Description:
|
An incomplete copy of the Majmaʻ al-Ansāb (Assembly of Genealogies) by Muḥammad ibn ‘Alī Shabānkārahʹī. Mostly compiled by the author from earlier sources, it comprises a general history primarily relating the lineages of prevailing Persian, Arab, Turkic rulers up to the death of the Mongol Ilkhanid ruler Abu Sa'id Khān. He originally completed it for Abu Sa'id's minister Ghīyāth al-Dīn Muḥammad (d. 1336) in 733 AH (1332–33 CE); however, the book went missing after his patron's death. So, the author composed a second redaction that he completed 10 years later in 743 AH (1342–43). A scribe named Muḥammad Afz̤āl completed this volume in Bihar in 1080 AH (1670 CE), but it later suffered damage, so a subsequent owner attempted to complete the volume with folios detached from another manuscript.
