Origin: Colophon, apparently in the author's handwriting, stating that the draft (al-mussawadah) of a text he wrote on the Iḥyāʾ was completed in '51, and that the clear copy (tabyīḍ) of this summary was completed on Monday 12 Rabīʻ II 790 [April 20, 1388] in al-Madīnah al-sharīfah (fol. 333a). A note on the margin of the colophon confirms that this is the author's handwriting.
Incipit: بسم ... اللهم صل على محمد واله الحمد لله الذى احيا علوم الدين فانبعت بعد اضمحلالها ... وبعد فلما وفق الله تعالى لاكمال الكلام على احياء علوم الدين فى سنة احدى وخمسين ... الوقوف على بعض احاديثه فاخرت تبيضه الى سنة ستين فظفرت بكثير مما غرب عنى علمه ... [2أ] ... احاديث الخطبة حديث اشد الناس عذابا يوم القيمة عالم لم ينفعه الله بعلمه
Explicit: اذا وجد صبيا الحديث والحمد لله تعالى عودا على بدء [333أ] والصلوة والتسليم على سيدنا محمد فى كل حركة وهدء

Apparently 14th or 15th century binding. Golden brown leather over paper pasteboards for upper and lower covers. Both covers are similarly gold- and blind-tooled. The panel has a central roundel on a ground left plain, filled with a eight-pointed star and gold- and blind-impressions of two small stamps. The roundel is defined by a fillet with eight radiating flecks. The outer border consists of fillets and a running pattern. The inner corners are filled with impressions of a small semi-circular stamp. Embossed leather doublure (partly covered with paper). Damaged; stained; gold partially wanting.
