Description of manuscript content:

The text is about human character divination based on the stars and the days. It also contains the meaning of each day of the month in relation to adiences with the king. The text ends with finding solutions based on the Qur’an and the 28 hijaiyah characters.

Other notes:

The manuscript is incomplete as pages at the beginning, middle and end are missing. There is a hole in page one. The condition of the paper and the text on pages 21-61 is bad especially 29-32 and 45-60. The condition of the rest of the pages is reasonable. The binding is brittle and many pages have become loose. Changes in chapters are usually indicated by two slanting lines and sometimes by a note in the left or right margin.
