Notes
Exquisite codex assembled from painted and lacquered board, which features the same realistic rose design on both covers. Spine is of plain leather. Both inside covers contain crude paintings of yellow flowers (daffodils?). Pages are bordered in gold paint. Chapter titles are written in red ink upon gilded designs, accompanied by colorful designs. Initial page with frontispiece with title is elaborately decorated with gold paint and colorful designs. Both the main Persian text and Arabic prayers are written in black ink in tawqi (or possibly thuluth) script; Persian translation of prayers is written in red ink in nastaʻlīq script directly beneath the prayers., This codex is undated, but the only stamp is dated 1311/1893-4. The cover design seems to have been done in the 19th century.
Sample Text
Prayers and pious observances for shiʻīs on ordinary and special days throughout the year according to the practice of the Imams. This book is largely divided into sections dealing with specific months of the year. The work is extracted from the author's large work, Bahār al-Anwār. The main body of the text is in Persian; the prayers themselves are in Arabic, with Persian translation.
