Manuscript description
The title mistakenly attributes the work to Jalāl al-Dīn al-Suyūṭī. Red dots around poetry hemistichs. Very few notes in the margins (some in Latin). No discernible watermark. Sometimes, the main text continues in the margins. The title page contains several poetry lines and a ''medical'' recipe attributed to the prophet Muḥammad which should help in ''memorizing the Quran, getting rid of phlegm, improving sexual ability''.
