Brockelmann gives the author's honorary title as Muḥyī al-Dīn (S I, p. 844); the manuscript gives it as Quṭb al-Dīn., Cairo catalog, VII, 682 does not give the incipit for the Kitāb al-daraj. Nor in Ḥājjī Khalīfah., Calligraphic naskhī, in red and black, generously vocalized., Islamic binding, in red, with flap., Presumably not the same as the author's Kitāb al-daraj (Brockelmann, I, 466)., The manuscript vocalized "darj" for "daraj" in the beginning of the work, but has "daraj" on leaf 131 recto., and Title page in gold and colors.
