‘Alā’ al-Dīn Abū al-Shujā‘ Dhū al-Qarnayn ibn ‘Izz al-Dawlah ibn al-amīr Ghāzī, known as the 'Power of the Prince of the Faithful (i.e. of the Caliph)' (علاء الدين أبو الشجاع ذو القرنين بن عز الدولة بن الأمير غازي عزة أمير المؤمنين, ff. 1v, line 15-2r, line 8).
The copy was produced for the principal student of the teacher (i.e. of the author, التلميذ الرئيس للمعلم, f. 1r).
