Date	'at half past one in the afternoon on 7 Sha‘bān, 40th regnal year [of the Mughal Emperor ‘Ālamgīr]' (1108 AH, 1 Mar. 1697 CE)
Notes	A complete copy of Book Two of the Mas̲navī-i Ma‘navī (Spiritual Couplets) by Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī (1207–1273), the second of a six-volume set together with Persian MS 250, 252, 253, 254, and 255. While a scribe named Sirāj al-Dīn ibn Bāyāzīd Kūrahvī Rūdawlī completed other volumes in Calcutta (Kolkata) and Kabul, ‘Abd al-Karīm ibn Muḥammad Ḥasan completed this volume of the set in Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi). Since the set bears dedications to Prince Muḥammad Mu‘aẓẓam Bahādur Shāh, son of the Mughal Emperor ‘Ālamgīr I, who later succeeded his father as Shāh ‘Ālam Bahādur I (r. 1707–1712), he likely commissioned it.
