    • Incipit: يقول الفقير الى رحمة ربّه المستغفر من وزره وذنبه ... احمده حمد مومن موقن ... اما بعد فانّ جماعة من القرا المشتغلين بقصيدة الشيخ الامام ابى القسم الشاطبى ... قال الشيخ الامام العالم الحافظ المقىء ابو القسم بن فره الرعينى ثم الشاطلى رحمه الله بدأت بسم الله ... ومويلا يقال بدات الشيء وابداته اى احدثته
    • Explicit: وهى ذات حل فتامل ذلك والله اعلم وهذا آخر الجز الاول ويتلوه فى الجز الثانى سورة العمران ان شاء الله تعالى
    • Physical description: 25 lines per page. Written in medium small naskh in black ink with use of red for headings and commented text. Cream paper with laid and chain lines visible. Fiber visible on the surface. Fol. 1-2 are apparently later additions on the same paper, with several inscriptions on fol. 1a, including a Kabīkaj and a dāʼirah, and a table of the names and dates of readers of the Qurʼān, presented in Persian on fol. 1b-2a. Leaves apparently missing between fol. 19 and 20 (see catchword on fol. 19b and numbering of the quire on fol. 20a). The quires (mainly quinions) are numbered using Arabic numerals (starting with "4" on fol. 20a). Catchword on the verso of each leaf. Note in the same hand as the second title on fol. 3a quoting the entry on this text in Kashf al-ẓunūn. On fol. 195b: Short text on the six reasons of illness according to the physicians of Fars, Rūm and al-Hind. Modern foliation in pencil using Western numerals (omits the first fol.). Title on the tail of the text block: "Kitāb al-Farīdah fī sharḥ al-Qaṣīdah". Inscription in Arabic script on a label pasted on the upper cover: "Qirāʼāt 15".
    • Origin: Copy completed on Friday 8 Ṣafar 858 [Feb. 1454] (in Arabic numerals) by Yūnus Ibn Aqbughā al-muqriʼ al-Mālikī (colophon, fol. 192b).
