An ex-libris on leaf 211 verso is dated A.H. 674 (A.D. 1276). and Commentary on the Koran. Volume I, covering sūrahs I-III.
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.
