Manuscript description
This manuscript has biographical entries of Sultans who reigned after the death of the author (e.g. Ṭūmān-Bāy II and Qānṣūh al-Ghawrī), then continues to narrate the history of the Ottomans (since its beginning), then the text moved to discuss the history of Egypt during the Ottoman's time till the year 1038 AH. Naskh script which is written by, at least, two different handwritings. Extensive use of the margins (including several Ottoman-Turkish notes) specially at the beginnig of the manuscript and on the part which is added to the original text. Many notes discusses the main text amd claims that there are factual mistakes in it. For instance, the comment on f.154b, discusses the main text which claims that the Sultan Selim's victory in the battle Marj Dabiq over the army of Tuman-Bay II was caused by the treason of Khayr Bek, and it says that this a stupid idea and that Khayr Bek declared his loyalty to the Sultan (Selim) only after the defeat. Furthermore, the text says on f.155b that People kept hearing the screams of Khayr Bek in his grave for days after his death, and there is a comment which says (this has no basis i.e. “lā aṣl lahu”). Papers are stained but still clearly legible. The folio f.2a contains very long Turkish text.
