This fine manuscript is a unique specimen by Muhammad, a royal scribe who was active in 'Alamgir's court and was bestowed the royal nisba of 'Alamgir Shahi. Ghulam Muhammad Haft Qalami in his Tazkereh-ye Khoshnevisan states that Mir Sayyid 'Ali Khan, who entered the court of Shah Jahan and was given the title Jawahir Qalam, was the calligraphy master of the young Aurangzeb, and eventually became the head of his library after he became king (Dihlavi, 1910, p.57). Aurangzeb was a great patron of the art of calligraphy and gathered many known Mughal and Persian calligraphers in his court.
