專家說明

According to the introduction, this work was compiled for Muhammad ['Ali] Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt (1769-1849).

Another copy of the work is in the Leeds University Library. Although that copy is not dated, in the relevant entry in the Catalogue of Oriental Manuscripts, John Macdonald makes a reference to verses composed by al-Jindi in AH 1290/1873 AD. This suggests that ours is a relatively early copy (https://www.microform.co.uk/guides/TempView/v40Arabic0Mss0151-200 .pdf).
