Extent: 254 leaves : paper ; 195 x 128 (153 x 72) mm. bound to 199 x 130 mm.
Note:
Ms. codex. Title from cover label; similar label on spine, though worn. Ms. erroneously foliated beginning on the nineteenth leaf. Record follows erroneous foliation. Physical description: 17 lines per page; written in nastaʻliq in black on machine-made paper. Arabic quotations in naskh and overlined in red. Rubrication and catchwords; marginal corrections and cross-outs. Paginated in Arabic script. Table of contents begun on fol. 2bis(a); fol. 2bis(b)-18bis(a) are framed for a table of contents, but left blank. Light staining; lower half of first leaf torn... Origin: This is likely a holograph, as there are numerous cross-outs. Poems on fol. 18bis(b) and 1a indicate that the original text was completed in 1323 H [1905 or 6]; this corresponds to the Marʻashī catalog, which states that the first volume was completed in 1323 H.
