Descriptive card

Persian tafsīr copied in the month of Šavvāl 936 H. At p. 1 is a sarlawḥ in Shirazī style, with blue and gold polylobate dome and cartouche repeating the title in white: تفسير مولانا حسين واعظ. The codex was part of the Typographia Medicea's collection and shows on the margins numeral references to an apograph, copied by Giovanni Battista Raimondi (BML, Or. 463, fols. 212-259). It was possibly brought to Paris from Florence by Barthelemy d'Herbelot in 1666 and then (1697?) acquired by Eusebe Renaudot. In 1720 the codex was bequeathed to the abbey St.-Germain-des-Prés.
