Manuscript description
First volume of four under the same shelf mark. The others are treated separately as they are modern copies. Marginal section markers throughout the manuscript. No colophon, but the manuscript is very likely a fifteenth or sixteenth-century copy. The manuscript has very few correction notes in the margins. There is a note on f.1a which says that the author has introduced himself in this book. Also, there is a modern note at the end of the book which gives information about the order of the biographical entries in the book (i.e. starting by the name Muḥammad then Alphabetical order). Also, it notes that the author has introduced the book in his biography f.81b-f.91 and that the author started writing this book in 812 AH. There is a note (f.1a) copied from Ḥājjī Khalīfa's work ''Kashf al-Ẓunūn'' about the author's other works and their structure. There is an index at the end of the work. There are big water stains on the book's papers but they are still legible. Modern binding.
