This copy, which is dated the 13th of Sha’bân, A.H.1134 (A.D. 1722, May 29), and excels in rich marginal and interlinear glosses and annotation, some of which are of considerable length and value, contains, like No. 1444 (989 in this Cat.), twenty-one maḳâlas, that is to say, the usual twenty and an additional one, beginning in the last maḳâlah, on fol. 77b (corresponding to No. 1444, fol. 23b, l. 13), and reckoned as the twenty-first.

The wrong date of A.H. 559, 24th of Rabî’-alawwal, appears here on fol. 78b, ll. 6 and 7.

No. 1195, ff. 1-79, 2 coll., each ll. 15; clear and distinct Nasta’lîḳ; size, 85/8 in. by 41/2 in.
