Manuscript description
Chapter headings (i.e. changes in alphabetical order) are written in calligraphy. Correction notes throughout in several different hands, some in pencil. Topics of these notes include: identification of names in poetry (f.2b), references to relevant information found in other historical works with specific notes of where to find these works within the Dār al-kutub itself (81b), or notes stating that white lines were blank in the original manuscript from which it was copied (f.91b). The title page notes that the author's autobiography is found on pp. 68-72, and has a note adding info for something found on p. 554. From page 554 until 558 the manuscript also contains a table of contents.
- Ownership Statement
The title page contains a seal from Aḥmad Ṭaymūr, who bequeathed this manuscript to the library.
- Colophon
Colophon dated in 1339 AH says that the original manuscript which the copyist reproduced is located in Dār al-kutub al-Sultāniyya, presumably referring to a library (perhaps Topkapı?) in Istanbul.
