Summary note
Arabic commentary on the Gulistān of Saʻdī, completed at the end of Rabīʻ al-Ākhir 957 in Amāsīyah (see end of text, fol. 180b). In the introduction, the author states that he composed this work for the sultan Muṣtafá ibn Sulaymān (d. 960/1553).
Notes
Ms. codex.
Title from end of text (fol. 180b).
21 lines per page. Written in black ink with use of red in several scripts (fol. (1a)a-2b; 3a-147b and 171a-180b; 148a-170b). According to the colophon, this is the intent of the copyist ("katabahu ... bi-al-aqlām al-mukhtalifah"). However some parts of the text seem to be later (see fol. 1a-2b). Glazed European paper. Catchword on the verso of most leaves. Foliation in pencil using Western numerals (omits the first folio).
According to the colophon, this copy was written by Surūrī (the author?) and completed at the end of Dhū al-Qaʻdah 961 (colophon, fol. 180b).

Binding note
Paper pasted on brown leather over paper pasteboards for upper and lower covers and envelope flap. The fore-edge flap is too narrow to fit the text block.
