There is a wrong title written in ink “Hādhā Kitāb Tārīkh Bawdar”. However, someone crossed over the wrong title and wrote the actual title in pencil. Clean copy- no correction notes. Modern index at the beginning of the manuscript. There is a brief index of the names of the sultans mentioned in this volume which is probably written by the copyist of the manuscript.
