Ms. 98 Origin: Lacks dated colophon ; paper would suggest late 16th or early 17th century. Accompanying materials: Three folded half-sheets of blue wove paper (with embossed mark with crown above "BATH") carrying excerpts in black ink (paginated pp.43-54). Former shelfmark: British Museum, London "No. 32. Commentary on Kuduri." Binding: Limp to semi-limp in black leather ; Type III binding (without flap) ; board linings in paper ; upper and lower covers bear blind-stamped central mandorla (vegetal design, both vertical and horizontal symmetry, difficult to tell whether includes chī clouds or not, possibly Déroche NSd) and pendants with incised rule-border and corner pieces ; sewn in cream thread, two stations ; fine worked chevron endbands in green and red ; in poor condition with severe moisture damage, shrinkage (upper cover especially), abrasion of cover designs, cracking and lifting of leather at spine, etc. Support: European laid paper with roughly 7 laid lines per cm. and chain lines (horizontal) spaced about 29 mm. apart ; three crescents / tre lune watermark (compare Heawood 865) ; wear to textblock due to ill-fitting cover, along with moisture damage and some ink burn. Decoration: Text rubricated with section headings, keywords, overlining, etc. in red. Script: Naskh ; bold Turkish (?) hand ; essentially serifless ; effect of slight tilt to the left ; mainly open counters ; often sweeping tail of final nūn or yāʼ essentially underlines following word ; occasionally vocalized. Layout: Written in 19 lines per page ; frame-ruled (impression of ruling-board evident). Collation: i, 10 V(100), V+1 (111), i ; chiefly quinions ; catchwords present ; foliation in black ink, Hindu-Arabic numerals, occasionally lost to wear (indiscriminately skips numerous leaves) ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization (includes flyleaves and insert). Explicit: "فاذا صححت المسئلة المناسخة واردت معرفة ما يصيب كل واحد من حساب [؟] الدرهم قسمت ما صحت منه المسئلة على ثمانية واربعين فيما خرجت اخذت له من سهام وارث حبة والله اعلم بالصواب واليه المرجع والمآب تمت الكتاب بعون الله الملك الوهاب" Incipit: "كتاب الطهارة قال الله تعالى يا ايها الذين امنوا اذا قمتم الى الصلوة فاغسلوا وجوهكم وايديكم الى المرافق وامسحوا برؤسكم وارجلكم الى الكعبين ..." Title from heading on incipit page, fol.1b (p.4). Ms. codex. Bookplate of British Museum, London on inner front cover,"British Museum, London. No. 32. Commentary on Kuduri." ; circular seal impression with figure of goat/gazelle in purple ink as well as inscription "184" in Western numerals on front flyleaf (p.1) ; ownership statement in name of Ali Efendi on interior of lower cover reads "صاحب ومالك علي افندي" ; numerous marginal and interlinear corrections ; occasional glosses throughout.
