a statement of ownership by ʿAbd al-Ghanī al-Thānī b. al-Ḥasan al-Ḥusaynī b. ʿAbd al-Ghanī al-Māḍī dated 〈1〉117/1705-6 and followed by his oval seal (1r); a statement of ownership by Ḥasan b. ʿAbd al-Ghanī al-Ḥusaynī dated 1208/1793-4 (1r) and followed by his oval seal. A statement of ownership by Ismaʿīl b. Ḥusayn al-Ḥusaynī dated 1254/1838-39 (1r). A very sloppily written note stating that Iḥtishām al-Mulk, the ruler of Kashan, donated the manuscript to Muʿāwin al-Mulk, dated Rajab 1286/October-November 1869 (96v). A note in Persian accompanied by an indecipherable signature stating that the manuscript was donated to the writer of the note by Sayyid Muḥammad Mutawallī, the son of the late Ghulām Ḥusayn Mutawallī Ṭabasī, on 28 Muḥarram 1348/6 July 1929 (1r). Several erased statements (1r); ‘bīst wa panj qirān’, presumably the price of the manuscript (Ir). An undated note in Persian by Muḥammad Mahdī ʿImād Fihristī about al-ʿUrḍī’s Muqaddima fī taṣḥīḥ burhān, which is found on the following folios (96v; Gulchīn Maʿānī). Donated to the library by Ḥājj ʿImād Fihristī in Tīr 1310/June-July 1931 (library slips). Library stamps (e.g., Ir, 1r–v, 96r–97r, 104v–105v).

A microfilm of this manuscript at the Marʿashī Library in Qom (no. 3418) has a pagination, does not yet show the foliation and some of the library stamps, and features two additional pages (possibly an inlaid sheet) that are here not further considered.
