Scope and Content

This volume contains an incomplete commentary on the well-known Persian history Tajziyat al-amṣar va tazjiyat al-aᶜṣār (تجزية الامصار و تجزية الاعصار) by Vaṣṣāf without a title or the author's name. This is apparently the author's own rough draft and begins immediately with the commentary, without any preface. . This manuscript was likely copied in the 18th or 19th centuries CE. .

There is also a translation of the entire work by Nazmizade (Karatay I, p. 199).
