Vols. 2-4,6-15,20,21,26-29 of 30. Binding: 21.5 x 17.5 x 1,5 cm. Surface: 21.5 x 15 cm. Paper with Watermarks. Textblock: 13.5 x 9 cm. 7 lines per page. Inscription: Fol. 001r: Endowment; taḥbīs 15; Royal Endowment. 19 volumes, all comparable to the first; endowment certificate in the first volume most comprehensible. Some vols with original binding (2.3.4.7.10.12.14). The shelfmark does not always correspond to volume number resp. Guz' number, because the booklets have been bound in 'wrong' covers during restoration. Eg.: Ex-Vind Corano 1.12 is Flügel XIII is bound in cover 'Guz' 9'.
