Hand(s)

The text is written in naskh. Ff. 67b-68a are written by another hand; the paper, ink, pen nib, all change dramatically. Ff. 68b-69a appear to be taken from a different MS, being written on different paper, in a completely different hand (neat, tiny, naskh heavily influenced by nasta’liq). From f. 69b, the first hand returns to copy the text. Then the second hand completed ff. 82-105.

Additions:

Marginalia: The copy has been collated with the exemplar. The copyist has entered many corrections in the margins (frequently marked with صح).
