    Summary note
    Commentary on Majmaʻ al-Baḥrayn by Ibn al-Sāʻātī (d. 696/1296), a compendium on Ḥanafī law, based on the Mukhtaṣar by al-Qudūrī (d. 428/1037) and the Manẓūmah by al-Nasafī (d. 537/1142). The text is followed on fol. 325b-326b by several short excerpts from various texts, apparently by the same hand as the main text.

    • Title from colophon (fol. 325a).
    • Incipit: يا من لا يحوط كماله كماله نطاق وصف الفصحاء ولا ينوط بادراك ادراكه افكار فحول الفضلاء نحمدك ... وبعد فيقول العبد الضعيف ... عبد اللطيف بن عبد العزيز بن امين الدين ختم الله بالخير عمله ... انّ بعض اخوانى وخلّص خلانى فى اثناء الصحبة من البين قالوا ان مجمع البحرين كتاب بديع ... الحمد لله ابتداء المصنف فى اول تصنيفه بالتحميد اقتداء بكتاب الله تعالى الحميد
    • Explicit: واجازها محمد حملا لكلامه الى الصرف الى مصالحه تصحيحا له هذا اخر الكلام الحمد لله على التمام ولرسوله افضل السلام
    • Physical description: 29 lines per page. Written in square naskh?, in black ink with red for the commented text. The text is framed within two red lines on the last page (fol. 324b). Light cream paper, glossy, with laid lines and fibers visible ; frame-ruled. Some leaves apparently later replacements. Table of contents in red ink on fol. 1a. Kabīkaj on fol. 1a.
