Note:
Ms. codex. Title from colophon on fol. 104b. Other title from VOHD (see ref. below). The colophon states that the work was copied by Ahmet Rifat bin Abdülkerim, a çavuş at the "el-Cami el-Kebir", in 1303 (1885-86) -- colophon (fol. 104b). However, this almost certainly does not apply to the entire ms, as the first page (fol. 2) and fol. 98-104 are later replacements in a different hand and on different paper, while the bulk of the text is in a completely different hand and on... The bulk of the ms. has 19 lines per page, is written in a small, casual siyāqat in black ink with use of red for rubrication. The later replacements also have 19 lines per page, but are written in a small casual naskh in black ink with use of red for rubrication. Catchwords on the verso of each leaf. The older part of the ms. is on glazed paper with watermarks, the replacements are on cream... Originally acquired by Robert Garrett from Abraham Shalom Yahuda ; 1942.
