This manuscript is attributable to the patronage of the Timurid prince Ibrahim Sultan, who ruled Fars in southern Persia between 1414-1435, and subsequently belonged to his father Shah Rukh (r.1405-47) as evident from one of the seal impressions which names him. Our copy is believed to be the earliest surviving manuscript of this author's Diwan, together with that in the National Library of Cairo (Dar al-Kutub), which is dated AH 836/1432-33 AD. The third earliest recorded version is in the Malik National Library and Museum, Tehran, and is dated AH 842/1438-39 AD (see Munzavi, vol. 4, pp. 2211-4).

Folio 6r bears the date of the revision of the manuscript after the death of the author. Various later seal impressions indicate that this manuscript was in the possession of the Naqshabandi Sufis, also known as Khawajagan, who flourished in Transoxiana during the 17th and 18th Centuries.
