1 copy of Qiṣṣah-'i Sanjān by Kayqubād, Bahman

ff. 1v-23v
Language(s): Persian

Qiṣṣah-i Sanjān, the traditional story of the settlement of the Parsis in India originally composed by Bahman ibn Kayqubād ibn Hurmuzyār Sanjānī at Nausari in AD 1600.

At the end of the manuscript the copyist's name is given as Rustam ibn Bahrām ibn Dārāb ibn Suhrāb ibn Mānak ibn Pishūtan called Sanjānah and dated Zamyad the month of Bahman 1107 AY equivalent to Jum II AH 1151 (1738). However as the paper of the manuscript is watermarked 1799, this must have been copied from an earlier manuscript.

European paper watermarked MB 1799 with crowned shield device.
