Notes
Collection of miscellaneous Arabic and Persian works on Naqshbandī Sufism. Volume not dated; individual items are dated (items c, d, e, f, g, h, and l), ranging from 9 Muḥarram 1196-8 Jumādá I 1197/25 December 1781-11 April 1783. Awkward naskh and nastaʿlīq hands ostensibly by the same scribe, Muḥammad Muʿaẓẓam Qādirī, at the behest of Miyān Khvājah Muḥammad Jān. Discontinuous stamped and pencil foliation follows in two series: additional 12 folios (item a: foliated 1-12) of second series placed before folio 1 of first series (items b-l). Lacks original binding; later leather boards with marbled doublures. Folios unbound; cropped, later repairs, stains, and wormholes. IOL microfilm 3956.
