Physical Description:

Extent: 175 leaves : paper, ill. ; 255 x 170 (170 x 110) mm. bound to 255 x185 mm.

Note:

Ms. codex.
Title from beginning of text (fol. 7a, l. 3).
For the date 608 H. associated with the author, see fol. 1a, l. 2-3. al-Būnī (Aḥmad ibn ʻAlī, d. 622/1225) is quoted in the text. However Ḥajjī Khalīfah mentions a Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Ilyās al-Ḥanafī, fl. 912/1506 or 7 (ed. Fluegel, vol. III, p. 190, no. 4872).
15 lines per page. Poetry in two columns. Written in medium small naskh in black ink with use of red. Paper with laid lines visible (frame-ruled, 102 mm.). Contains magic squares and tables. A few marginal notes. Foliation using Arabic numerals (starts with "4" on fol. 2a). On fol. 175b : several inscriptions and magical tables. On a piece of paper pasted on the lower cover, inscription in...
On the pastedown of the upper cover, small label with the inscription "12" in Arabic numerals ; label with the inscription: "ELS no. [next line, in Arabic characters] Miftāḥ al-maqāṣid [next line, in Arabic characters ] fārisī [next line, in Western numerals] 909". Same label on the pastedown of the lower cover, adding "ELS no. 110".
Copied by the author Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad Ibn Ilyās, on 4 Shawwāl 609 (colophon, fol. 175a). According to a label on the pastedown of the upper cover and a note on a paper pasted on the lower cover, this should be read as 909. This later date appears to be more likely.
Acquired from Abraham Shalom Yahuda, 1942.
