Sheila Blair notes this type of script she identifies as broken cursive was popular in eastern Iran during the 11th, 12th, and possibly early 13th centuries (Sheila S. Blair, Islamic Calligraphy, Edinburgh, 2008, p.197). Consistently with the small group of extent manuscripts of this type, these two folios would have been part of a thirty volume set. The script is closely comparable to that of the folio sold in these Rooms, 6 October 2009, lot 3.
