Manuscript description
Info obtained from the Library of Fatih's catalog, the Sulaymaniyya's database (on-site), and a digitized colored copy of the manuscript. The title says that this manuscript is the first volume of the work (which covers chapters 1-5), but this is not the usual structure of the manuscripts of the work. The title page has It has a cartouche that contains the title of the book, and a central (quite unique) rosette that contains the author’s names and titles written in black small ink. The cartouch and the rosette are usually structured within a rectangular panel, but this manuscript does not have one. The manuscript was reviewed by the author of the work. There is a golden medallion next to the upper left side of the cartouche. Clean margins. Sometimes the main text is completed in the margins. The first two folios are framed by gold and blue lines.
