Description:
|
A complete copy of Book Four of the Mas̲navī-i Ma‘navī (Spiritual Couplets) by Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī (1207–1273), the fourth of a six-volume set together with Persian MS 250, 251, 252, 254, and 255. While a scribe named Sirāj al-Dīn ibn Bāyāzīd Kūrahvī Rūdawlī completed other volumes in Calcutta, the scribe did not complete a colophon for this volume. However, the hand comports with that of ‘Abd al-Karīm ibn Muḥammad Ḥasan who completed Persian MS 251 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.
