A slip of paper containing a short note covering a long note in the margin of f. 34r has been lifted and hinged to reveal the note below.

Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-4):

الحمد لله الذي حعلنا من المتفكرين في خلق الأرض والسموات وشرّفنا

بالنظر في هيئة الأجرام المبدعات فهدانا التفكر في المصنوعات والتدبّر في

أمر المدبّرات إلى وجود صانع قدير وحكيم خبير رتبته أعلى وأجل من رتب الممكنات

Ends (f. 192r, lines 13-18):

وجعل ما لقيت في توضيح هذا الكتاب من عرق الجبين وكدّ اليمين

تبصرة للمتفكان في ملكوت السموات والأرضين وتذكرة للمتأ

ملين في عجيب صنع ربّ العالمين وسيلةً لي يوم الدين وسببًا

لرضي أرحم الراحمين فإن الأعمال بالنيات وبها تجلب البركات

وينال الدرجات والحمد لمبدع الكل والصلوة على الهادي إلى أقوام

السبل والسلم على من أتبع الهدى ...
