Selections from the first and second volume of Iqbālnāmah-ʼi Jahāngīrī. This copy contains parts of a history of Emperor Akbar and his father. The first two leaves of this volume are bound out of order and begin with the year 13 of Akbar's reign before returning to a portion of his father's rule followed by an account of Akbar's birth and ascension to the throne; the work ends abruptly in the ninth year of Akbar's rule. The final page is pasted over another written page. The work includes 29 illustrations in mixed media, some of which are incomplete and many of which have had names and comments added to them; some of the illustrations also have added pasted-on embellishments or corrections to the drawing (see f. 25v, for example).
Copy of the story of Vāmiq and ʻAz̲rā with numerous brightly colored full-page illustrations; the illustrations all have a blank space left on the reverse side of the leaf and blank leaves have been tipped in around the illustrations and full-page illuminations.
Astrological tables written for the reign of Fatḥ-ʻAlī Shāh of the Qajar dynasty. The text has been rebound and is missing the end; flyleaves have been remounted and are covered in pen tests.
Genealogical tables of the Prophets, followed by Eastern and Persian dynasties up to Fatḥ-ʻAlī Shah of the Qajar dynasty. The author says this work is based on an abridged Turkish translation he saw of a Persian text by Yūsuf ibn ʻAbd al-Laṭīf called Tavārīkh va siyar-i anbiyā va akhbār-i sulūk-i mulūk. Since the Persian had been lost, but the Turkish text was recognized as being a translation from Persian, it was decided to translate it back into Persian (f. 1v). The copy then seems to have been expanded to include up to the second Qajar ruler.
