This illuminated copy of One hundred sayings, referred to as Miâat kalimah in Arabic and á¹¢ad kalimah in Persian and attributed to the fourth caliph of Islam, âAlÄ« ibn AbÄ« ṬÄlib (d. 40 AH / 661 CE), contains a Persian paraphrase (dubayt) by RashÄ«d al-DÄ«n Muḥammad al-BalkhÄ«, known as al-Vaá¹vÄá¹ (Waá¹wÄá¹) (d. ca. 578 AH / 1182 CE). The manuscript was completed in Iran sometime in the ninth century AH / fifteenth CE. The sayings of `Ali in Arabic are written in blue muḥaqqaq and gold thuluth scripts, and the Persian verses are written in black naskh scripts. The codex opens with an illuminated titlepiece inscribed in white tawqÄ« script (fol. 1b). The dark brown goatskin binding with central lobed medallion and pendants and doublures with filigree decoration may date to the ninth or tenth century AH / fifteenth or sixteenth CE.
