Summary: Second of twenty-five volumes containing a collection of the epic tales of al-Malik Asad al-Fawāris ibn Jūdar [Jawdar], the fāris of ʻIrāq, in the manner of the Arabic heroic narrative (sīrah shaʻbīyah) apparently compiled in the present form by Muḥammad ibn Sulayman ʻArafāt (fl.1895) and Amīn ibn Muḥammad al-Sārī (fl.1895).
Note: Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 653 v.2
Origin: This volume lacks dated colophon. As appears in colophon of volume 25 (Isl. Ms. 653 v.25, pp.112-113) transcription of the entire set executed by Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥājj Sulaymān ʻArafāt with transcription completed 20 Dhū al-Ḥijjah 1312 [ca. 14 June 1895]. This volume was likely completed within months of that date. The colophon of vol. 25 also indicates that the work was authored by Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥājj Sulaymān ʻArafāt and Amīn ibn Muḥammad al-Sārī.

Binding: Lacks cover (outermost leaf carries 'title page') ; numeral ٢ (indicating volume number) inscribed on verso of final leaf ; somewhat crudely sewn in beige yarn or twine, eight and four stations ; overall in fair condition despite lacking cover, with much staining, tears and losses to paper, etc.
Support: European laid paper with roughly 9 laid lines per cm. (vertical), chain lines spaced 28-31 mm. apart (horizontal), and watermarks of three crescents (67-68 mm. long, perpendicular to chains, see p.16, etc.) and name "FF. PALAZZUOLI" (for "...AZZUOLI" see p.2, etc. and for "FF. PAL..." see p.110, etc.).
Decoration: Transfer picture of flower with stems and leaves on 'title page' (p.1).
Script: Ruqʻah ; virtually serifless with slight effect of tilt to the left and of words descending to baseline (occasionally more exaggerated), mainly closed counters, some elongation of horizontal strokes, point of final nūn often set deep within bowl, pointing (for two and three dots) varies from strokes or conjoined dots to distinct dots.
Layout: Written in 13 lines per page, occasionally divided to two columns to set off poetry.
Collation: VII-1 (13), 2 VII(41), V (51), V+1 (62) ; septenions (one anomalous) and quinions (one anomalous) ; final leaf left blank (serves as a 'flyleaf') ; pagination in black ink, Hindu-Arabic numerals, center of the upper margin ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization (skips two pages between pp.77-78).
