Notes
Miscellaneous collection of works on Sufism, logic, physiognomy, medicine, and sexology, comprised of eleven items from at least two separate sources. Volume not dated; comprised of two separate collections or volumes of works united at a later date in the present codex (items a-k and separately item l); items a-k and separately item l (foliated in Persian) are of the same paper type and combination of archaic scribal hands, datable to the mid to late sixteenth century. Sultanate-style scribal naskh occasionally including early hybrid forms of scribal nastaʿlīq. Extensive annotations interlineal and marginal in parts, occasionally arranged into designs. Stamped and Persian (item l only) foliation. Lacking original binding. Rebound in IOL red half leather covers, stamped 28 Jun 1916. Folios rebound and remounted with new gutters; net overlay throughout; wormholes, later repairs, margins severely cropped. Condition fragile. Ownership marks at beginning.
