Notes
Ms. codex., Title from rubricated heading at opening on p.2., Incipit: “Praise be to God, whose greatness has made the worship of the worshipers insignificant and limited to gratitude for the blessing of the praiseworthy Sunnah... Now that I am providing you with this summary, the summary of the considered doctrine with inked words and liberating phrases [phrases] that will envelop you with His elite and lead you to His people, restricting themselves to what has been shown to me as a path, and explaining to me its evidence...”, Explicit: “And it specializes.” It is guaranteed by committing a crime against a human being according to this. This is what we wanted to mention, and we intended to summarize it briefly and at length, editing the summary. We ask God to make us among those who thanked his deeds, forgave his transgressions, and made Paradise his entrance [quoted]. He does not disappoint anyone who asks him, nor is he deprived of his hope. Aznawi, may God forgive them and the believing men, male and female, Muslim men and women, with His benevolence and generosity on Saturday, Thursday, the month of Jumada al-Thani, in the year one thousand and fifty-three of the Prophet’s al-Mustafi migration. chiefly quaternions; catchwords present; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization., Layout: Written in 14 lines per page ; frame-ruled., Script: Naskh ; spacious, elegant Persianate hand in a thin line; Mainly serifless (though left-sloping head-serif occasionally appears) with elongation of horizontal strokes, fairly vertical ascenders, curvilinear descenders, adhering to baseline, freely ligatured, pointing in distinct or conjoined dots, final yāʼ unpointed, wide, open bowl of final nūn with point set down in, spacious open counters of ṭāʼ, ṣāḍ, etc. ; replacement leaves at opening in a large, bold naskh, seriffed (though somewhat irreguarly) with left-sloping head-serifs on most ascenders (even occasional free-standing alif), quite rounded with curvilinear descenders (some sweeping), freely ligatured., Decoration: Headings and keywords rubricated (text to be entered in red provided in margins, occasionally visible and otherwise cut off) ; textual dividers in the form of hāʼ or numeral khamsah in red., Support: non-European (likely Persian or Indian) laid paper with 6-7 laid lines per cm.
