Manuscript description
Almost clear margins (very few correction notes and very few commentary notes). There is a paper inside the book syas ''College of Fort William 1825. There are added English papers at the end of the book (probably from an old English newspaper). The copyist did not keep the visualizations of the chessboard and the Uyghur alphabet which exist in some of the copies of the work, while the Uyghur alphabet are written in a comment in the margins of f.72a . The papers are loose, and harmed by water but still legible.
