The text was edited from an incomplete manuscript by E. Sachau (Leipzig, 1867). Many of the lacunae in this have been supplied from another manuscript by W.

Another work, written as a supplement to the _Durrat ul-Ghawwas_ of Hariri (q.v.), has been published as "Le Livre des locutions vicieuses," by H.
