The manuscript is a compilation of epistelory discourses on aspects of Sufi practice and theology. Among the letters are those written in response to the Mughal princess and poet Zeb al-Nisaʾ. | Digitization for the Sufi Shrine Libraries of the Afghan-Pakistan Frontier collection was sponsored by the Modern Endangered Archives Program with funding from Arcadia. | public domain
