Notes
Collection of works on Shaṭṭārī and esoteric Sufism, comprised of several heterogeneous fragments from separate sources. Volume not dated; datable to seventeenth century. Neat calligraphic and scribal nastaʿlīq, shikastah āmīz, and Persian naskh for Arabic sections by multiple hands. Annotations and corrections neatly transcribed and ruled in margins. Not foliated. Lacking original binding. Binding damaged (plain reddish brown leather over delaminating pasteboards revealing English text), labelled. Additional manila paper dust wrapper attached. Folios mostly bound, occasionally loose; cropped, wormholes, later repairs. Condition very fragile.
