Manuscript description
Many correction and/or commentary notes, extensive marginal usage. Possibly a musawwada copy. The manuscript is in fairly bad state. Title page announces the work to be part of a majmūʿa with three other texts (all four are said to be “rasāʾil gharība”), but only the first of these has been preserved in this volume. It was supposedly bound together with al-Maqrīzī’s own “Ighāthat al-umma bi-kashf al-ghumma”, Najm al-Dīn al-Ghazzī’s “al-Haqāʾiq wa-l-raqāʾiq” and the anonymous “Niẓām al-Dīn al-Maknūn fī ḥukm khirqat al-afqar al-maṣūn”. The title page also contains some poetry and rhyming prose.
- Ownership Statement

- Colophon
The colophon dates the work to 18 Dhū l-Ḥijja of either 847 or 947 / 7 April 1444 or 15 April 1541.
