The informal marginal drawings, such as the face of a mustached man and a figure on a noose, neither of which appears to relate directly to the text, were likely added by anonymous later readers rather than the original scribe. For scholars, these seemingly unacademic additions are important because they document how the manuscript was handled, personalized, and emotionally engaged with over time, offering rare insight into the everyday human interactions that shaped the afterlife of Persian literary works beyond their original production. Such marginalia are often interpreted as evidence of reader response, moments of contemplation, boredom, or emotional reaction, and they complicate the idea of manuscripts as fixed or purely authoritative objects. When manuscripts enter libraries or museum collections, these marks become part of the material record, allowing historians to reconstruct patterns of ownership, use, and interpretation that are otherwise absent from formal colophons or textual commentary. In this way, non-textual annotations and drawings contribute to a broader understanding of manuscript culture as a dynamic process in which meaning was continually negotiated by successive readers across time and place.
