Notes	Ms. codex. Title from colophon. Collation: ii, 4 I(8) ; catchwords present. Layout: Written mainly in 4 lines of verse and 8 lines of elucidation per page, with lines of verse flanking lines of elucidation (written on the diagonal). Script: Nastaʻlīq ; verses in a large, exquisite Indian style hand with elongation and somewhat exaggerated constrast in thickness between horizontal and vertical strokes ; elucidation in much smaller and compact hand. Decoration: Illuminated headpiece (ʻunwān / sarlawḥ) at opening consisting of rectangular piece with empty gold cartouche flanked by swirling arabesque in gold with floral motifs in orange-red and pink all on a light-blue ground, surmounted by a scalloped semi-circular piece (dome) filled with same manner of swirling arabesque and floral motifs (in gold, orange-red, pink) on a light-blue ground, itself surmounted by vertical stalks (tīgh) in gold with light-blue accents, and entire piece set in a heavy well of gold ; written area throughout surrounded by heavy frame in a series of narrow gold bands outlined by black fillets ; margin and panels within the written area also outlined in gold bands ; in the first few leaves (through fol.4a), elucidation in Persian surrounded by border evoking the design of the ʻunwān / sarlawḥ, a band of the same falls at the center of the written area ; written area (including outlined margin) gold-flecked to varying degrees. Support: European and non-European (likely Persian or Indian) laid paper, all highly sized and burnished ; bifolia appear to be composed of two leaves laminated together and mould markings are therefore difficult to examine in all but the second to last bifolium (which also carries a watermark, difficult to make out) ; some leaves tinted (green-blue / aquamarine and pale yellow ) with facing pages in the same color ; opening added bifolium (serving as flyleaves) in a paper with 8 laid lines per cm. (vertical, quite distinct) and no chain lines or watermarks visible), beige in color. Binding: Pasteboards (thin, semi-limp) faced in blue-green textile with dark red leather over spine and edges / turn-ins (textile faced, leather edged, framed binding) ; Type III binding (without flap) ; board linings in untinted laid paper ; sewn in red thread, two stations ; overall in fair condition with minor staining and abrasion, sewing failing, cover detached at spine, etc. Former shelfmark: "543 T. De M. [i.e. Tammaro De Marinis]" inscribed in pencil on upper board lining ; "111" inscribed in pencil on 'title page' (recto of leaf carrying incipit page). Origin: As appears in colophon at close, copy executed by al-Ḥājj Muḥammad Zakarīyā-yi Samarqandī. Date of transcription not specified ; paper, etc. may suggest 18th century. Shelfmark: Ann Arbor, University of Michigan, Special Collections Research Center, Isl. Ms. 442. Incipit: "لك الحمد يا ذا الجود والمجد والعلى تباركت تعطي من تشاء وتمنع ای صاحب جود مر ترا حمد و ثنا هستی تو بزرگوار با مجد و علا ..." Explicit: "وناجاك اخيار ببابك ركع يا رب ز توبر رسول صلوه سلام ... بر در كه تو ركوع آرند و قيام" Colophon: "Scribal," reads "تمت نسخۀ مناجات حضرت علي رضي الله تعالى عنه على يد اضعف الحقير العبد المذنب الحاج محمد زكرياى سمرقندى غفر له"
