A colophon at the end of this manuscript records that it was copied by 'Ali Muhammad Shirazi for Mir Karam 'Ali Khan on 25th Rajab AH 1237/17th April 1822 AD. One of the illuminated sarlawhs also has the name al-Sultan Mir Karam 'Ali Khan in gold thuluth letters.
This manuscript was probably made for the Talpurs by a Persian artist. A possible identification for our scribe is the 'Ali Muhammad al-Shirazi mentioned in Bayani (ahval va asar-e khosh-nevisan, vol. II, no. 686, pp. 478-480). Among his other works in shikasteh ta'liq are an anthology of poetry and a copy of the Pir o Javan of Nasir Isfahani, both made for Husayn 'Ali Mirza in 1226 and in the Imperial Library, Tehran. Other surviving works by him include a Qur'an in nasta'liq in the Istanbul University Library, which is dated 1 Dhu'l-Hijja AH 1248 (21 April 1833 AD), as well as a muraqqa' containing pieces dated between 1255 and 1260 (1839-40 and 1844-45).
