Notes
Ms. codex., Title from 'title page' (p.3)., Incipit: "الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على سيد المرسلين سيدنا محمد وعلى اله وصحبه اجمعين قال الراوي نجد ابن هشام راوي هذا الكلام ...", Explicit: "اقبل هدية من اتاك بفرحه يا من له بالجود باع اطول والليل امسا وصارت الليلة غلسى والحديث ليلة غدا وغدا تسمعون يا اخوان ما يأتي في بقية هذا الكلام واصلي واسلم على بدر التمام انتهى الجزء الثاني عشر من سيرة اسد الفوارس ويليه الثالث عشر", Collation: 3 VIII(48), VII+1 (63) ; three octonions and an anonmalous septenion ; final leaf left blank (serves as a 'flyleaf') ; pagination in black ink, Hindu-Arabic numerals, center of the upper margin ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization (mistakenly skips two pages between pp.93-94)., Layout: Written in 15 lines per page, occasionally divided to two columns to set off poetry., Script: Ruqʻah ; virtually serifless with slight effect of tilt to the left and of words descending to baseline (occasionally more exaggerated), mainly closed counters, some elongation of horizontal strokes, point of final nūn often set deep within bowl, pointing (for two and three dots) varies from strokes or conjoined dots to distinct dots., Support: European laid paper with 9-10 laid lines per cm. (vertical), chain lines spaced 23-26 mm. apart (horizontal), and watermark of three crescents (78 mm. long, perpendicular to chains) above 'FERDINANDO BETTI' itself above word in Arabic script (see p.12, etc.)., Binding: Fiber boards covered in a dull yellow paper with cream textile now over spine ; Type III binding (without flap) ; board linings in untinted wove paper ; numeral ١٢ (indicating volume number) inscribed on upper and lower covers ; somewhat crudely sewn in beige yarn or twine, mainly four stations ; overall in fair condition with abrasion, staining, losses of paper, etc., Former shelfmark: From interior of upper cover, "IL 163" (likely supplied by Yahuda, see acquisitions slip in volume 1, Isl. Ms. 653 v.1)., Accompanying materials: For acquisitions slip and inventory cataloguing slip, see volume 1 of the set, Isl. Ms. v.1., Origin: This volume lacks dated colophon. As appears in colophon of volume 25 (Isl. Ms. 653 v.25, pp.112-113) transcription of the entire set executed by Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥājj Sulaymān ʻArafāt with transcription completed 20 Dhū al-Ḥijjah 1312 [ca. 14 June 1895]. This volume was likely completed within months of that date. The colophon of vol. 25 also indicates that the work was authored by Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥājj Sulaymān ʻArafāt and Amīn ibn Muḥammad al-Sārī., Possible former shelfmark on spine "٩" ; fairly clean copy., Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 653 v.12
