Evidence

"The double page frontispiece depicting Sulaymān and Bilqīs enthroned is followed by a very fine double page illumination in gold and other colours. This example was probably copied in the 16th or 17th century CE. The seal on the first page appears to be that of Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, Sultan of Golkunda, 1565-1612 with the date 1603/4 CE."

Remarks

The Shāhnāmah manuscript (Add.269) contains eleven full-page pictures and a frontispiece. Copied in the 16th or 17th century, likely in Golkunda given the Sultan's seal (p. 11).
