The first treatise by Jamal al-Din al-Dawwani is not recordered in the comprehensive work by Boris A.Rosenfeld and Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Mathematicians, Astronomers, and other Scholars of Islamic Civilization and their Works (7th-19th Century), [Research Centre for Islamic History, Art and Culture], Istanbul, 2003. The work does however note that Jamal al-Din Muhammad ibn As'ad al-Dawwani al-Siddiqi (1423-1501) was from Dawwan near Qadharun and was a philosopher and scholar-encyclopaedist. He was also a judge and taught at a madrasa in Shiraz.

The second treatise is copied by Amrallah ibn Bayazid, who is unrecorded. The same work noted above however writes that the author of the treatise, Shams al-Din Muhammad ibn Mubarakshah Mirak al-Bukhari al-Harawi (d. ca.1340), was a Persian philosopher and astronomer. His Commentary on Substantional Propositions, copies of which are also in Budapest and Mashhad (5562), is a commentary on the work 'Propositions of Substantiation' (Ashkal al-Ta'sis) of Shams al-Din al-Samarkandi (second half of 13th century) who was the author of many works on philosophy, theology, logic, mathematics and astronomy.

There is an impression of an endowment seal which may be the shrine of Husayn by a certain Sayyid Muhammad and a date, possibly 994 (1585-6AD).
