Scope and Contents
A history of certain Afghan chieftains, with a particular focus on Ḥāfiẓ al-Mulk Ḥāfiẓ Raḥmat Khān (d.1774).
The text begins on folio 1b with:
اللهم مالک الملک توتی الملک من تشاء و تنزع الملک ممن تشاء و تعز من تشاء و تذل من تشاء بیدک الخیر انک علی کل شیء قدیر.جواهر زواهر حمد بیحد و لآلی متلالی ثنای بیعد نثار بارگاه مالک الملکی که مملکتش مصون از صدمه زوال است.
The work appears to be almost complete but lacks its final folios.
The manuscript has similar material features to Or. Ms. 464 and Or. 465, and may have been produced in the same workshop.
