Although the style of the script is not dissimilar to that associated with the famous Arghun al-Kamili, the signature here is probably added.
Argun al-Kamili is described as being one of the sittah, the six principle disciples of Yaqut al- Musta'simi. Described by some scholars as being Turkish and by others as Persian, he is most famous for mastering the rayhan and muhaqqaq script. In around 1300 he was taken or went to Baghdad where he is said to have died around 1352. His association with Baghdad is confirmed by an album page in the Topkapi Palace Library, Istanbul signed Arghun al-Baghdadi (MS.H.2130) (V. Minorsky, Calligraphers and Painters, A Treatise by Qadi Ahmad, son of Mir Munshi, Washington, 1959, pp.60-61). He is best known for copying Qur'ans, a bifolio of which was sold in these Rooms, 5 October 2010, lot 126.
