    • Physical description: Written in medium naskh in black on beige glazed, laid Arabic paper. Text framed in blue and red; headings in red. Illuminations in gold and color.
    • Origin: The paper quality, calligraphy, and measurements seem to correspond to the stipulations in the author's waqf (Blair, p. 14), which would indicated that this copy was produced in his scriptorium in Tabriz in the 14th century.
