Salih b., the brother of Koca Nişancı Celâl-zade Mustafa. This work, which was dedicated to Suleiman the Magnificent by Celaladdin in 953 (1547), was created by collecting from Makrizi, Ebu'l-Fida and Suyuti. As its name might indicate, this is not a history of Egypt, but a general description of that country. A translation of this work into French is available in the National Library of Paris, No.840-845. It was suppressed by İbrahim Müteferrika.
