The Shahnama from which these paintings come was with Octave Homberg in Paris. When published in 1931, the complete manuscript was still assembled, and had 85 miniatures within it, some signed by Muhammad Muqim and Muhammad Salim. It was catalogued as Bukhara, 1670. A related Khamsa of Nizami is in the Chester Beatty Museum (Per 276.205), copied on 15 Dhu'l Hijja AH 1081 / 25 April 1671 AD. That was stylistically very similar and also had paintings attributed to Muhammad Muqim.
