3.0 - THE THIRD SOURCE: References in Other Confirmed Books

I have been hunted down by the one whom my thought has hunted. By Allah, I was watchful over him!
***
Being patient in every misfortune and harm, in the being, in general and in private.
***
A bundle I deposited its knowledge in my heart, in a book that was called the "Bezels".
***
It restrained with oppression and helplessness, and refrained, out of jealousy, from utterance.
***
Until it made it one of the kind, then it was blessed to advance.
***
By Allah, all this jealousy, was in accordance with the texts.

Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi, The Grand Diwan, p. 211.

In addition to this number of confirmed works mentioned by the Greatest Sheikh in the Index, which amounted to 255 titles, and then the hearing certificates and leave of Sheikh Sadruddin al-Qunawi, that added twelve titles, so the total became 267, there are other confirmed works attributed to the Sheikh Muhyiddin, because he referred to them in His other well-known books, such as the Meccan Revelations, the Bezels of Wisdom, the Grand Diwan, and others. Likewise, there are likely to be some references to other unknown works that the Sheikh may have mentioned in manuscripts that have not yet been printed, and have not been published in verified editions.

In the following, we list these referenced works, whether those which have been mentioned in the previous two sources, or those which have not been mentioned in them. Hence, for the eighteen titles that have not been mentioned before, we shall give them new numbers starting with (268), which will bring the total number of confirmed books attributed to Sheikh Muhyiddin to 285 titles. As for the books that have been mentioned in previous two sources, we will give them the same numbers:

3.1- New Titles

3.2- Books Already Mentioned Before
