Notes
Ms. codex., Title from inscription on opening 'title page' (p.1)., Incipit: “The honor of knowledge lies in the honor of its subject, so the most honorable of the sciences is the science of monotheism because its subject is the essence of God Almighty and His attributes. In other words, the highest aspect is that which exists by what exists...”, Explicit: “And the highest is real and the intention between them is like the intention between rain and snow.”, Collation: i, III (6), I (8), IV (16), 2 I (20), IV+I (30), 5 IV(70), VI (82), 3 IV(106), III (112), i ; chiefly quaternions ; pages between sections (mainly corresponding to gatherings though with a few constituting multiple gatherings) left blank with some carrying section titles in pencil (see pp.33, 41, 181, 213) ; catchwords present ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization (includes insert)., Layout: Written mainly in 17 lines per page., Script: Ruqʻah ; quick, compact hand in a medium line ; serifless and freely ligatured with effect of inclination to the left and of words descending to baseline, mainly closed counters, pointing somewhat careless and in strokes rather than distinct dots, final yāʼ usually unpointed., Decoration: Text almost entirely executed in a pinkish-red ink (only pp.143-149 in a brownish-black ink)., Support: Sturdy machine wove paper., Binding: Boards covered in dark green cloth with dark green leather over spine (quarter binding); pastedowns and flyleaves in wove paper printed with a floral vegetable pattern in green; spine gold-stamped with title and decorative accents over raised bands "Ilm al-Yaqin Mulla Mohsen al-Alam | J.H.D." ; sewn in white thread over two recessed cords; stuck-on endbands (blue and white stripe); overall in fairly good condition with minor abrasion and slight spine slant., Former shelfmark: Mich. Island. Ms. temp. no. 146, Accompanying materials: Slip at close with inscription “Ilm al-Yaqin Mulla Muhsin al-Alam” likely to note how the spine should be stamped (paginted pp.225-226)., Origin: Lacks dated scribal colophon ; likely copied in Egypt in the late 1930s and bound for James Heyworth-Dunne (d.1974)., On upper pastedown, label with ex libris of James Heyworth-Dunne (d.1974), stamped with inventory number, "Ex Libris | J.
