Manuscript description
Very few correction notes. F.1v has a quite elaborately decorated headpiece with floral patterns executed in blue and red. The manuscript foliation only starts at what should be considered f.2a (i.e. discounts the title page and the first page of text including the headpiece) and thus only gets to 191 folios.
- Ownership Statement
F.1a has a note attesting of the manuscript’s acquisition from the bequest of Ibrāhīm Afraḍ (?) al-ʿArūsī and added to the khedival library on 5 November 1881. Khedival seals on that page and on 192b.
