The colophon is found on f 209r, where the manuscript is described as having been completed on Monday 13 of Bābah 1521 Anno Martyrum (22 October 1804 CE). This appears to apply to the restored parts of the work, and the underlying original work is likely to have been completed in the 13th century CE.
