Begins (f. 118v, lines 2-3): Praise be to God, the One who raises ranks for those who strengthen his resolve to free work and bestows blessings For those who spend the hours of their lives repeating the errors that have opened up the subtleties of intellectual understanding... Ends (f. 125v, lines 1-3): This was more timely and more accurate than what we intended, so it is necessary for the person who wants to investigate Taking into account what we mentioned, and God is the grantor... Colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. (f. 125v, line 3): ... Praise be to God alone, and blessings be upon the one after whom there is no prophet
