Manuscript description
Quite Unusually decorated manuscript. But it seems that the project of fully decorating it was suddenly interrupted. Thus, the first couple of folios were well-decorated (in gold, green, and blue), then some folios were (half-)decorated by clearly cheaper colors, while the rest of the manuscript is not decorated or framed at all. The folio f.1a has an ornate headpiece executed in gold and blues at the top of an empty gold frame. There are various decorative elements around the frame, which was executed in gold and green at the start of the manuscript, but then in blue, green, yellow, and crimson ink for the following folios. Not extensive use of the margins: few comments and correction notes. The letters are vocalized. The copyist kept the visualizations of the chessboard and the Uyghur alphabet which are omitted in some of the copies of the work. The margin of f.46 has a note about the fate of an ''unjust Ottoman ruler (ẓālim min ẓalamat banī ʿuthmān) during the ''Jalālian strife'' (i.e. al-Fitna al-Jalāliyyah) (followed by Persian/Ottoman writing). Reading note of Jamāl al-Dīn al-Mālikī al-Madanī in 1019 AH (f.1a). Catch-title is written on the edges of the manuscript.
