Notes	with faint watermark (star and halfmoon)؛ Ivory-coloured stiff paper. ff. 21-24 are of sand-coloured thick paper with 19 lines per p. in regular neskhi, black ink; written area 15,4 x 9,4 cm; catchwords. ff. 78-85 are written in careless neskhi, with a touch of riq‘a, in black ink; 17 lines per p.; some children's drawings in brown ink. The story of this work in prose might possibly go back to the Jihānnāma, a Chaghatay romance in verse by Ḥaydar Mīrzā Dughlat (1499/1500-1551), the hero of which is prince Fīrūzshāh; cf. Ahmet-Zeki Validi (Togan), Ein türkisches Werk von Ḥaydar-Mirza Dughlat. In: Bulletin of the School of Oriental Studies 8/4 (1937), 985-989 and H. F. Hofman, Turkish Literature. A Bio-bibliographical Survey, sect. III, pt. I, vol. 3, pp. 168-170. The orthography of the various parts of the text is inconsistent. It seems that fragments of the text from different manuscripts were bound into one volume. A single leaf of the Fīrūzshāh story was found among the many fragments of the library: 21,2 x 15,3 (15,3 x 9,8) cm; fairly careful neskhi. It shows a well executed Tughra, dated 1187 (beg. 25 March 1773) and 25 Zīlq. 1196 (2 Nov. 1782).
Sample Text	(f. 1b, from unimpaired line 4):
Cilt	Modern cardboard cover and blue endpapers; the binding is partly repaired, partly loose
Yazı hakkında notlar	in amateurish neskhi
Durum	Beginning and end are missing, as well as other folia as an examination of the catchwords suggests; fragmentary old foliation up to f. 127. ff. 1-20, 25-77 are trimmed to the written area, sometimes impairing the text; many stains.
Mürekkep rengi	Grey ink
