Manuscript description
Digital copy consulted. First work in a short majmūʿ with another risāla by al-Maqrīzī (Risāla fī dhikr al-ghiyā l-wāqiʿ fī Miṣr min qadīm al-zamān ilā waqt al-muʾallif), copied by the same hand. Several correction notes are written by a different hand and some invocations and popular ḥadīth in the margins.
- Ownership Statement
Title sheet (1a) bears a seal attesting of a waqf in 1316, but the name of the bequeather is not readable. Another faded stamp there is also found on 47b. The title page of the second work in the collection bears an ownership statement by Muḥammad Azbī al-Muwāhib known as Abī Rafīh (?) Ghūla (?), and a small stamp reading only Muḥammad, presumably by the same owner.
- Colophon
There is a colophon on 25a, but it is not dated.
