Note:
Ms. codex. Caption title from fol. 1b; also on fore edge, partially worn away. Ms. erroneously foliated beginning on first flyleaf. Record follows erroneous foliation. Physical description: 23 lines per page; written in nastaʻliq in black on tan glazed, laid Arabic paper. Rubrication and catchwords. Arabic quotations overlined in red. Hand changes to naskh script on fol. 241a. Damp stained. First two leaves repaired. Origin: Copy completed 12 Ramaḍān 1098 H [22 July 1687] (fol. 251b); the first two numbers of the year were connected by a later hand to make an "8", which yields an obviously incorrect date. Owner's stamps on fol. 2a-3a; note of sale on fol. 2b; owner's note dated 1340 on fol. 3a. Numerous owner's stamps on fol. 251b; about half of them are effaced.
