Recipe Details
Evidence
"Text (in nasta‘lġq) is written in black ink on buff paper."
Remarks
The text contains a poem likely based on verses by Abu Sa‘id b. Abi l-Khayr (d. 1049). The physical description notes that the calligraphy is executed in the nasta‘lġq style. The similarity to an exemplar dated AH 935 / AD 1529 suggests a 16th-century date and origin from the Transoxanian school (p. 41).
