Wolpert (above) said the manuscript travelled great distances from Herat to Bukhara to Agra and Delhi in India, to Kalat-e Nadiri and Tehran in Iran, possibly to Istanbul or Paris, to New York and London and finally
to Kuwait. It was particularly valued
and treasured by many and has been cared for by The al-Sabah Collection and published for more people to appreciate it in the
future.
