Notes
Fine copy of a miscellaneous collection of works on Sufism and the Prophet Muḥammad , transcribed by Sayyid Muḥammad Nuʿmān Ḥasanī , a student and associate of the famous muḥaddis̲ of Dihlī , Shāh Valī Allāh (d. 1175/1762), according to items j and k. Volume not dated; item h dated (1157/1744-5), suggesting the volume was probably created in Delhi. Neat scribal naskh anticipating the style of Aḥmad Nayrīzī , mostly by the same scribe; Arabic quotations overlined in red ink, and occasional annotations in nastaʿlīq. Extensive annotations. Not foliated. Lacking original covers. Damaged and detached boards of different styles and origins: 1) tooled brown leather (injured by wormholes), 2) brown marbled paper over paste board Additional internal paper dust wrapper (list names of religious scholars under the dates November 1826-February 1830); torn and stained. Folios unbound; water stains, wormholes, later repairs. Condition fragile.
