B 182. Size 13 in. by 7^3/4 in.; foll. 563. Thirteen lines in a page.

A super-commentary on the preceding work, entitled التلویح الی کشف حقائق التنقیح, by SA’D AL-DÎN Mas’ûd b. ‘Omar TAFTÂZÂNÎ (d. A.H. 792). Cf. Ḥ. Kh. ii. 444; Flügel, Hdss. Wien, iii. 196; Aumer, Hdss. Münch. 102, etc. It is also contained in the aforesaid printed edition of the Tauḍîḥ.

A fine copy, written in a bold hand. It ends with the colophon of the original MS., which had been transcribed by the author for his son. This colophon runs as follows:

کتبت هذه النسخة تذکرة للشاب العزیز منی و انا العبد المذنب الغریب الموسوم بسعد التفتازانی غفر الله ذنوبه و ستر عیوبه و هو المحرّم المکرم صاحب المروة و الکرم علاء الم[لة] و الدین بلّغه الله اقصی ما یتمناه الخ

Revised. With various interlinear and marginal explanations. Gold and blue lines round the pages. The ornament of the first page has been cut out. Fol. 17 is much injured.

The leaves have been misplaced in binding. They should stand in the following order: foll. 1-18, 135-138, 178, 156-177, 139-145, 147,146, 148-155 (after which is a slight defect), 19-134, 205-256, 184-200, 202-204, 201, 179-183, 257-478, 480-483, 479, 484-563. Foll. 553 and 554 are not consecutive, notwithstanding that the catch-word would imply it. The defect, accordingly, existed already in the original MS.

Signature of the owner, Ḥaidar ‘Alî b. Rustam ‘Alî, at the end.
