Notes
Ms. codex., Title from opening (p.3)., Incipit: “Praise be to God for the sufficient and abundant blessing and his pure, healing text... As for what follows, he says, hoping from his Lord for goodness and increase, Hussein bin Ahmad, known as Zayn Zadeh... When the book Al-Kafiyah was written by Sheikh Ibn Al-Hajib, God Almighty brought him to the highest ranks of the best of what was written in the science of parsing... until my mind came to my mind and came to my mind to write related words... so I answered his question. I wrote down what I hoped for and called it “The Healing Benefits” on the parsing of Al-Kafiya. Al-Intihad transferred this expression from blackness to whiteness, the poor servant Hussein bin Ahmad, known as Zain Zadeh... just before the afternoon of Saturday, the fifth of the days of Ramadan, scheduled in the course of the months of the year one hundred and thousand sixty-eight of the Hijra, of those who wore glory and honor... The book was completed with the help of God, the King, the Bestower, and praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, “God is sufficient for me and sufficient.”, Collation: i, 36 V(360), i; chiefly quinions; catchwords present; pagination in black ink, Hindu-Arabic numerals (begins with 1); pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization (includes inserts)., Layout: Written in 17 lines per page ; frame-ruled., Script: Naskh ; clear, well-formed Turkish hand; serifed with mainly right-sloping head serifs on virtually all vertical shafts, even free-standing alif ; slight effect of tilt to the left; open and closed counters., Decoration: Elegant headpiece (ʻunwān) in red and pink on incipit page (p.2) consisting of rectangular piece carrying the basmalah, surmounted by scalloped semi-circular piece (dome) filled with floral decoration and itself surmounted by vertical stalks (tīgh); keywords, section headings, abbreviations, and notabilia (side-heads) rubricated ; overlining and occasional textual dividers in the form of discs in red; written area surrounded by red rule-border., Support: European laid paper with 10 laid lines per cm.
