Manuscript description
Names (and some important dates) are highlighted in the margins. Manuscript status: in a good condition (though there are some water stains and damage by bookworms). There is a note which suggests that the book is rather written by al-Suyūṭī as the author says that he has consulted the book of Ighāthat al-Ummah [of al-Maqrīzī] [f. 13b]. There is a note (written in 1035 AH) about the exchange rate of currencies from (990-1035 AH) [f.13b]. There is a note about the influence of the scarcity of Egyptian money (fils) on the markets [f.13b]. The folio f.1a has a long note about what is al-Mithqāl.
