Single work: Arabic. Date:

11^th/17^th c. (Dānishpazhūh & Anwārī).

Or.:

unknown; unknown scribe.

Prov.:

stamps of the Senate Library crossed out with another stamp, both in blue (1r, 545v); an illegible stamp in red (inside cover, partially on the inserted library note). Old shelfmark: ‘56’ (inside cover).

Cod.: laid paper, I+544+I^a ff. (unfoliated; catchwords in the hand of the scribe). Two or more black nastaʿlīq hands. The first hand (ff. 1v–10r) displays dense diagonal writing of the main text except for the first two lines on each page; the second hand (ff. 10v–544v) appears hasty and sloppy with inconsistent page layout. Mostly dotted ductus, occasional shaddas and hamzas. Chapter headings and lemmata in red, paragraphs partially separated with red overlines. Substantial figures and tables in red and black. Few stains, upper margins damaged and repaired with pasted paper slips from f. 361 onwards, partially affecting the readability. Dimensions: 22×11 cm; written area: 18×9 cm; 14–28 lines per page (without ruling). Red goat leather over paper pasteboard (online catalogue). Type III binding.

Cont.: astronomy. — Index: Ptolemaica (1v–544v); three unrelated numbered lists of treatises in a sloppy hand (545r–545v).
