Summary note

Commentary on the Mukhtaṣar of Shaykh Khalīl. This copy is very neatly written in 4 volumes in the same hand; fairly extensive worm damage though mostly confined to the margins; approximately 30 leaves missing from the beginning of volume 3, according to the earlier foliation.

Notes

• Binding: Brown leather over pasteboard with flap (Type II). The leather binding of each volume is severely deteriored and has pulled away from the spine. The front and back covers are loose or, in some cases, completely detached. Covers are blind tooled with a frame and scalloped outline around a central mandorla of red, embossed paper onlay. Flap has coordinating tooling and onlay. Bottom edge shortened title on each volume: al-Awwal [al-Thānī] min Bahrām.
• Decoration: Rubrications in red.
• Foliation: Perhaps contemporary to the marginalia, all volumes foliated in light brown ink, upper right verso, faded and often worm damaged now. Modern foliation added in pencil, upper left recto; catchwords every verso, lower left. References in the record are to the modern foliation.
• Layout: 33 long lines; some marginalia.
• Origin: The date of each volume is given in the colophon of the volume: volume 1: 977 A.H. (1570) (f. 250r); volume 2: 979 A.H. (1571) (f. 293r); volume 3: 980 A.H. (1472) (f. 242r); volume 4: 981 A.H. (1573) (f. 248v). All volumes were copied by Nūr al-Dīn al-Daljamūnī ibn Aḥmad ibn Shihāb al-Dīn al-Ḥūfī (colophon of each volume).
• Script: Written in small, neat naskh in black ink; marginalia in maghribi in brown ink.
