Manuscript description
Margins contain: qif-notes highlighting info in the main text in a more modern hand, some correction notes, and on 72a a longer note taking up most of the margin. Defective manuscript: no title page and no ending pages, lots of water damage on first 50 folio’s. The last section is a long poetry section at the end (khatm) of bāb 24, and the first extant page describes the chapters to follow (said to be 24), so only a few folio’s seem to be missing.
- Ownership Statement
There is a seal on the first page, but it is unclear whether it is of the Dār al-Kutub or from the Khedival library.
