Scope and Content

This volume contains a continuation of the Siyer (Dürretü'l-tac fi siret Sahib il-Miraç) of Veysi compiled by Yusuf Nabi (died 1124 AH/1712-13 CE). The work begins with the campaign against the Banū Qaynuqāᶜ and ending with the conquest of Makkah by the Prophet Muhammad صلعم. Some of the words in the text are accompanied by Persian glosses in a much smaller hand than the main text. The work contains a single unvan. There is no date of transcription on the text, but the watermark of a crown and a bunch of grapes (London, 1657 and shortly after 1683 CE) suggest that it was copied in the late 17th or early 18th centuries CE. The item was incorrectly lettered as ''Vaisi. Munsha'at''.
