Notes

This folio of MS RSPA 87 has four seals. At the top (seals A and B) are two copies of the same seal with the legend, ʻAbd al-Ḥaqq murīd-i pādshāh-i ʻĀlamgīr sanah 36 (1692-93 CE) which translates to "ʻAbd al-Ḥaqq, disciple of the Emperor ʻĀlamgīr in the regnal year 36," meaning that this ʻAbd al-Ḥaqq owned this manuscript no earlier than 1692. In the accompanying ownership statement, ʻAbd al-Ḥaqq is noted to be the son of ʻAbd al-Wahhāb, a deceased judge. Seal C is a Qur'anic seal quoting verse 45 of surah 19 (Sūrat Maryam). The last seal (D) on this page is that of Ḥāfiẓ Masʻūd Khān dated 1153 AH (1740-41 CE). Alongside this seal, there is a note that states he bought the manuscript in 1162 AH (1748-49 CE). At the bottom is a final acquisition note from a man named Sayyid Muḥammad Anwar ibn Sayyid Muḥammad Ghawth, who apparently acquired the manuscript in Jumāda al-Awwal in the year 1196 AH (April-May 1782 CE). This was a year and a half years before the manuscript was acquired by William Jones.
