Video Orientation to the University of Pennsylvania Library's LJS 37, an incomplete abridgment in Arabic of Euclid's Elements (also described in this video orientation: https://youtu.be/cby6X1hbFW8), and LJS 460, an individual quire which used to be part of LJS 37. It was written in Fatimid Egypt, Iraq, or Syria, between A.H. Jumādá al-Ūlá and Ramaḍān 502 (Dec. 1108-April 1109), and it is unknown when the quire was removed. LJS 37 was purchased by Lawrence J. Schoenberg in 1995, and LJS 460 was purchased by him in 2003. Digital copies and a full record are available through Franklin.
