Sets of four dots occasionally appear throughout.; Binding: Damaged brown leather over thick pasteboard (Type III); repaired with printed material.; Origin: The item is undated, perhaps produced in the second half of the 18th century.; A quire of 8 leaves containing a title page, table of contents and the first part of the first homily of John Chrysostom is inserted at the beginning; likely misplaced from CAJS Rar Ms 176 which contains the rest of that text (with the missing beginning recopied on later paper in a different hand). The inserted leaves also contain the signature of the same owner, Ibrāhīm al-Rashīdī, next to the header for the first homily, where it appears in the rest of the homilies in CAJS Rar Ms 176.; Arabic.
