Info is obtained from the Library of Nuruosmaniye's catalog, the Sulaymaniyya's database (on-site), and a digitized colored copy of the manuscript. The folio f.131b contains a visualization of the chess game, and f.135 contains the Uygur letters (which do not exist in some of the manuscripts of the work). Reading note of the author of the work (Ibn ʿArabshāh) f.143b. The first two folios are framed by a blue line. The folio f.1a has an illuminated headpiece that contains the title of the book and a central rosette that contains the author’s name. Extensive use of the margins with a lot of commentary notes, few correction notes, and highlights of the topics discussed in the main text.
