- between 1550 and A.H. 1029 (1619)
- Description:
- Illustrated copy of the Sharafnāmah, the first part of the Iskandarnāmah of Niẓāmī, missing a few lines at the end. The text was probably taken from a more complete copy of the Khamsah, since the recto of the first leaf is the end of Haft Paykar. The text is copied onto thin paper that has been inset into a watermarked frame for each leaf. Some of the leaves are later replacements, though carefully done (f. 59-66).
