The same [i.e. as IO Islamic 2669, catalogue no. 2]

This excellent copy agrees upon the whole with the preceding one, beginning:

The same chronological tables in the preface, but all except the first are left blank and not filled in. the first page is a little injured at the inner corner. The abridged continuation goes down, as in the preceding copy, to the accession of Alnâṣir-billâh, A.H. 575. [al-Nāṣir Li-Dīn Allāh].
