Notes
Incomplete collection of miscellaneous works on Sufism, mostly by or attributed to Sayyid ʿAlī Hamadānī, known as Amīr Kabīr. Defective at beginning. Not dated. Written in fine naskh combining occasional taʿlīq flourishes, headings and quotations copied in red and rarely in blue, and with short invocations (basmalah), quotations, and headings in s̲uls̲ ashʿārī. Verses arranged in two columns. Intermittent polychrome jadval ruling and occasional illuminated headpieces (items g, m). Incomplete summary of contents added at beginning (f. 1r), with purchase note mentioning Khayr Allāh Shāh. Original text frames cut and remounted with new margins. Folios subsequently rebound in IOL red half leather binding, stamp dated 23 Feb 1915. Folios damaged by wormholes; net overlay throughout.
