"وكتب نسخة من القاموس ، وهي في غاية الحسن والإتقان والضبط ، وله شعر عذب يغوص فيه على غرائب المعاني"

Remarks

The text describes the scribal work of Muḥammad b. Riḍwan al-Suyūṭī (d. 1179 AH/1765 AD), specifically his copy of the Qāmūs dictionary (p. 430). The reference to the 'utmost quality' (ghāyat al-jawda) of his handwriting implies the use of professionally prepared carbon-based ink (midad) suitable for high-precision calligraphic tasks. The script is noted for being 'accurate and mastered' (al-itqān wa-al-ḍabṭ).
