Manuscript description
195x120 mm (framed by two red lines). Very few correction notes and comments and occasional announcements of the topics in the margins. The edges of the papers are harmed by bookworms (but the text is clearly legible). Some pages are damaged by water stains (especially at the end). There is an unnumbered empty folio between f.351-f.352. The copyist ended the book by a short biography of al-Maqrīzī, and discusses if the author was a descendant of the Fatimids.
