Ms. codex., Title from opening on p.6., Incipit: “Praise be to God, who made the angels messengers with two, three, and four wings... This is a nice composition that I compiled in the reports of the righteous angels... and I called it Al-Habaaik in the reports of the angels...”, Explicit: “And the obstacles in God Almighty’s saying, ‘He has obstacles from before him and behind him.’ That is finished, and by God the book was completed with the help of King Al-Wahhab.”, Collation: ii, 9 V(90), I+1 (93), ii ; almost exclusively quinions ; middle of the quire marks in the form of an oblique stroke in the lower outer corner of the left-hand leaf; catchwords present ; foliation in black ink, Hindu-Arabic numerals; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization (includes flyleaves)., Layout: Written in 27 lines per page ; frame-ruled., Script: Naskh ; elegant and compact Egyptian or Turkish [?] hand; extensively seriffed with right-sloping head-serifs on most ascender letters (even free-standing alif), slight effect of tilt to the left, mainly closed counters, freely ligatured, curvilinear descenders (some sweeping), pointing in distinct dots, partially vocalized., Decoration: Illuminated headpiece (ʻunwān) at opening on p.6 consisting of a rectangular piece with empty gold cartouche flanked by swirling floral vegetable decoration in white, lavender, and gold on fields of blue and green, surmounted by a scalloped semi-circular piece (dome) with floral vegetable motifs in blue, dark pink, white, lavender, green, and black on a gold ground itself surmounted by undulating vegetable motifs resembling leaves and even feathers in gold, green and blue; keywords rubricated; text of written area surrounded by frame consisting of gold band with black fillets and outermost blue fillet; textual dividers in the form of red discs., Support: non-European (likely Persian or Indian) laid paper with 9 laid lines per cm.
