Description:
An incomplete collection of quatrains (rubāʿīyāt), extracted from a larger anthology authored by a single, unnamed poet. Despite its enigmatic origins, the royal library of Awadh in Lucknow previously held the volume, as indicated by dated library notations on folio 3a, as well as four seal impressions of Kings Nāṣir al-Dīn Ḥaydar Shāh (r. 1827–1837), Muḥammad ‘Alī Shāh (r. 1837–1842), Amjad ‘Alī Shāh (r. 1842–1847), and Wājid ‘Alī Shāh (r. 1847–1856).
