Manuscript description
Ornate title page framed by a gold line and executed in gold and blue. The title page has a top cartouche in which the title of the work is written, bottom cartouche in which the following sentence is written: “bi-rasm al-Janāb al-ʿĀalī al-Amīrī al-Kabīrī Sayyid ʿAlī al-Zardakāsh al-Malakī al-Ẓāhirī Aʿazzahu Allāh” , and central rosette which contains the author's name. Not extensive use of the margins which contain very few correction The first folio is added from other work which contains part from al-Maqrizi’s work “al-Sulūk” that describes the conquest of Tripoli during the reign of Sultan Qalawūn.
- Ownership Statement
. Ownership statement of certain Ḥasan al-Yūsufānī (in the year of 3300??). However, I am not sure whether this statement is related to this manuscript or not as it is written on an added folio. There is a note says ''Collated 4.8.69'' at the end of the book.
