Notes

• Ms. codex.
   
• Title from title page (fol. 2a).
   
• 15 lines per page. Written in medium large naskh in black ink, with larger script for headings. Light cream glazed paper. The paper has been frame-ruled. Simply illuminated title page (ʻunwān) in gold, green and blue. Leaves wanting between fol. 2 and 3. Collation notes (see fol. 6b). Foliation in pencil using Arabic numerals. Foliation in pencil using Western numerals.
   
• Lacuna after fol. 2. The first complete poem begins on fol. 6b (Qaṣīdat Ṭarafah ibn al-ʻAbd al-Wāʼilī).
   
• The date Rabīʻ al-Awwal 655 [1257] in the colophon (fol. 70a) seems to be the date of completion of the text. See Mach, R. Yahuda.
