Recipe Details
Evidence
"Beneath the title, written in red ink, several short excerpts and poetic distichs have been entered by owners of the manuscript."
Remarks
The red ink is specifically noted on the intermediate title-page of al-Suyūṭī’s al-Niqāya (folia 97–114) in MS München, cod. arab. 893 (p. 181). The manuscript was copied by ʿAlī Ḫaṭīb, a preacher in Damascus, and dated Raǧab 1150 (November 1737). The author observes that the red ink title serves as a base for later additions (excerpts and poetic distichs) entered by subsequent owners of the codex (p. 181).
