Notes
Ms. codex.
Title from inscription on 'title page' (p.1).
Collation: i, 6 II(24), i ; exclusively binions ; pages between sections (corresponding to gatherings) left blank, some serving as 'title pages' (see pp.8,9, 17, 25) ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, presumably supplied during digitization.
Layout: Written in 17-22 lines per page.
Script: Ruqʻah ; careful, compact hand in a medium to bold line ; serifless and freely ligatured with mainly closed counters, effect of inclination to the right and of words descending to baseline, pointing somewhat careless and in strokes rather than distinct dots.
Decoration: Text executed entirely in red ink apart from that on pp.25-31, 39.
Support: Machine laid and wove paper of a few types ; opening type (through p.8 and again pp.25-32) machine laid, lined, with watermark of "GOUVERNEMENT EGYPTIEN" with star and crescent at center and other smaller crescents with three stars (see pp.2, 4, etc. and compare Walz, "The Paper trade of Egypt and the Sudan," p.91) ; next type (pp.9-24, 33-40) also machine laid but unlined, no watermarks visible ; finally (p.41 to close) still another type, wove, unlined with same watermark of "GOUVERNEMENT EGYPTIEN" with star and crescent at center and other smaller crescents with three stars (see pp.42, 44, etc. and again compare Walz).
Former shelfmark: Mich. Isl. Ms. temp. no. 115.
Origin: Lacks dated scribal colophon ; likely copied in Egypt in the late 1930s and bound for James Heyworth-Dunne (d.1974).
Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 966.
Incipit: "الغراب كناية عن جسم الكل الغنى الملك التام والغنى للذات لا يكون الا للحق اما الغني من العباد فهو من استغنى بالحق ...الظل هو الوجود الاضا في الظاهر ... ذو العقل هو الذي يرى الخلق ظاهرا والحق باطنا ..."
Explicit: "الوقوف الصادق الوقوف مع مراد الحق الزمرد النقي"
Binding: Boards covered in black textured cloth ; pastedowns and flyleaves in wove paper printed with a geometric pattern (resembling a scale pattern) in dull gold ; cover gold-stamped with "الحكمة" ; sewn in white thread over two recessed cords ; overall in fairly good condition.
