According to Puig the writer copied this text for his personal use, it may be assumed therefore that the scribe was a student of Averroes .
Characteristics of the writing: hamza is transformed to yā or alif (e.g. الكاينات, بيرا); furthermore we read هيول instead of هيولى.

Note: This item is called "al-juzʾ al-thānī"; its forth chapter has the title "al-maqālā al-rābīʿa". Colophon: F. 302v : Different from Ms. Madrid (árab. 5000): وهنا إنقضى القول في الجزء الثاني من هذا العلم وهي المقالة الرابعة من كتابنا هذا ، دالحمد لله وسلام على عباد الدين.
