Manuscript description
The (wrong) title on the Library's catalog is “ʿIqd al-Jumān fī Tārīkh Ahl al-Zamān”. However, as Nobutaka Nakamachi argues in his paper “a Historiographical Analysis of the Four Chronicles Attributed to Badr al-Dīn al-ʿAynī”, it is actually a manuscript of his work “Tārīkh al-Badr”. The copying date is from Karatay's catalog which is definitely the wrong one. Effaced title on f.1b Kitāb Baʿḍ al-Anbiyāʾ. Extensive use of the margins which contain: correction notes, commentary notes. Every time Prophet Muḥammad is mentioned in the main text, the copyist writes “peace be upon him” in the margins. There is an invocation against bookworms on f.1a. The Catch-title is written on the edges of the work.
