Title (in Ottoman) from fol. 1b.
The copying was completed on the 7th of Ramaḍān 893 (1488) -- colophon (fol. 292a). Collation note on the margin of the same fol. partially missing due to paper damage: collation completed on the 3rd of Jumādá al-Ūlá [...]89, probably 989 (1581) by ... Muḥammad Shafīʻ.

Illuminated ʻunwān on fol. 1b made with gold leaf and blue, orange and yellow watercolors. Catchwords on the verso of each leaf. Some collation annotations in the margins throughout.
