Manuscript description
The title says that this manuscript is the fourth quarter of the entire work. Many notes and very extensive use of the margins. Some empty pages (f. 108a-109b) and a lot of empty spaces. The manuscript is very likely a fifteenth-century copy. Most of the papers have either the word ''waqf'' or ''waqf al-malik al-ashraf qāytibāy'' written over them. There is a note (f.130a) says: سمع من لفظي جميع هذا الكتاب و هو مقابل بنسختي التي قابلتها بنسخة المصنف رحمه الله نقل ولدي محيي الدين أبو زكريا في ستة وخمسين (...) أولها يوم السبت ثالث شعبان و آخرها يوم الأربعاء حادي عشر شوال كان ذلك من سنة سبع و ستين (...) ثم (...) دار الندوة في المسجد الحرام و أخبرته بروايتي لهذا الكتاب (...) مؤلفه أجازه (...) و أخبرت له روايته و جميع ما نحو ذلك.
