Manuscript description
Extensive use of the margins: commentary notes, corrections, and announcement of names discussed in the main text. The title page suggests that ʿAbd al-Wahhāb b. Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Shaykh Jamāl al-Dīn al-Dimshaqī al-Shāfiʿī b. Qāḍī Shuhba as author. However, someone corrected it and said that ʿAbd al-Wahhāb has died on 726 while this book continues till 806 AH, and that the biography of the author’s father is written in the book after 30 folios (i.e. f.32a). There is a not on f.107a which questions the organization of the book and suggest that f.107 should be moved two folios. No visible rule trace. Reading note of: ʿAbd al-Barr b. ʿAbd al-Qādir (f. 221b). Biographical note from al-Ḏahabī's work al-ʿIbar (f.1a ). The first folio has the date: 23 January 1873 written in French.
