Notes
Ms. codex., Title from inscription on 'title page' (p.1)., Incipit: “Know that standing with creation and the soul is a veil from the truth, and seeing actions is polytheism, because the actions of the servants are attributed to God Almighty in creation and creation, and to the servant as earning, so that he may reward the obedient and punish for disobedience...”, Explicit: “The soul is adorned with piety, supported with guidance, educated with piety, and nourished with remembrance, and God Almighty knows best.”, Collation: i, 3 IV(24), III (30), 2 IV(46), 2 II(54), i ; chiefly quaternions ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization., Layout: Written mainly in 16 lines per page., Script: Naskh with influence of ruqʻah ; Compact, modern hand in a thin to medium line; Partially but irregularly seriffed with right-sloping head-serif on occasional lām, slight effect of tilt to the left, curvilinear descenders, open and closed counters, pointing somewhat in strokes rather than distinct dots, final yāʼ usually unpointed; some passages in ruqʻah., Support: Mainly lined / ruled wove paper, ledger style with a final gathering in machine laid paper with watermark of "GOUVERNEMENT EGYPTIEN" with star and crescent at center and other smaller crescents with three stars (see p.101 to close and compare Walz, "The Paper trade of Egypt and the Sudan," p.91)., Binding: Boards covered in black textured cloth; pastedowns and flyleaves in wove paper printed with a geometric pattern (resembling a scale pattern) in olive green or dull gold; cover gold-stamped with "Moufia rules [sic]" ; sewn in white thread over two recessed cords; overall in fairly good condition., Former shelfmark: Mich.
