Note:
Ms. composite codex. Collective title from text 1, fol. 2a. Ms. erroneously foliated beginning on the second leaf. Record follows erroneous foliation. Physical description: 23 lines per page; written in nastaʻliq in black on glazed, laid European paper. Text framed in gold and copper on fol. 1b-2a; remainder of text framed in red. Rubrication and catchwords; a few marginal notes. Damp staining around margins and edges ragged; some smudging. In fair condition. Origin: Text 2 originally completed 5 Rajab 1129 H [15 June 1717] according to VOHD and other Princeton copies; this copy's explicit is missing words by comparison. According to the colophon, this copy was completed 15 Rajab 1259 H [11 August 1843] (fol. 210a), but the paper appears older. A more likely date would be 15 Rajab 1159 H [3 August 1746]. Text 1 is also probably from the 18th century. On fol. 212a, three identical owner's stamps of Mustafa ... dated 1226 H [1811 or 12].
