Manuscript description
An autograph of al-Maqrīzī. Several notes and corrections by al-Maqrīzī who finished writing this fair copy (mubayyaḍa) in Dhū al-Qiʿda 841AH. In a Collection of al-Maqrīzī's small works among several others (e.g. Mukhtalaf al-Qabāʾil wa-Muʾtalifihā of Ibn Jaʿfar Muḥammad b. Ḥabīb (and the copyist notes he did the vocalization which is not in the original work and he is sure that the vocalizations are correct); Tajrīd al-Tawḥīd; al-Kalām ʿalā qawlihi Ṣallā Allahu ʿAlayhi wa-Sallam Ṣalāt al-Layl Muthnnā Muthannā; Dafʿ al-Rayb fī Khiḍāb al-Shayb). Probably, all the texts are either full autographs of al-Maqrīzī, or corrected and authenticated by him. There is an invocation against worms and insects ''Yā Kabīkaj'' on f.1a. Several pages of the manuscript are harmed by book-worms.
