Original Recipe Text
The manuscript, completed in Shawwāl 1162 / Sept-Oct 1749, displays 'strong bihari features' (p. 26).
Evidence
"The horizontal elements, such as the forms of the final bā and dāl, are thicker than the later Harari manuscript of 1767."
Remarks
Although previously attributed broadly to East Africa, Mirza uses calligraphic comparison of the ink strokes (particularly sublinear tails and thick horizontal extensions) to link it specifically to Harar production (p. 26).
