Cod.: paper, I+103 ff. (unfoliated; catchwords). The manuscript consists of three different parts (1r–59v, 60r–91v, 92r–103v) written on different types of paper and by at least three different clear nastaʿlīq hands in black. The moisture stains show that the parts making up the manuscript have different sources and are not the result of three different scribes working in parallel on a single manuscript; nevertheless the written area and the number of lines are the same in all three parts, and thus the later parts of the manuscript may have been added to an already existing one. Almost fully dotted ductus; occasional vowels (mostly tanwīns), occasional hamzas but hardly any shaddas. Book title in black; chapter captions in red, but in the third part (92r–103v) in black with red overlines. No diagrams or tables. Codex in acceptable condition; significant moisture stains and partially worm-eaten. Dimensions: 17×10 cm, written area: c. 12½×6 cm; 18 lines per page.

Cont.: astrology. — Index: title page with two philosophical and religious reflections and the name ‘Fāṭima’ written numerous times (1r); Ptolemaica (1v–103v). Blank: Iv.
