Notes
Ms. codex., Title from opening matter (p.9)., Incipit: “Praise be to God, the Most Gracious, for His gracious blessings with the best and most perfect of His blessings upon the best of His prophets... And after that, the sublime tasks, the Sunni demands, and the righteous satisfactory goals, may the blessings and peace of God be upon the Muhammadan self... And the one who was sufficient in this regard was sufficient for the people of knowledge, who compiled the types of prayers upon the Lord of creation, and the manners mentioned in them, in the book Dala’il al-Khairat, attributed to the Qutb of his time and Farid. Its time is Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Suleiman Al-Jazouli... Some of the people of perfection asked me to explain it in detail... and I named it due to its history [?] Producer of blessings based on evidence of good deeds. The honorable sheikhs and what the Qur’an allowed for the Fatah to be opened.”, Colophon: “Scribal,” triangular, reads “The emptiness of editing this honorable copy occurred from the author of the copy that he composed. She rode in her hand [sic] in Islambul, in the school of Khoja Pasha. I began writing it [sic] in the month of Shaban, and it was easy for me to complete it in the month of Sawal, on the night of the eleventh of the fourth night, and I read it with the lesson in Hagia Sufi, all of it in the year Eighty-eight, one hundred thousand, and I am the poor person in need of the Most Gracious and Forgiving Lord, Mr. Nuh bin Al-Sayyid Muhammad Qurayyah, the land of Rum, Uqiyani, Daklini, Yazni, have mercy on him... The book was completed with the help of God, the King, the Giver.”, Collation: i, 10 V(100), V+1 (111), 11 V(221), IV+1 (230); chiefly quinions; final leaves left blank ; lacks proper catchwords but last word of final line on the verso of each leaf is usually repeated at the beginning of the first line on the following recto ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization (includes inserts and flyleaves and mistakenly skips two pages each between pp.213-214 and pp.333-334)., Layout: Written in 23 lines per page ; frame-ruled (impression of ruling board evident)., Script: Naskh ; Perhaps three clear Turkish and Persian hands; main text in a clear naskh, virtually serifless, with very slight effect of words descending to basline, slight effect of tilt to the left (or right), and partially vocalized; closing prayers appear to be supplied in a different hand; ijāzah supplied in still a different hand., Decoration: Keywords and text being commented upon rubricated (orange-red) through p.85, elsewhere overlined in red; some rubrics have been written over in black ink (see p.45); basmalah at opening (p.6) flanked by 'gold' accents to form a very simple illuminated headpiece ; written area of incipit and facing page surrounded by 'gold' frame (now to green, possibly verdigris), written area elsewhere surrounded by orange-red rule-border., Support: European laid paper in several types; Opening type with 11-12 laid lines per cm. (vertical), chain lines spaced 24-25 mm. apart (horizontal), and watermarks including grapes (raisin) with crown (see p.12, 17, etc.) and "...EN DAUPHANE..." (see p.10, 19, etc.), crisp, thin and translucent, dark cream in color; Another type with 10 laid lines per cm. (vertical), chain lines spaced 25 mm. apart (horizontal), and watermarks including grapes (see p.82) and "A LERISOV EN ROUERGUE ... MOYEN" (see p.74, 75, 77 etc.); Another type with 11 laid lines per cm. (vertical), chain lines spaced 24 mm. apart (horizontal), and crown with scrollwork [?] watermark (see p.94, 95, etc.) ; all well-burnished to glossy with burnisher's marks visible (in p.12 it looks as though surface size may have been caught up) ; some staining and tide lines., Binding: Pasteboards covered in bright yellow-tinted paper with black and brown leathers over spine and fore edge flap; Type II binding (with flap); board linings in untinted laid paper ; sewn in dark brown thread, two stations, many loose gatherings; overall in poor condition with much abrasion, pest damage, lifting and losses of paper, pasteboard, and leather (particularly fore edge flap), upper cover detaching, spine slant, fore edge flap far too small, etc., Former shelfmark: From inner front cover and spine label, "IL 364a" (likely supplied by Yahuda, see acquisitions slip)., Accompanying materials: a. Acquisitions slip from Yahuda (paginated pp.1-2)., Origin: As appears in colophon on pp.448-449, copied in Istanbul (Hoca Paşa school) by al-Sayyid Nūḥ ibn al-Sayyid Muḥammad Qūrīchāy (Nuh b. Mehmet Kuriçay). He began the transcription ("qad waqaʻa al-farāgh ʻan taḥrīr hādhihi al-nuskhah al-sharīfah... badaʼtu bi-kitābatihi [sic]...") in Shaʻbān and completed the transcription (as well as read the copy in the Ayasofya) 11 Shawwāl 1180 [ca. 12 March 1767]. As appears in the ijāzah (certificate of audition) on pp.454-455 dated 1 Muḥarram 1181 [ca. 30 May 1767]. (purchase) statement on front flyleaf (p.3) in name of Maḥmūd al-Ruwayʻī al-Iskandarānī reads “By the legitimate purchase of the weak slave, Hajj Mahmoud Al-Ruwai’i Al-Iskandarani, may God forgive him with his grace” ; on pp.454-455 certificate of audition (ijāzah) for the copyist authorized by ʻUmar ibn Muṣṭafá al-Arzanjānī, accompanied by his seal (octagonal), and dated 1 Muḥarram 1181 [ca. 30 May 1767] ; marginal glosses and corrections., Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl.
