Manuscript description
The title mistakenly ascribes the work to Ibn al-Shiḥna who procured the information about Timur's actions from trustworthy persons. Very few comments and notes in the margins. The copyist did not keep the visualizations of the chessboard and the Uyghur alphabet which are written in some of the copies of the work. Several Poetry verses (f.1 and f.2).
