This volume contains the first volume of an Ottoman Turkish translation of the Ravẓat al-ṣafā (روضة الصفا) of Mīrkhvānd, completed by Mustafa İbn-i Hasan Şah for the Grand Vezir Rüstem Paşa, in 957 AH (1550-51 CE). The text contains a single unvan and one şemse. The current manuscript was likely copied in the second half of the 16th century CE.
