    Summary note
    Anthology of letters and short texts, concerning historical events and important figures related to Iran, and Khurasān in particular. The text starts with short notes mentioning events in the history of Iran from 992 to 1006 H. (fol. 1a-b), followed by copies of letters, and other short texts attributed to several important figures. The text also contains what appears to be letter models or samples, some attributed to Mīr Rūḥ Allāh (fol. 30a), and a Fatḥnāmah-i Khurāsān (fol. 5b). On fol. 402b, beginning of a text by ʻAbd al-Razzāq ibn Isḥāq al-Samarqandī (d. 887/1482; the author's name appears on fol. 403a), incomplete at end. On fol. 413a-418b are several short texts written by another hand, including two Fatḥnāmah and a letter.
