Incipit: حمد لا يعدّ و ثناء بی حدّ اول خالق كائنات ورازق موجودات الخ

Ṣukūk (صکوك), that is, formulas for legal documents or models for legal deeds and civil contracts, with regard to the following seven points of Muslim law: 1. في النكاح (on wedding) on fol. 2a. 2. في العتاق (emancipation of slaves) on fol. 3a. 3. فی انواع نقل (different modes of bearing witness and testimony) on fol. 3b. 4. في الدية (expiation and atonement for crimes) on fol. 5b. 5. فی المبایعات والمعاملات (commercial negotiations, covenants, and engagements) on fol. 6b. 6. فی الوقف (pious legacies) on fol. 8b, last line. 7. فی العروض (memorials and addresses) on fol. 10b. The last heading is omitted here, but is easily supplied from fol. 23a, as, strange to say, the whole treatise is repeated in exactly the same order, but in a little enlarged form, from ff. 11a-25. The seven points or faṣls in this second copy are found: 1. on fol. 11b; 2. on fol. 13a; 3. on fol. 14a; 4. on fol. 16b; 5. on fol. 18a; 6. on fol. 21b; 7. on fol. 23. The title appears only at the beginning of the duplicate, the author's name only in the first copy, viz. ʿAlī bin Himmet bin Aydın bin Ḫalīl, on fol. 1b, ll. 12 and 13. Beginning: حمد لا يعدّ و ثناء بی حدّ اول خالق كائنات ورازق موجودات الخ. Many marginal glosses and explanatory notes. On fol. 51b a portion of the first faṣl is again repeated; and on ff. 528-59 there are added a series of other formulas of the same kind, both in Turkish and Arabic. Comp. on G. Flügel iii. p. 233 sq.; W. Pertsch, p. 82 sq., and Berlin Cat., p. 154; and Rieu, p. 16b.
