The later added notes on the first folio indicate that this manuscript was in the Deccan and belonged to Muhammad Sa'id known as Mir Kalan (unidentified) who gave it to Husayn ibn Mas'ud together with other manuscripts in AH 977/1569-70 AD with his seal impression. It later belonged to Ibrahim 'Adilshah II of Bijapur with his seal impression as Ibrahim Nawras AH 987-1035/1579-1626 AD.
