Manuscript description
Correction notes and marginal notes to denote lacunae in the original manuscript from which this volume was copied. The first page in a bad state. Copied from an unnamed original manuscript. However, It is possible to identify this original manuscript because of a copied note on the title page which agrees verbatim with the note found on the elaborately decorated title page of Dār al-Kutub Tārīkh 102, in which the manuscript was connected to the work to a caliphal benefactor (the caliph is named as al-Mahdī b. al-Manṣūr Ḥusayn b. al-Mutawakkil, who is not identifiable). That original copy was itself claimed to have been an autograph copy, but the note with this claim is here not copied.
