Bodl. ii. 177; Cat. Mus. Brit. 756.</p> <p>Clearly written, in a current hand. Dated, as it seems, A.H. 969. The colophon runs as follows:</p> <p>و كان الفراغ من كتاب هذه النسخة المباركة فى اليوم الاحدى المبارك ثامن عشر من شهر جمادى الاخرى عام تسع و خمسين ... ¹ و ستين و تسعمائة من الهجرة النبوية الخ.</p> <p>The words explained in the dictionary are repeated on the margin in red. Blue lines round the pages. Notes. Injured by insects.</p> <p>¹ This word is mutilated, it was و تسعمائة; this and the preceding word should evidently be cancelled, as a mere <em>lapsuscalami</em>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
