Public Notes
Robinson's list of the contents of this ms. (1976, pp. 205-8) inadvertently omits a painting of the Akvan Div throwing Rustam into the sea.

The eight paintings added later, in India, are described separately, by R. Skelton (1976, pp. 263-4), attributed to the sub-Imperial Mughal style, probably from Kashmir.
