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.
Manuscript on parchment of Valerius Maximus, Factorum et dictorum memorabilium ad Tiberium cesarem.
Description:
Binding: 15th-16th centuries. Resewn on four tawed, slit straps laced through the edge of wooden boards and nailed in channels which are filled in with plaster. There is a piece of leather at the exit from one tunnel and what may be the tips of nails just inside the channel so earlier supports may have been of leather, nailed twice. The endbands, sewn on twisted leather cores laid in grooves, were tied down through a leather spine lining, the embroidery with three beads. The edges are gilt with a design scratched on them, the spine square. Covered in dark brown goatskin with corner tongues, blind-tooled with a star in a circle with wide rope interlace panels above and below, inside concentric outer borders. Small diamonds and dots on the spine. Four brass catches on the lower board and stubs of velvet straps nailed to the upper. One joint cracked and repaired and one endband added., On f. 3r, a good historiated initial, 7-line: the author in armor, holding his book; thick, curling foliage forms, pink, orange, blue, and green, on an irregular gold ground, edged in black.
