printed edition and a translation are not interchangeable objects. Each introduces decisions about titles, variants, arrangement and wording. Modern manuscript research has established authenticated portions of the corpus alongside uncertain attributions. Digital linking should disclose these distinctions instead of concealing them.
A bibliographic record should separate the attested title, opening and closing words, manuscript shelfmark, copy date, modern edition and attribution assessment. A scanned page, searchable transcription and edition concordance serve different purposes. Before claiming that a passage matches another edition, compare the words and boundaries, not merely the page labels. Uncertain matches should remain explicitly provisional.
For any passage, identify the witness or edition used and avoid claiming that matching page numbers prove matching wording. Digital facsimiles, transcriptions and edition concordances are different tools and need different levels of verification.
