description: This fifteenth-century copy of an important textbook in Islamic law is intricately annotated with the notes of a legal expert (Arabic faqih) in Egypt who was using the book as a teaching tool. The notes are largely case studies and problems in law, written in a skillful and highly educated hand. Perhaps the writer was planning to consolidate these notes into a published commentary of his own, to educate future generations through the book.
