Manuscript description
The title written on f.50a with the death date of al-Fāsī. Very few correction notes and not extensive use of the margins except (f.151b-f.156a) where someone wrote in the margins part from al-Fāsī's work ''Mukhtaṣar Kitāb Tarwīḥ al-Ṣudūr bi-Ṭayyibāt al-Zuhūr''. The Kurrās number is written in the margins. Marginal announcements of contents. The copyist reproduced the colophon of the manuscript which this copy is based on a manuscript copied by its owner ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Muḥammad b. Ḥasan b. Muḥammad b. ʿUmar al-Buraʿī al-Saksakī in the Tuesday the 13th of Shaʿbān 816 AH. Some lines were left blank (and it was left blank as well in the base copy). There several poetry verses (f.187a-f.188a) praising al-Fāsī and his work written by different scholars such as:ʿIz al-Dīn Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm al-Ḥasanī al-Sunnī al-Ṣanʿānī (this poetry was written by Muḥammad b. Muḥammad (al-Shahīr bi) Ibn al-Samāʿ al-Shāfiʿī); Shams al- Dīn Muḥammad b. Muḥammad b. al-Jazarī (Qāḍī Bilād Shīrāz), Notably, Ibn al-Jazarī in one of these verses says that he gave ijāza for al-Fāsī for teaching/recounting whatever al-Jazarī teaches (riwāya):
أجزت لمولانا أبي الطيب الفاسي رواية ما أرويه عن سائر الناس.
