Neither Sayf al-Sultan nor the scribe Mirza Husayn al-Husayni have been identified. The text is an anthology of 1001 bayt of Sana'i's Hadiqa al-haqiqa.

Rieu, Supplement to the Catalogue of the Persian Manuscripts in the British Museum, London 1977, pp. 146–147, no. 215. Another abridged copy entitled Intikhab-i Hadiqa or Muntakhab-i Hadiqa, and with the same opening and concluding verses as this copy, is in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris. See F.
