Public Notes
Described in the catalogue by Muhmmad Ashraf, vol. IV, pp. 13-15.

There is no colophon on the final page (665 = f. 332r).

Project Notes
BS notes this as "Khulasa-yi Shahnama", so it may not be the Shamshirkhani version.

NB also mentioned by LW in email 26 Oct. 2008: still to follow up.

Seen in haste by ChM and FA in January 2012 - allowed only 7 images. Complete details from catalogue and own notes - worth studying in more detail. 18 paintings recorded: check v. catalogue for one missing? Yes - fire ordeal of Siyavush.
