Notes
A complete copy of Book Three of the Mas̲navī-i Ma‘navī (Spiritual Couplets) by Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī (1207–1273), the third in of a six-volume set together with Persian MS 250, 251, 253, 254, and 255. 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. A scribe named Sirāj al-Dīn Kūrahvī mainly completed the set, including this volume in Calcutta, while another man named ‘Abd al-Karīm ibn Muḥammad Ḥasan also completed at least one other volume in the set Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi).
