拍品專文

Muhammad ibn Muhammad Baqqal was a 15th century nasta'liq scribe whose recorded works, in the Topkapi and the Chester Beatty Library, are dated between AH 868 (1463-64 AD) and AH 885 (1480-81 AD). These include two copies of the Shahnama of Firdawsi.

The present manuscript belonged to Sultan Beyazid II (AH 886-918/1481-1512 AD), as indicated by his seal impression left on the opening page of the manuscript. Beyazid II, like Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror was an avid collector of manuscripts, particuarly Persian literary works.
