Physical Details:

Pages between sections within works left blank, some serving as 'title pages' (see pp.81, 135, 155, 187, 207, 227, 303, 343) ; pagination in lavender pencil and black ink, Hindu-Arabic numerals (through p.60) ; pagination in pencil, Western numerals, supplied during digitization.
Script:
Ruqʻah ; compact hand, initially carefully executed in a bold line, later much quicker in a finer line ; serifless and freely ligatured with slight effect of inclination toward the right, pointing somewhat careless and in strokes rather than distinct dots.
Binding:
Boards covered in dark green cloth with dark green leather over spine (quarter binding) ; pastedowns and flyleaves in wove paper printed with a floral vegetal pattern in green ; spine gold-stamped with title and decorative accents over raised bands "منطق هيجل | J.H.D." ; sewing difficult to examine ; stuck-on endbands (blue and white stripe) ; overall in fairly good condition.

Likely copied in Egypt in the late 1930s and bound for James Heyworth-Dunne (d.1974).
