chiefly quaternions ; a few gaps in the text on fol.349b (p.698) where rubrics appear to be lacking ; catchwords present ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals supplied during cataloguing., Layout: Written in roughly 27 lines per page (though varies where tables of contents, figures, diagrams, etc. appear) ; mainly large single column, often divided to four columns where poetry appears but varies to accommodate tables of contents and figures ; frame-ruled (impression of ruling board quite evident)., Script: Nastaʻlīq ; small, fine Persianate hand ; sans serif ; characteristic descent of words to baseline, superscript of final words/letters, letterforms, etc. ; tables of contents in the main work provided in an unpointed script (resembling siyāq / siyāqat), freely ligatured and with dramatic swooping tails., Decoration: Well-executed illuminated headpiece (ʻunwān) on fol.1b (p.2) consists of narrow rectangular piece with empty gold cartouche and flanking accents in gold, blue, red, and pink surmounted by tall scalloped semi-circular (dome) approaching w-shaped piece with intricate swirling floral vegetal pattern in black, blue, pink, red, green, yellow, orange, white, and gold on fields of blue and gold ; similar illuminated headpiece appears on fol.312b (p.624) ; on fol.314b (p.628) and fol.316b (p.632) small illuminated headpieces, mainly gold resembling elongated cartouche with flanking accent pieces in white, blue, pink, yellow and red ; on fol.339a (p.677) an illuminated headpiece consisting of narrow rectangular piece carrying the basmalah surmounted by a piece giving the effect of an inverted w-shaped piece with swirling floral vegetal pattern similar to that appearing in the first headpieces ; throughout, text is surrounded by a frame consisting of a heavy gold band outlined by black fillets, an inner gold band and an outer blue fillet and then at some distance a second frame consisting of a thin gold band outlined by black fillets ; various columns and other areas of the written area are delineated by a thin gold band outlined by black fillets ; on incipit and facing page, margin filled with a swirling floral vegetal pattern in black, gold, red, and green ; text rubricated with keywords, section headings, overlining, etc. in red ; decorative tables of contents appear in main work ; a few diagrams appear in main work and several in appended works, see for example diagrams in treatise on prosody (divided concentric circles fol.318b-320a/p.636-639 and tree-like forms fol.320b/p.640) and in historical work (figure of fol.352b/p.704 showing the planets through Saturn in their orbits around the sun and figure of fol.359b/p.718 showing the circle of the Earth divided to its inhabited and uninhabited quarters)., Support: European laid paper of at least two types [1] in opening quire, final quire, etc. vertical chain lines very evenly spaced at 25 mm. apart, any laid lines are too fine to be visible, dark cream, burnished ; watermarks include "PICARDO" with six petaled flower above, alternating with lion in scrollwork in other leaves (as in Heawood 3737, c.1825 Lisbon) and [2] in final folio, etc. chain lines vertical evenly spaced 29 mm. apart, laid lines horizontal spaced roughly 11 laid lines per cm., quite even and distinct, well-burnished, dark cream color ;

flyleaves in untinted (cream to dark cream) wove paper ; upper and lower covers bear simple tooled (with s-shaped stamp) and gold-painted outer border with inner rulings of gold-painted fillets ; sewn in pink-cream thread, two stations ; finely worked chevron endbands in yellow (soiled and faded to cream) and maroon ; in fair condition with some abrasion, staining, edge wear, gashes, etc. ; endbands in excellent condition ; cover still very well-attached to textblock despite the book's heft., Accompanying materials: a. envelope in blue wove paper printed in French, Ottoman Turkish, Greek and Armenian with the mark of a pharmacy in "مقری کوی" [Makrıköy, Istanbul] accompanied by inscription in ink, ruqʻah script with name, etc. "عزتلو اسمائل بك افندى ..." -- b. between fol.119-120 (p.238-239) a slip inscribed with names, etc. in black ink, Ottoman hand., Origin: Lacks dated colophon, but likely mid 19th century as suggested by paper. Opening matter on fol.2b (p.4) indicates that composition of main work was finished in 1207 [1792-1793]., Former owners' marks include "420 T. De M. [i.e. Tammaro De Marinis]" in pencil on verso of front flyleaf and "10 / 5" in black ink on fol.1a (p.1) ; a few glosses, notabilia and marginal corrections, though fairly clean copy., Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl.
