Notes
Ms. codex.
Title from opening rubric (fol. 3b).
18 long lines per page. Written in a script tending to shikastah, using black ink and some red. Dark cream paper, glossy, with horizontal laid lines visible. The text is illustrated with numerous diagrams in black and red ink. Abundant marginalia; one leaf is damaged so that parts of the marginalia are lost (see fol. 42). Catchwords on the verso of each leaf.
Text begins on fol. 3b.
According to the colophon, copied in 627 H. (fol. 83b). Hitti suggests however a later date (15th cent.?).
