Manuscript description
Very few comments and notes in the margins. Marginal announcements of contents in red. There are poetry verses of al-Suyūṭī (in which he criticizes al-Sakhāwī ) written on the title page. The writer of these poetry verses wrote a prayer for al-Suyūṭī wishing him a long life “i.e. fassaḥ Allahu fī Ajalihi” which means that this manuscript is written before 1505 CE (the death date of al-Suyūṭī).
- Ownership Statement
There is a red wax seal of a cross and globe in an empty page before the book. This manuscript had several owners, who owned it in rather a short time span: Muḥammad al-Muwaqqit who is known as Ibn al-Abār (in 939AH); Yaḥyā al-Dumayrī al-Mālikī (in 931 AH); Aḥmad b. Ḥasan; Muḥammad Aḥmad ʿAmmār (al-Hindī?). Levini Warneri Collection (Ex Legato Viri Ampliff. Levini Warneri).
