Scope and Content

This volume contains a copy of the Gencine-yi Raz, composed by Yahya Bey of the Dukagjini family of Albania. The text was likely composed while he was in exile in Zvornik, Bosnia. The manuscript contains gold headings and was apparently copied in the 16th century CE, although the first page appears to have been supplied by a later hand.
