Manuscript description
The folio 185 is not part of the work. There is a note on the title page which says that this book is Nihāyat al-Arab fī Maʿrifat Qabā'il al-ʿArab written by Muḥammad b. Najm al-Dīn Abī al-Faḍl al-Qarqashandī who died in 876 AH. There is an X mark next to the title. There are many notes and corrections in the margins. Sometimes the commenter makes references to the situation of the Arab tribes during his own time. There is a note on f.165 which suggests that the copyist might have dropped part of the book. There is a note on f.184b says
''هذا خط العلامة شمس الدين العلقمي شارع الجامع الصغير''.
