The title page has a top and bottom cartouches in which the title of the work is written, and central rosette which contains the author's name. Very extensive use of the Margins which contain: few correction notes and Several commentary notes (many of them relates to commenter's time who apparently lived during or shortly after the reign of al-Ashraf Qaytbay), and (in few times) the topics which are discussed in the main text are highlighted in the margins. Sometimes, the sentences in the main text are completed in the margins.
