This manuscript is an illuminated and illustrated copy of the collection of poems (dīvān) by Shams al-Dīn Muḥammad Ḥāfiz al-Shīrāzī (fl. eighth century AH / fourteenth CE). The text was written in nastaʿlīq script in black ink on buff and rose-tinted laid paper in Shawwāl 958 AH / 1552 CE. The codex contains four illustrations (fols. 41a, 95b, 147a, and 179b). The dark brown goatskin binding with central medallion and pendants panel-stamped in relief is original to the manuscript.
