A title page on f. 4r gives the title of the first text in the present copy, but attributed to the author of the second.
A note in the flyleaf (f. 2v) of this volume records its loan between May 1838 and August 1842 to George Augustus Frederick FitzClarence (1794–1842), the 1st Earl of Munster. FitzClarence, the illegitimate son of King William IV, was interested in the history of the art of war, and amassed a vast collection of material in the years before his death, including Arabic manuscripts. This copy was returned after the Earl's death in March 1842.
