Notes
These six leaves, Walters W.676, come from a historical Timurid work entitled Majma' al-tavarikh (Collection of chronicles) by Hafiz-i Abru (died 833 AH/AD 1430), that was copied and illustrated around 829 AH/AD 1425. Two known Timurid illustrated copies of Majma' al-tavarikh from the 9th century AH/AD 15th are the dispersed manuscript previously in the collection of Emile Tabbagh and Parish Watson (ca. 829 AH/AD 1425) and a copy dated 829 AH/AD 1425 (Istanbul, H.1653). The Walters' leaves come from the former. The text is written in Naskh script in black, red, and reddish-brown ink; chapter headings are written in Tawqi' script in red ink.
