Notes
Collection of miscellaneous Persian and Arabic works on Sufism and doctrine, comprised of various tractates assembled from different sources of different dates. Volume not dated; items h (datable to the late fifteenth century) and i (datable to the late seventeenth century) are exceptional in their antiquity, whereas the majority of materials belong to the early nineteenth century. Variable naskh and nastaʿlīq hands. Loose paper wrapper (ledger labelled Acquittance Roll for September 1839, Calcutta), watermarked (initials VEIC, E WISE, no date); torn and stained. Lacks binding. Stamped foliation. Folios detached and unbound; cropped, wormhole damage, later repairs. Condition, extremely fragile.
