According to the colophon, apparently written by the author, this text was completed on Monday 12 Rabīʻ II 790 [April 20, 1388] in al-Madīnah al-sharīfah (fol. 333a). The text is followed on fol. 333a-334b by several short texts. | Ms. codex., Title from fol. 1a (in red ink)., Physical description: 19 lines per page.

A note on the margin of the colophon confirms that this is the author's handwriting., Incipit: بسم ... اللهم صل على محمد واله الحمد لله الذى احيا علوم الدين فانبعت بعد اضمحلالها ... وبعد فلما وفق الله تعالى لاكمال الكلام على احياء علوم الدين فى سنة احدى وخمسين ... الوقوف على بعض احاديثه فاخرت تبيضه الى سنة ستين فظفرت بكثير مما غرب عنى علمه ... [2أ] ... احاديث الخطبة حديث اشد الناس عذابا يوم القيمة عالم لم ينفعه الله بعلمه, Explicit: اذا وجد صبيا الحديث والحمد لله تعالى عودا على بدء [333أ] والصلوة والتسليم على سيدنا محمد فى كل حركة وهدء | Apparently 14th or 15th century binding.
