Notes
Ms. codex.
Title from spine label.
Physical description: 21 lines per page. Written in medium small naskh with elements of nastaʻlīq, in black ink. Yāʼ for alif maqṣūrah ; final yāʼ dotted. European paper. The beginning of the text is apparently a later replacement (fol. 2). Fol. 1 in the modern foliation is a fly-leaf with name of the author on the recto. Fol. 95 detached.
Origin: According to colophon, copied for al-Shaykh Nājī ibn al-Shaykh Hamzah [Nājī ibn Hamzah], his brother in God, Rabīʻ al-Ākhar 973 [2 crossed out] [1565] (fol. 95a).
Incipit: بسم ... وبه الاستعانة والتوكل الحمد لله رب العالمين حمدا يستدر اخلاف كرمه ... اما بعد فان الادلة العقلية والنقلية متطابقة على شرف العلوم ومن اهمها معرفة الحي القيوم
Explicit: الفصل الثالث في الامساك وفيه مطالب الاول فيما يسك عنه وهو اقسام الاول الابتلاع يجب ه الى هنا انتهى فنهى كلام المص
Binding note
Bound in leather (camel color). Both covers are similarly blind tooled with a border consisting of a running pattern of impressions of a s-shape stamp outlined by two fillets on each side. The central area defined by the border has two fillets crossing in the middle, thus forming a "x". Paper pastedown and free endpaper.
Provenance
Impression of an oval seal (200 mm.) on fol. 2b.
