Manuscript description
No title. Missing the first couple of pages. Several correction notes in the margins (and very few commentary notes). There is a note on f.147a which says that ''this'' (hādhā) was written in 987 AH (I am not sure what he means by hādhā though). There is poetry written on f.147b about a man who is afraid about his daughter's future after his death, and ending up praying (despite his love of her) that she would die soon.
- Ownership Statement
Ownership statement of: certain Jirjis? (...?) in 1221 AH (who bought it in 1221), and apparently his son Ibrāhīm b. Jirjis? (Misrī?!) (and his stamp) in 1261 AH (f.1a). There is an ownership statement (f.147b) of Jirjis who says that he bought it with Dirhams (bi-darāhim)
- Colophon
Colophon: There is a colophon on f.147a, however a major part of it is not clear as it is trimmed because it is written at the edge of the paper. The colophon says that it is written in the 9th hijri century, but the exact date is copied from the British Library's catalog.
