Ms. temp. no. 57 Binding: Boards covered in dark green cloth with dark green leather over spine (quarter binding) ; pastedowns and flyleaves in wove paper printed with a floral vegetal pattern in green ; spine gold-stamped with title, owner and decorative accents over raised bands "الاسفار | 2 | J.H.D." ; sewing difficult to examine but appears to be over cords, in white thread, five stations ; stuck-on endbands ; overall in fairly good condition. Support: Lined wove paper of several types. Decoration: Some headings rubricated. Script: Naskh and ruqʻah ; both in a medium to bold line ; naskh, a clear, modern hand, mainly serifless (though right-sloping head-serif appears on lām of occasional lām alif) and rounded with curvilinear descenders, open and closed counters, freely ligatured, pointing in strokes rather than distinct dots ; ruqʻah, compact, quick hand, serifless and freely ligatured with mainly closed counters, slight effect of inclination to the left, pointing somewhat careless and in strokes rather than distinct dots.

Incipit: "قد لا يكون في غير محله ان نطيل البيان في هذا الملخص الاجمالي فنضيف الى ذلكم [ذلك] التبيان السالف مجملا من العبارات عما وقع الكلمة فلسفة في هذه المملكة من التحريف تارة ومن التطور في الاطوار المختلفة التي تقلبت فيها الى الوقت الحاضر تارة اخرى ..."
