Some leaves have been repaired at edges. In excellent condition. Decoration: Text framed in silver, red, gold, black and orange; columns separated by gold bands containing floral pattern.

Title page, following page and first page of text are elaborately illuminated. 51 miniatures by an artist of the Shīrāz school illustrate famous events of the epic. Six of these appear on opposing pages at the beginning, in the middle (222b-223a) and the end. The margins are illuminated with gilt floral and animal motifs. Origin: Copied by Qiwām ibn Muḥammad Shīrāzī in 998 H [1589 or 90] (fol. 474a); likely produced in Shīrāz. Inscription of ownership on f. 475b of Khayrāt Khan, envoy from ʻAbd Allāh Quṭbshāh to Iṣfahān, who purchased the ms. from the daughter of Khān Aḥmad Khān of Gīlān and widow of Shāh ʻAbbās in Rajab 1040H (February 1631). The ms. was later owned by Sir George Holford, equerry to George V, and likely purchased by A.S.W. Rosenbach in 1925. The ms. was subsequently sold to Clara Peck by Rosenbach in 1946 (Marlow, 214).
