Notes:
2 consecutive bifolio. 2 columns (but the text should be read horizontally) ending with rhymes (first verse and second hemistich rhyme), 19 lines. The text is divided into fusul. The first line of each fasl is written in red ink. Red ink is also used to frame the text in handwritten (somewhat shaky) lines, for the catch-words and for vocalization, although some of the vowels were added in black ink. On the recto of the second folio a line which was omitted in the main text was written on the right margin. Marginal correction: A star (?) in the main text marks the place where it should be inserted. Maghribi hand-writing (the fa marked with a dot underneath, the qaf with a dot above). Maliki Fiqh in rhymes.
