The main text in this manuscript is the Anwar-i Himkat of Ma’sum ‘Ali Shah Dakni, a Sufi work by a Ni’matullahi dervish who came to Shiraz from the Deccan during the reign of Karim Khan Zand. In the margins there is the Akhlaq-i Muhsini of Husayn Va'iz al-Kashifi and medical advice . A note at the end describes the work as "a compilation of medicine, including in addition the Anwar-i Hikmat and a qasida on the preservation of health.”
