Notes
This small manuscript is interesting for its comprehensive documentation and also for its extensive illumination. The copyist's code says that it was copied by Al-Hasan Ibn Juban Ibn Abdullah Al-Qawani (from Konya) in Saad al-Din Kobak's school in the city of Konya in eastern Turkey in the year 678 AH (1278 AD). It is somewhat unusual that the person who did the gilding is also called Mukhlis Ibn Abdullah al-Hindi (from India). The manuscript now includes seven double pages and one single page of gilding, all in a basic color combination of blue and gold. (The front part of the single page that now forms the beginning of the manuscript was probably originally a double-page composition.) Throughout the text, the name of God is written in golden ink.
