Notes

• Ms. codex.
• Title from fol. 1a.

• Ca. 16 lines per page. Written in a medium sized casual taʻlīq in black ink. The added poems in the margins are in a smaller size taʻlīq (these appear to have been added by a later owner, Mehmet Hanafi -- see ownership note below). Catchwords on the verso of each leaf. Thick, glazed paper with watermarks. A note on the contents by the owner Mehmet Hanafi on fol. 1a. Water damage to paper throughout with some loss of text.
