The text is written in Naskh script in black and red ink. The bequest (waqf) stamp of al-Wazir al-Shahid "Ali Pasha, dated 1130 AH, appears on fols. 1a, 1b, and 2a. The name of a former owner, Sayyid Burhan al-Din, and his seal dated 1039 AH is found on fol. 1a. The text begins with an illuminated incipit with headpiece (fol. 1b). The dark brown goatskin binding with central lobed medallion filled with floral scroll work and outlined in gold is contemporary with the manuscript.For the latest information about this object, illuminated manuscripts, visit art.thewalters.org. | Dynasty: | Inscriptions: | Reign: | Style: | more | less
