Notes
Ms. codex., Title from opening on p.6., Incipit: “Praise be to God who raised the names of the scholars... And then the servant in need of his rich Lord, Abu Al-Praise Ahmad bin Muhammad, who resorted to His hidden kindness, says: The summary, marked with rules, by Imam Al-Hammam Ibn Hishan... When it was small in size, the arrow is great in Athar... Some of the brothers asked me on the way, and I concluded the clearing in the strait when reading it, provided that I explain it in a way that shows the divisions in the rules. Examples and evidence lift the veil from the faces of drugs... So I included them within that short contract to the point that it could almost be said that it is a book that does not need a singer, but rather heals the sick, and I called it “solving the complexities of grammar...”, Explicit: “And the compiler has done well... in linking the conclusion. If it is stuck in the Fatiha, the tracing will be correct, and in the sufficient conclusion with contemplation, contemplate. This is the last thing that is possible for us to say, praise be to God and from Him.”, Colophon: “Scribal,” triangular, reads: “The completion of writing these papers occurred through the power of the Most High Creator at the hands of... the son of Maulana Hussein bin Muhammad, who was in need of the mercy of the Creator of creation on the day of the covenant... in the year 972.”, Collation: i, 6V (60), V+1 (71), 1 (72), i; chiefly quinions; 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 flyleaves and insert following back flyleaf)., Layout: Written in 15-17 lines per page ; frame-ruled., Script: Naskh with influence of nastaʻlīq (talik) ; virtually serifless ; mainly closed counters; slight effect of words descending to baseline; elongation of horizontal strokes., Decoration: Keywords and notabilia (side-heads) rubricated ; textual dividers in the form of inverted commas; Overlining in red., Support: European laid paper with 8-9 laid lines per cm. (vertical) and chain lines spaced 28 mm. apart(horizontal); anchor in circle watermark (star above?); sturdy, thick and well-burnished., Binding: Limp covers in brown leather (goat?) with spine in tan leather; Type III binding (without flap); linings in laid paper ; sewn in pink [?] thread, two stations; Endbands worked in light blue and cream, headband entirely gone, tailband in fair condition; Overall in fair condition with some abrasion, water damage, etc. ; housed in envelope., Former shelfmark: British Museum, London "No. 81. Explanations of Arab an kawaid." ; "599" on tail of textblock., Accompanying materials: Slip with notes and exercises inserted after back flyleaf (paginated pp.149-150)., Origin: As appears in colophon on p.146, transcription finished 972 [1564 or 5].

Whoever changes it after he has heard it, his sin is only upon those who change it" in the name of Aḥmad Ḍiyāʼ al-Dīn ibn Muṣṭafá al-Khālidī (i.e. Ahmed Ziyâüddîn Gümüşhanevî, d. 1893 or 4); ownership statement on 'title page' (p.3) reads "From the books of the poor Abdullah bin Muhammad Saeed" ; oval seal impression in black ink on p.5 "Mr. Ahmed"; ownership statement below colophon on p.146 reads “His owner and owner is Othman bin Mustafa bin Barr Ahmed Deh Deh” (scribal verses in same hand) ; numerous marginal and interlinear glosses and corrections; notabilia (side-heads) appear throughout; kabīkaj invocation "ya kabīkaj" on 'title page' (p.3)., Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl.
