Manuscript description
An Autograph of al-Maqrīzī. Many folios were left blank (or with large spaces) to be filled later, and many pieces of papers were inserted between the pages(some of these pieces of papers are more modern than the original work). Many comments and notes in the margins (very extensive use of the margins). Many additions and notes are written by Ibn Ḥajar al-ʻAsqalānī. There is a wrong title (written by a non-native speaker) on the first page which says ''Ṭabaqāt Muṭarrezī'' (written in Latin ''Motharrezii Thabacat''). This volume starts awkwardly with a short biography of Ibn Taimīya (despite that his first name is Aḥmad), then proceeds with entries of persons are their names start with the name Muḥmmad.
