Incipit: قال الشيخ الامام العالم العلامة اقضي القضاة علاء الدين ابو الحسن على بن سليمن المرداوي الحنيفي امتع الله المسلمين ببقآيه وحرسه بملايكة ارضه وسمايه الحمد لله الذي علّم ووفّق والهم وفهّم وحقّق ... اما بعد ف[---] بالبال ان اقتضت ما في كتابي الانصاف من تصحيح ما اطلق الشيخ الموفق في المقنع من الخلاف وما لم يفصح فيه بتقديم حكم
Explicit: وقد سبكت ما هذيته في هذه التنقيح في كلام المصنف ومزجته مع بعض اختصار ليكون كالكتاب المستقل ليحفظه من اراده والله اعلم قال مؤلفه عفا الله عنه وكان الفراغ منه في سادس عشر شوال سنة اثنين وسبعين وثمانى مايه احسن الله تقضيها في خير وعافية
Binding Note
Brown leather over paper pasteboards for upper and lower covers. Traces of a now wanting fore-edge flap. Both covers are similarly blind and gold tooled (gold almost completely wanting), with a large central roundel filled with a geometrical pattern and impressions of a small round stamp in gold. The roundel is outlined by a fillet with radiating flecks. The outer border consists of fillets and a running pattern of impressions of a square stamp. The inner corners are demarcated by fillets and filled with gold and blind impressions of a small stamp. Embossed leather doublure. Apparently 15th century.
