Notes

Title from title page (fol. 3a).
Marginal notes and glosses. A statement on title page attributes the work to Muḥammad ibn Farāmirz [sic], known as Mawlānā Khusraw, and another from al-Shaqāʼiq al-Nuʻmānīyah of Ṭāshkubrīzādah stating that more correctly the work is of the authorship of al-Qūshjī. The two folios preceding the title page have several notes, including one about Sūrat al-Dukhān, and a list of dual nouns. Following the colophon is a note that the MS was compared and corrected beginning to end.
