Notes
The colophon date, A.H. 1003 (A.D. 1594 or 1595) "at Mecca," has been written in by a later hand and is certainly not genuine.
Fair modern (18th century?) naskhī, in red and black. Leaves 1-6 supplied by a later hand.
Islamic binding, in black, with flap.
Colophon: "Tammat ... fī al-tārīkh <hafdahum> sabʻ ʻashar min shahr Rabīʻ al-Awwal, fī yawm al-Arbaʻ, baʻda ṣalāt al-fajr 'fī Makkah sanat 1003' [added above the line, upside down]."
