Title from fol. 1a.
Physical description: 19 lines per page. Written in medium small naskh in black ink (fading to brown). Soft dark cream paper with pulp visible. Important marginalia, apparently form the same hand as the main text. Verses of poetry in Persian on fol. 220b and fol. 221b (attributed to Imām Ghazālī on fol. 220b). Fol. 1 and 2a, and 222, are later additions on glazed European paper (fol. 1 "Tre Lune" ; fol. 2a pasted on the first original folio, now fol. 2b).
Origin: Copy completed by Khiḍr ibn Ramaḍān al-Arzan al-Rūmī [Erzurūmī] in 724 H. (colophon, fol. 220a). The copy of the ḥāshiyah (apparently same hand) was completed on a Friday in Arzan al-Rūm (Erzurum) in the Madrasah al-Jalālīyah.
Copyist: Khiḍr ibn Ramaḍān al-Arzan al-Rūmī [Erzurūmī].
