It is wrongly ascribed here to Molla Ḳuṭb al-d&icirc;n (the author of the following work). The real author is not ascertained.</p> <p>The text and commentary are distinguished by قال and اقول , and the former is fully given in the earlier portion. There is no preface to this commentary. It begins</p> <p>&nbsp;قال مولانا الشيخ ملك الائمة العالم العلامة سراج الملة والدين منهاج الاسلام و المسلمين ابو الثناء محمود ابن ابي بكر الارموي طاب ثراه اللهم انا نحمدك ... ¹اقول الحمد هو الثناء الخ</p> <p>The earlier portion of this MS. is written in an inelegant small Nasta&rsquo;l&icirc;k, and the remainder (from fol. 58) in a neat Naskh, mostly without diacritical points. At the end we find the following date:</p> <p>تم الكتاب في رجب المرجب سنة ست و ثلثين و سبعمائة.</p> <p>B&icirc;j. Libr., A.H. 1059, from Mustafa Kh&acirc;n.
