Abstract
Books IV to VII of Diophantus’ Arithmetica are found in a codex, apparently a unicum, which is described under the number 295 in the eighth volume of the catalogue of the manuscripts kept in the library attached to the shrine of Imam Rezā at Mashhad (cf. Gulchīn-i Macānī, Fihrist, pp. 235-36). This codex is said to have come to the Shrine Library as the result of an endowment (waqf) made in 1932 by a certain Mirza Reza Khan from Nā’īn (Mīrzā Ridā Ḫān Nā’īnī).1 The manuscript is protected by a cardboard cover bound with and reinforced on the corners by leather. In recent times its eighty reddish-brown leaves (175 x 130 mm) have been numbered as pages.2 On each of these—except for the title-page and the last page—figure twenty lines of text (128 x 92 mm).3
