al-Kawākib al-durrīyah fī madḥ khayr al-barīyah,[783, i.e. 1381].الكواكب الدرية في مدح خير البرية,[783ه, 1381م]., whole page

Calligraphic specimen, 783, i.e. 1381].[نموذج من فن الخط العربي, 783ه, 1381م].This is actually the complete text of the Burda by al-Busairy. The Kufic title reads:
الكواكب الدرية  في مدح خير البرية سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم
I suggest changing the title of this MS to reflect its content.
