An abbreviated copy of a technical treatise on archery, partly in verse, by Ṭaybughā al-Ashrafī al-Baklamishī al-Yūnānī (طيبغا الأشرفي البكلمشي اليوناني, d. c. 1394, see f. 2, lines 3-5, and f. 33v, lines 10-11). The title of the work is given at the end of the introduction (f. 11v, line 11). This undated copy was transcribed by Muḥammad al-Umlayṭī al-Azharī (محمد الأمليطي الأزهري, see f. 223r, line 7, transcribed below).
The text was probably written under the Mamluk Sulṭān al-Ashraf Shaʻbān (reg. 1363-77). The present copy claims the text was written in 770/1368-9 (f. 34r, line 7) and describes it as 'number 247 in the
dīwān
' (f. 34r, lines 1-2), although these segments of text do not appear in older copies.

Preface and introduction, discussing prophetic sayings relating to archery (ff. 2v-12r);
Ghināyat al-murāmī wa-ghāyat al-mighrām lil-muʻān

عليه أمره…
Ends (f. 222v, line 11- f. 223r, line 3):
