A Descriptive Catalogue of the Arabic and Persian Manuscripts in Edinburgh University Library by Mohammad Hukk et al. (1925) says, "This copy is particularly interesting, as from the cancelling of many parts of the text, especially in the muqaddimah, we may conclude that we have got here the author's first sketch or brouillon." Please consult said catalogue for more details of the missing text.
On fol.1b in another handwriting (mild shikastah) some Persian statistical and topographical data is given.
