Public Notes
According to the catalogue by Cig, p. 80, this is an illuminated page with two columns of text with the opening of the Shahnama.

This indicates that there is a folio missing immediately before this, to be supplied by the folio in the Keir Collection, III.128, which contains the left side of a double frontispiece on the recto and the start of the poem on the verso.
