Notes	About: Seventh of twenty-five volumes containing a collection of the epic tales of al-Malik Asad al-Fawāris ibn Jūdar [Jawdar], the fāris of ʻIrāq, in the manner of the Arabic heroic narrative (sīrah shaʻbīyah) apparently compiled in the present form by Muḥammad ibn Sulayman ʻArafāt (fl.1895) and Amīn ibn Muḥammad al-Sārī (fl.1895). \| Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 653 v.7 Origin: This volume lacks dated colophon. As appears in colophon of volume 25 (Isl. Ms. 653 v.25, pp.112-113) transcription of the entire set executed by Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥājj Sulaymān ʻArafāt with transcription completed 20 Dhū al-Ḥijjah 1312 [ca. 14 June 1895]. This volume was likely completed within months of that date. The colophon of vol. 25 also indicates that the work was authored by Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥājj Sulaymān ʻArafāt and Amīn ibn Muḥammad al-Sārī. Accompanying materials: For acquisitions slip and inventory cataloguing slip, see volume 1 of the set, Isl. Ms. v.1. Former shelfmark: From verso of opening leaf (p.2), "IL 163" (likely supplied by Yahuda, see acquisitions slip in volume 1, Isl. Ms. 653 v.1). Binding: Lacks cover, though spine carries traces of hinges in paper ; numeral ٧ (indicating volume number) inscribed on outer leaves ; somewhat crudely sewn in beige yarn or twine, mainly four but also seven stations ; overall in fair condition despite lacking cover, with staining, some tears, etc. Support: European laid paper with 9-10 laid lines per cm. (vertical), chain lines spaced 23-26 mm. apart (horizontal), and watermark of three crescents (78 mm. long, perpendicular to chains) above 'FERDINANDO BETTI' itself above word in Arabic script (see p.4, 20, 22, etc.). Decoration: Transfer picture of a carnation with stems and leaves on 'title page' (p.3). Script: Ruqʻah ; virtually serifless with slight effect of tilt to the left and of words descending to baseline (occasionally more exaggerated), mainly closed counters, some elongation of horizontal strokes, point of final nūn often set deep within bowl, pointing (for two and three dots) varies from strokes or conjoined dots to distinct dots. Layout: Written in 15 lines per page, occasionally divided to two columns to set off poetry. Collation: VI (12), 4 V(52), V+1 (63) ; chiefly quinions ; opening and final leaves left blank (serve as 'flyleaves') ; pagination in black ink, Hindu-Arabic numerals, center of the upper margin ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization. Explicit: "صار الضياء في عينه ظلام وصرخ عليه صوت زلزل الاكام وقال له يا ابن اللئام تهتني بكلامك والليل امسى وصارت الليلة غلسه والحديث ليلة غدا وغدا تسمعون يا كرام ما يأتي في بقية هذا الكلام واصلي واسلم على سيد ولد عدنان انتهى الجزء السابع من سيرة اسد الفوارس ويليه الثامن م" Incipit: "الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على سيد المرسلين سيدنا محمد وعلى اله وصحبه اجمعين قال الراوي الناقل لهذا الكلام ..." Title from 'title page' (p.3). Ms. codex. Ownership statement in name of the copyist (and one of the authors) Muḥammad ʻArafāt ( محمد عرفات ) on opening leaf (p.1) reads "هذا الكتاب الى محمد عرفات" ; circular / oval seal impression on front flyleaf / outermost leaf (p.1) in name of one Saʻd al-Dīn [?] ( سعد الدين ...؟).
