Notes
Miscellaneous collection of works on Sufism, correspondence, and anecdotes on moral conduct, comprised of five heterogeneous items from at least two separate sources. Volume not dated; item a dated (17 Z̲ī Ḥijjah 1088/10 February 1678) separately; items b-e share similar origins, paper and scribal hand, datable to late seventeenth century. Neat scribal nastaʿlīq to nastaʿlīq tending toward shikastah āmīz, by multiple hands. Limited annotations in margins. Stamped and Persian foliation. Lacking original binding. Binding damaged (light blue exterior pasteboards with brown leather corners), labelled. Folios mostly unbound, occasionally disordered with lacunae; cropped, wormholes, later repairs. Condition very fragile.
