Arabic script manuscripts on Humanities Commons 7 months, 1 week agoThank you @Muntazir786! Yes, I also wondered if it could read Muhammad, but the final consonant could read either dāl or rā. However, it also throws the title patterning off. Mahmud al-Dawlah? I’ve tried searching many combinations but come up with nothing so far in the Index to Titles (1798–1885) derived from the Alqābnāmah or any other sources.

Arabic script manuscripts on Humanities Commons 1 year, 4 months agoGreetings all, this insignia-like inscription dated 1187 AH appears on a number of Rylands volumes, but deciphering it all proves tricky. Any ideas?

Jake Benson started the topic Another enigmatic seal impression. in the discussion
Arabic script manuscripts on Humanities Commons 2 years, 4 months agoFrom Rylands Persian MS 942, fol. 1a, intaglio-carved in three stacked horizonal nasta‘līq lines , double-ruled,with the name of a former owner or associate, possibly Shihābī, bearing either a regnal or abbreviated year 20. 12 × 15 mm.
Perhaps, Shihābī read from bottom-up? Then Bī… [something] and sarī at top? Any comments greatly appreciated.
