Notlar	About: Superb holograph of the third part of al-Maqrīzī's well-known work on the topography of Cairo and Egyptian history generally, representing the fair copy. Many "notecards" (also in al-Maqrīzī's hand) inserted. Detailed examination and description of this ms. provided by Noah Gardiner and Frédéric Bauden. \| Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 605 Origin: Manuscript lacks dated colophon; however, via F. Bauden's analysis it is possible to suggest a dating for the transcription between 818 and 831 [1415 and 1427] with replacements supplied in the 17th century (as paper for those sections suggests). The ms. plainly represents the author's fair copy (compare published editions and other ms. copies, e.g. MS Ayasofya 3480 which was plainly copied from this very ms.), which given analysis of its content, was likely begun in 819 (see fol.225a/p.449 where al-Maqrīzī states "والامر على ذلك مستمر الى وقتنا هذا وهو سنة تسع عشرة وثماني مائة" ; it is more likely that this refers to the date at the time the section was copied rather than to a date appearing in the draft being copied, which was certainly completed by 816 - see F. Bauden's currently proposed dating for the composition of the Khiṭaṭ in "Maqriziana II" in Mamlûk Studies Review XII, 2008 and "Maqriziana IX" in Mamlûk Studies Review XIV, 2010). Analysis of additions to the fair copy in the margins, at the end of a section or on the inserted slips ("notecards") provide dates that range from 820 to 828 [1424-1425]. Accompanying materials: a. Inventory cataloguing slip in hand of Winifred Smeaton Thomas. -- b. Acquisitions slip from Yahuda. Former shelfmark: From inner front cover and spine label, "IL 112" (likely supplied by Yahuda, see acquisitions slip). Binding: Pasteboards covered in tan to brown leather ; Type II binding (with flap) ; board linings in European paper ; interior and joints of foreedge flap reinforced in red leather ; upper and lower covers bear a blind-stamped mandorla with pendants (compare Déroche class. NSd 1) ; in poor condition; lower endband is entirely gone and upper is nearly gone ; all joints are split to varying degrees ; spine is split through the center along its length ; leather losses on spine have exposed lining ; lower cover is detaching ; numerous stains on covers ; due to fragile state, housed in box for protection ; would benefit greatly from a conservation effort. Support: mainly non-European (Egyptian?) laid paper with laid lines running vertically, 5-6 laidlines per cm. ; chainlines are very difficult to ascertain with any consistency, but in some cases one can discern a set of 3, spaced 9-10mm apart ; other papers also appear (not suprising given the chaotic nature of the gatherings) and thus it is not difficult to imagine that the ms. was assembled from the materials at hand ; all of the inserts ("notecards") appear to be on either the same paper as the main textblock or very similar paper, some tinted (see p.220-A, a small insert of 82 x 82 mm. tinted orange-red) ; several leaves supplied later on European papers, probably early 17th c. with various watermarks (in fol. 1, tres lune -- in fol. 58, crossbow with lever in a circle and cloverleaf, see Piccard 123860-123862 -- in fol. 64, anchor in circle with cloverleaf, very similar to Heawood no. 2 -- in fol. 261, crown with star with crescents, very similar to Heawood nos. 1131-1133) ; al-Maqrīzī often left large spaces and sometimes entire leaves blank, thus the hands of the later contributors sometimes appear on the original paper. Decoration: Illuminated titlepiece on fol.1a (p.1) [supplied later, roughly 17th century] consisting of central medallion in nine concentric circles (red, blue, black, and gold) with rectangular panels above and below, framed in a thick gold band outlined by black fillets ; upper panel carries the title in black ink "الربع الثالث من الخطط للعلامة المقريزي" ; incipit and facing page are framed in gold band outlined by black fillets ; remainder of text (and even inserts) is framed in rule border consisting of two red fillets, a portion of which was apparently supplied after the main text was transcribed and glossed (in many places, gaps have been left to accommodate marginalia, border of fol.180b/p.360 obviously drawn after slip inserted, etc.) ; section headings and keywords rubricated ; occasional overlining [mainly Hand M] in red. Script: Essentially three hands appear ; main hand is that of al-Maqrīzī [Hand M], a very distinctive hand the identification of which was confirmed by Frédéric Bauden (for samples, see Bauden's Maqriziana articles, as well as the notice of Dozy for the three volumes of al-Muqaffá), Naskh, sans serif, with mainly closed counters, distinct right-ward slant (more or less apparent throughout) and strong horizontal character (effect of elongation and flattening in comparison with other Mamlūk naskhs) ; idiosyncrasies include: rightward-pointing tails on final yāʼ and alif maqṣūrah which curl back under the word, "قال" with somewhat hook-shaped alif which curls up and over the qāf (supplying the otherwise absent pointing), and "هم" for which the letters are positioned nearly one above the other ; somewhat casually pointed and unvocalized ; appearing next often is the hand supplying the replacements at the opening and at various other places [Hand B, see fol.1a-2b (p.1-4), fol.58a-59b(p.115-118), etc.], Naskh, with lām-alif al-muḥaqqaqah, occasionally seeming to attempt a slight imitation of al-Maqrīzī's hand, but without success ; finally, the other replacement hand appearing at the close and various places [Hand C, see fol.95a-95b (p.189-190), fol.261a-262b (p.521-524), etc.], Naskh, quite readable, fully pointed and partially vowelled, with mainly closed counters and kāf mashkūlah preferred. Layout: Written in 27 lines per page ; single column with numerous large gaps, blank (ruled and un-ruled) pages, and sewn-in slips in the primary hand (i.e. of al-Maqrīzī) ; frame-ruled. Collation: i, V+3 (13), III (19), VII (303), 2 V (53), V-1 (62), 2 + [V-1] (73), IV+1 (82), 1+II (87), VII (101), III (107), IV (115), 1+II (120), 2+VI (134), IV (142), VI (154), V+1 (165), IV+1 (174), V (184), VI (196), II+3 (203), V (213), III (219), V+1 (230), III (236), 2+IV (246), V (256), II+2 (262) ; a chaotic set, likely assembled from the material at hand and supplemented by numerous inserts, each of which is numbered by the page preceding it plus '-A' (e.g. '220-A', see p.220/fol.110, p.296/148, p.318/159, p.354/177, p.360/180, p.384/192, p.442/221, p.462/231) ; several leaves left partially or entirely blank, as well as lacuna where date would appear on fol.4a (p.7) ; catchwords present ; run of foliation p.287-403, with اول written out at the beginning and the final number being 56 ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals (supplied during cataloguing).
