Quduri manuscript database updated to Hanafi scholars database

The "Quduri Manuscripts" database has been updated to a wider "Hanafi Scholars" database. All that was in the previous database still remains, but I have now included more biographies of scholars historically preceding and following al-Qudūrī.

Again, most manuscript information has been gathered primarily for the works of al-Qudūrī himself, and those works based upon his works. The list of works authored by any of the mentioned scholars is not currently exhaustive in the least.

With time, over the coming months and years, I hope to continue to add information to the entries of the currently 115 Hanafi authors currently in the database, and to continue to add more biographical, bibliographical, and manuscript-related entries as my research continues. Nonetheless, I believe that even in its current form, it might prove useful insofar as it collect this information in English and in one place.

This database will also form the basis of the upcoming updates to the Hanafi scholars timeline, and a map of Hanafi teacher:student chains of transmission which I am developing.
