Notes
Ms. codex., Title from 'title page' (p.1)., Incipit: "Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the Master of Messengers, our Master Muhammad, the illiterate Prophet, the Hashemi, Al-Abtahi Al-Zamzami, and upon his family and all his companions. The narrator, we find Ibn Hisham, said...", Explicit: "Tomorrow I will present to you a petition to the King, and the night has become my sitting, and tomorrow will come the rest of this speech, and you will listen, brothers... and I continue and greet the Master... “Adnan was born. The eleventh part of the biography of King Asad al-Fawares has ended, followed by the twelfth,” Collation: VII (14), 2 VIII (46), VII+1 (61); octonions and septenions (one anomalous); 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 (includes outermost leaves)., 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., Decoration: Transfer picture of a poppy-like flower with stems, leaves and buds on 'title page' (p.1)., 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.2, etc.)., Binding: Lacks cover (outermost leaf at opening carries 'title page') with traces of hinges ; numeral 11 (indicating volume number) inscribed on verso of back flyleaf (outermost leaf); somewhat crudely sewn in beige yarn or twine, mainly four stations; overall in fair condition despite lacking cover, with much staining, tears and losses to paper, etc., Former shelfmark: From verso of outermost leaf at opening (in this case, incipit page, p.2), "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, Island. 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., Fairly clean copy., Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 653 v.11
