    Summary note
    Treatise on the interpretation of dreams, in alphabetical order. The volume also contains a text entitled Bāb Masāʼil Mūsá ʻalayhi al-salām in the same hand, and a table of contents of the Taʻbīr al-manām in a later hand on later paper.
    Notes
    • Ms. codex.
    • Title from table of contents in a later hand (fol. 1b).
    • 25 long lines per page. Written in medium small naskh in black ink with use of red for the headings and overlinings. On some pages, the text is framed in a single red line (see fol. 16b-19a) or in three lines (red and black, see fol. 19b-20a; 97b-98b). Notes in the margin. The text of the table of contents (Fihris, fol. 1a-15a) is by a later hand. Inscription on the upper cover's doublure. The paper has been trimmed so that part of the marginalia is lost. Foliation in black ink using Arabic numerals on fol. 18-127 (starting with "3"). Foliation in pencil using Western numerals.
    • Collation: Paper; fol. i (endpaper) + 15 (dark cream European glazed paper) + 114 (glazed paper with laid lines visible; fol. 16 pasted on a stronger paper) + i (endpaper); catchwords. Due to the binding, the quires could not be established exactly.
    • The main text was copied in the middle of Dhū al-Ḥijjah 982 by Ṭāhir ibn Madīḥ(?) ibn Abī Bakr ibn Muḥammad ibn Jumʻah(?) [obliterated], born and living in al-Dayr (colophon of the Taʻbīr al-Manām, fol. 127a).
    • Incipit (Taʻbīr al-manām): بسم ... الحمد لله الذي جعل النوم راحة للاجساد ثم توفي انفسها عند حلول الرقاد
    • Explicit (Taʻbīr al-manām): الهراس رجل صَاحب صعب وَهديَان حرف الواو الوراقي رجل يعلم الناسَ الحيل لان الكتابَة حيلَة وَالله اعْلَمْ وَ لم اجد فيِ حرف الالف وَ اللام المركب شيا وَ لاَ فيِ اليَاء شيا الي اخر الكتاب تم
    • Incipit (Bāb Masāʼil Mūsá): بَابْ مسَايل مُوُسَي عَلَيْه السَّلَام قال موسي يا رب وَجهُك الكريم الي اي جهة مستقبل البر ام البحر ام المشرق ام المَغْرب
    • Explicit (Bāb Masāʼil Mūsá): عصمته منَ الشَّيطان يا موسيَ خذ مَا آتيتك وَ كن منَ الشاكرينَ تمت
