Notes	A summary by al-Ḥajj Luṭf Allāh, known as al-Khazīndār (الحاج لطف الله الشهير بالخزيندار; see f. 2v, lines 5-6), based on the bibliographical encyclopaedia completed in about 1062/1652 by the Ottoman scholar Muṣṭafá ibn ʿAbd Allāh (Mustafa ibn Abdullah, d.1067/1657), also known as Kâtip Çelebi (Secretary of Forty) and Ḥājjī Khalīfah (Pilgrim Caliph). The original work begins with an introductory section dealing with the classification of the sciences, followed by the main body of the encyclopaedia in which about 14,500 books are listed alphabetically by title and given some commentary.
