Description:
A complete copy of Book Two of the Mas̲navī-i Ma‘navī (Spiritual Couplets) by Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī (1207–1273), the second of a six-volume set together with Persian MS 250, 252, 253, 254, and 255. While a scribe named Sirāj al-Dīn ibn Bāyāzīd Kūrahvī Rūdawlī completed other volumes in Calcutta, ‘Abd al-Karīm ibn Muḥammad Ḥasan completed this volume. Since the set bears dedications to Prince Muḥammad Mu‘aẓẓam Bahādur Shāh, son of the Mughal Emperor ‘Ālamgīr I, who later succeeded him as Shāh ‘Ālam Bahādur I (r. 1707–1712), it may be commissioned by him.
