II, 1, p. 125). Table of contents in the preamble (fol. 3a-5b). This copy is illustrated with 180 miniatures (most of them small) and 11 diagrams. Several elements show that this copy is not of the highest quality (text crossed out, ʻunwān left blank or with title written in a rough manner, etc.). In addition, some miniatures are defective (see illustration of the Sun emerging behind the constellation of the Lion, fol. 16b). 500 Physical description: 20 lines to the page ; written in nastaʻlīq, in black ink with use of red. Cream paper, glossy, with laid lines and fiber visible. Margins of most leaves repaired. The text is framed within a medium large gold line outlined in black, with a blue outline on the outer edge (faded on several leaves). The miniatures are framed in one medium large gold line outline in black ; some miniatures go over the text frame (see e.g. fol. 9b, 87b, 193a, 236b). One small miniature on the margin (the deer on fol. 237b). Occasional lines of poetry and annotations written by another hand on the margins (see fol. 197b, 227b-228a). Dampness damage (stains, ink transfer from one page to the next), with loss of text. Modern foliation in pencil (blank after fol. 116, 179, 229). 500 Decoration: Illuminated title page executed in opaque watercolors, ink, and gilt (fol. 1a); margins of fol. 1b-2a decorated with flowers in gold. The same floral motif appears on the sides of the colophon (fol. 240a). 500 Decoration: Contains 165 miniatures in opaque watercolors and ink, representing planets (fol. 14b-18b), constellations such as Cassiopea (fol. 21b), inhabitants of exotic and fabulous islands, such as the inhabitants of Sumatra (fol. 56b) and of Wāqwāq (fol. 56b), fabulous animals, and monsters (see fol. 9b, 69b, 189b), Archangels (fol. 32b-34a), and various plants (fol. 107b on) and animals (fol. 196b on). Most miniatures are executed on a blue or gold sky, with Chinese clouds, with mountain or rocks behind which animals or human figures appear ; streams and trees are other common motifs. 500 Decoration: Contains diagrams in gold and red. 500 Origin: The copy (or the text?) is dated Ṣafar 895 [1489] or 865 [1460] and signed ʻAbd Allāh son of ʻAlī Bey Damāvandī in the colophon (fol. 240a). According to Moghadam, illustrations and binding probably from 18th century India. 561 Ownership statement after the colophon, in the name of Sayyid Ibrāhīm Ḥusayn ibn al-Sayyid al-Muẓaffar(?), with illegible seal. The same name appears in an ownership statement on fol. 240b, along with several others, some obliterated, one dated Rabīʻ al-Awwal 1238 [Nov.-Dec. 1822]. Small turquoise seal on the upper outer corner of the same leaf. Stamp with the inscription: "Douane centrale française Paris" on a label pasted on fol. 1a. 561 Several ownership statements, the oldest bearing the date 1168 H. 510 4 Moghadam, M. et al.
