The text has been collated (see mentions "balagha" on the margins and collation notes). Catchword on the verso of each leaf. Mainly quaternions. Modern foliation in pencil using Western numerals (faulty). Margins worm-eaten.

Inscription in Western numerals on a spine label: "712" (repeated in pencil on a piece of paper pasted on the pastedown of the upper cover).
Incipit: يا من وفقنا لتجريد الكلام عقايد الاسلام وايّدنا لتشحيد الافهام لتحرير مقاصد الكلام ... [3أ] ... وبعد فان شرح التجريد للمولى العلامة ... المولى علاء الدين على القوشجى ... يحتوى على مباحث جليلة ومطالب بنيلة ... [7أ] ... قوله فى الحاشية قيل لم ير ربه معينا الى آخره اقول مراده بالزيادة فى الجملة الزيادة بوجه ما هو ذلك ليس معنى ثالثا كما ظنّه
Explicit: مادة اعنى اقباء المتحلل الرطب وابقاء اليابس ثم استدل عليه بنمط آخر واطال الكلام فيه على ما هو دابه تمت هذه الكتاب
