Notes
The text begins with eight lines of a poem in which the anonymous poet tries to excuse his disbelief in God (f. 4v, lines 2-9), and continues with a refutation of the poet's points by the theologian Taqī al-Dīn Aḥmad ibn ʻAbd al-Ḥalīm ibn Taymīyah (Taqi al-Din Ahmad ibn Abd al-Halim ibn Taymiyyah; AD 1263-1328).
Manuscript completed by an anonymous subscriber on 3 Dhū al-Ḥijja 712/4 April 1313 in part in Aleppo (see

in the manuscript is dated late Sha‘bān 711/early January 1312, which perhaps indicates that the manuscript is bound out of its original order (see

to Item 8, f. 174r, lines 13-14).
Begins (f. 4v, lines 2-5):
O scholars who condemn your religion, its evidence is astonishing for the clearest argument
If my Lord decrees that I am a disbeliever, he claims you and is not satisfied with it, then I will not resort to any tricks
He invited me and closed the door for me. Is there a way for me to enter? They explained my cause
He ruled against my error, then said, “I am content with the judgment. Am I satisfied with what is in my misery?”
Ends (f. 9v, lines 1-4):
He chose not to choose a misguided act, and if I achieved this abandonment, I would win a seizure
This is possible, but it depends on what God wants from the person walking
Without you, understand the meanings in it that you have answered if it is solved by understanding its instinct
A reference to an origin that indicates guidance, and God, the Lord of creation, has the most complete praise

(f. 9v, lines 5-7):
Thank God, it took place in Aleppo on the eve of the third Saturday of Dhu al-Hijjah
In the year seven hundred and twelve, may God bless the one who saved (?) from calamity and carried us
On the path of happiness and guidance, and his family and companions are worthy of credit and dew
