Notes
Ms. codex., Title from 'title page' (p.7) and opening matter (preface) on p.9., Incipit: "Praise be to God who wove in eternity the pattern of advice by abstaining from mentioning songs and ghazal... And after that, the pink poem Al-Lami composed from the sea of sand and its meter, Fa'alaat'an, Fa'ala'atan, Fa'ala' three times, called Advice to the Brothers and Guide to Khalan... I was one of those who read it many times, and every time it showed me great benefits from it, and I tried it myself this time after... This time I should write on it what is comforting to the eyes... and I began a nice explanation that solved its words... and I called it the dewy custom in the poem of Ibn al-Wardi... May God Almighty have mercy on him and be pleased with him. I finished it on the blessed Friday, the fifth of the month of Rabi’ al-Thani in the year one thousand and thirty of the Prophet’s Hijrah.
