Manuscript description
Volume three seems like it is written by a different script and most probably manuscript “TKSM A.1571” is the one which completes this set as it has the same structure and written by the same copyist. Not very extensive use of the margins which contain: commentary notes, correction notes, and highlighting the topics discussed throughout the manuscript. There is an index on two unnumbered folios at the beginning of the codex. Completion of sentences in the margins.
