Descriptive card

The description refers to a codicological unit included in a composite codex containing similar material. This is a Persian - Arabic (in red) - Italian Lexicon extrapolated from ms BML, Or. 463, fols. 212r-259v. The numbers added to each lemma of this lexicon refer to page and line numbers of BML, Or. 463. A similar Lexicon referring to a different part of the original source is preserved in ms BNCF, II.III.11, fols. 1-115. Many folios are left blank to be compiled with other lemmata.
