Rieu's Persian Catalogue, pp. 86-87, 885, and 1079. Ff. 550 of 27 x 17 c. and 21 ll., written in legible ta'liq with rubrications,
incomplete at both beginning and end and lacking colophon and date. The first half of the work is historical, the second biographical.

The Tubba's of Yaman (ff. 61-70"). The Prophet Muhammad and the Imáms and Orthodox Caliphs (ff. 70-170)
The Umayyad Caliphs (f. 170-198). The 'Abbasid Caliphs (ff. 199-231'). The Post-Muḥammadan Dynasties of Persia, etc. (ff. 231-306"). The Mongols (fr 306-347) The Kings of Dihli (f. 347-396). The Poets, Arabian and Persian (ff. 396-421). The particulars concerning the
Persian poets are largely derived from the Chahár Maqála of Nizámí-i-'Arúdí-i-
Samarqandi. The Companions (f. 421") and Followers (f. 439"). Pious and Learned Men (f. 454). Notable Women (f. 527). Notable Ministers (f. 530)
