Evidence

"This non-illuminated manuscript has two red-framed panels containing large circles that appear after the colophon (fig. 193)."

Remarks

Observed in a 1327 copy of Rūmī’s Dīvān-i Kabīr (Milli Kütüphane, Ankara, Afyon Gedik Ahmet Paşa İl Halk Kütüphanesi 18233). These panels were presumably designed to be illuminated but remained unfinished (p. 158).
