Copied in 3 Ṣafar 1218 AH (5 June 1802 CE), a prior owner acquired this manuscript and added it to an unrelated, uniform set of three volumes, <a target='_blank' class='externalLink uom-purple' href='https://www.digitalcollections.manchester.ac.uk/view/MS-PERSIAN-00151/'>Persian MS 151 (Vol. 2)</a>, <a target='_blank' class='externalLink uom-purple' href='https://www.digitalcollections.manchester.ac.uk/view/MS-PERSIAN-00152/'>152 (Vol. 3)</a>, and <a target='_blank' class='externalLink uom-purple' href='https://www.digitalcollections.manchester.ac.uk/view/MS-PERSIAN-00153/'>153 (Vol. 4)</a> to complete it.
