Notes
Ms. codex.
Title from 'title page' (p.3).
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 (includes outerleaves).
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 carnation with stems and leaves on 'title page' (p.3).
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, 6, 126, etc.).
Former shelfmark: From verso of opening leaf (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, 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.
Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 653 v.10.
Incipit: "الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على سيد المرسلين سيدنا محمد وعلى اله وصحبه اجمعين قال الراوي ثم ان الملك اسد الفوارس ..."
Explicit: "فكن من بطل اضحى صريعا على الرمال من ضرب يدي والليل امسى وصارت الليلة غلسى والحديث ليلة غدا وغدا تسمعون يا كرام ما يأتي في بقية هذا الكلام واصلي واسلم على سيد ولد عدنان انتهى الجزء العاشر من سير اسد الفوارس ويليه الحادي عشر"
Binding: Lacks cover, though spine carries traces of hinges in recycled paper (ms. 'waste') ; numeral ١٠ (indicating volume number) inscribed on outer leaves ; somewhat crudely sewn in beige yarn or twine, mainly four stations ; overall in fair condition despite lacking cover, with staining, some tears, etc.
