Walters manuscript W.601 is an illuminated and illustrated Safavid copy of the Shahnamah (Book of kings) by Firdawsi (died 411 or 416 AH/AD 1020-1025), dated 1028 AH/AD 1618-1619. The text, which is incomplete, begins with the preface (dibachah), composed on the order of Baysunghur. It is written in black Nasta'liq script with chapter/section headings in red. The manuscript contains 14 illustrations that appear to be later additions and may have been executed in India or Iran. The black leather binding is modern.
