sections of this and several other manuscripts from former Yugoslavia were copied on a single microfilm now under the shelfmark Tehran, Kitābkhāna-yi markazi-i Dānishgāh-i Tehrān, Film 2173. It was brougth to Iran by Dejan Bogdanovic (Dānishpazhūh, who calls him ‘Jan’), a Serbian-born French Orientalist who earned his PhD from Tehran University in 1964 with a thesis on Persian literature in 16^th-century Yugoslavia (Bogdanovic & Brigaudiot). Bogdanovic most likely had the manuscripts photographed in Zagreb (“Dejan Bogdanović [...] Belgrade” and “Centre for scientific and technical documentation and production of the People’s Republic of Croatia” in Croatian on the first page of the microfilm). The Ptolemaic manuscript itself could not be identified.
