Descriptive card

It is a copy of the Italian version of the Muṣāḥaba rūḥāniyya, or Spiritual conversations, containing only the first dialogue of the three contained in the Arabic printed edition. The copy shows a few corrections on the margins by a different hand. The name of one of the protagonists of the dialogue is always written as Sinam instead of Sinan so excluding a direct translation from the printed version of the Arabic work. The copy is included in a composite codex, a folder containing different texts and documents related to Venice.
