In the margin, mention of the end of the parts of the original copy (see fol. 158b, 170a). Reading and ownership statements, with a seal, on fol. 1a. On the paper pastedown on the upper cover : inscriptions (title, - almost completely faded ; quotation from the Sūrat al-Aʻrāf ; a ḥadīth) ; label with the Arabic number "52". Pagination in Arabic numerals (center of lower margin). Modern foliation in pencil using Western numerals. Water-damaged with ink seriously faded in the inner margin from fol. 170 on.

On the title page (fol. 1a), the name "al-Bukharī" is written over the original name (illegible), the title reading thus: "Tārīkh al-Bukhārī" and "al-mujallad al-awwal min Tārīkh al-Bukhārī" (two times). This also occurs at the beginning of the text (fol. 1b), where the following is written upon the original text (after "Muḥammad ibn"): "Ibrāhīm Ibn Ismāʻīl(?) al-Bukhārī al-Juʻfī fī majālis ākhiruhā fī Muḥarram sanat sabʻ ʻasharah wa-sittamiʾah".

In the colophon, the copyist states that this is the end of the first volume, corresponding to the 16th part (quire) of the original copy, followed in the 17th part by Aḥmad ibn ʻAlī al-Bukhārī (fol. 182a). In the audition statement, it is stated that this volume is part of a set of four (fol. 182a).

On last fol., audition statement (samāʻ) dated Madīnat al-Salām [Baghdād], Jumādá al-Ulá 623 [April/May 1226] signed by the author.
