Manuscript description
Clean copy with very few notes and comments (mostly linguistic). The copyist dropped the visualizations of the chess board and the Uyghur alphabet which exist in early copies of the work. Clean copy with very few notes and comments (mostly linguistic). The copyist dropped the visualizations of the chessboard and the Uyghur alphabet which exist in early copies of the work. The copyist started the manuscript by writing “bi-ism al-ʾāb wa-l-ibn wa-l-rūḥ al-qudus”. However, someone crossed over it and wrote instead ''bi-Ism allāh al-raḥmān al-raḥīm'' in pencil. Some (Greek?) words are written in the first page.
