Notes:

Probably written in Morocco; the fatwa is written in Maghribi script with marginal notes by another hand; one treatise is written in Maghribi script by a different hand, and the other treatise is written in naskh script; the fatwa and treatises all have catchwords and have been collated against other versions of the texts.
The fatwa has a magic square in it; one of the treatises is written in blue and red ink in addition to black; the qaṣīdah leaf has decorative elements in red.
