Description
A few words from a decree. There are multiple notes underneath in different hands. The one on the left says "let it be copied in the Dīwān al-Mufrad lil-Iqṭāʿāt al-Murtajiʿa in shāʾa llāh." Underneath, "It was copied, praise be to God alone." The one of the right has a similar layout; maybe similarly instructions to copy it, for a different dīwān, and confirmation that it was copied. Apparently Barqūq established Dīwān al-Mufrad in either 1382 or 1395 CE; see Daisuke Igarashi, "The Establishment and Development of al-Dīwān al-Mufrad: Its Background and Implications," Mamluk Studies Review 10 (2006), 117–40.
