Description:
C. Landberg ascribed the authorship tentatively to al-Zarkashī (presumably Muḥammad ibn Bahādur al-Zarkashī; Brockelmann, II, 91; S II, p. 108), whose name appears in an ex-libris, dated A.H. 804(?), on leaf 211 verso. But the date of the other ex-libris, A.H. 674, makes this chronologically impossible. and Leaves 125-134 misbound after leaf 44.
