Ms. codex.
Title from beginning of text (fol. 2a).
It is not clear whether this is Barbarī's text or an edition of his text (see incipit). On Barbarī, see W. Ahlwardt, Verzeichnis der arabischen Handschriften, no. 4201.
17 long lines per page. Written in medium small naskh in black and magenta ink. European paper with watermark ("Andrea Galvani") ; frame-ruled. Fol. 43b-46b : blank. Foliation in pencil using Western numerals.
