Manuscript description
Contains a very elaborately executed title page in gold, blue, and black with the title spread over two cartouches on the top and bottom of the frame and a central rosette bearing the author’s name. Not very extensive use of the margins (very few corrections) and several commentary notes throughout the manuscript, and continuation of the text in the margins. There is a note on f.246a about the last name of the Sultan Qanṣūh al-Ghawrī. There is a long biography of the author (on f.253b, 254a) written by al-ʿAbd al-Muṣtafā b. Muḥib al-Dīn who refers to Ibn Ḥajar as ''the teacher of my grandfather''.
