According to the existing catalogues, there are only two copies left of this work, one in the Majlis Library of Iran, and one in Neẓāmiyah of Ḥaydar'ābād. The printed copy is also based on the manuscript held in Neẓāmiyah of Ḥaydar'ābād Dakan. Therefore, the current copy included, only three copies have survived from this work. The current copy is also important in respect of the author's name, which is recorded as Haybat Allāh ibn Azdah Mushīr ibn Janī ibn Jāmās, while it is listed as Haybat Allāh Zayd Baṣrī in the other two copies. As he has been working in the court of the Saljuqs, the second name does not seem to be reliably correct.
