Scope and Content

This volume contains a legendary history divided into mecalis, probably written for a storyteller (meddah) in an Azerbaijani dialect and derived from the Persian epic of the same title. The final page carries the name Samname as well. The orthography of the work is somewhat erratic. The manuscript was copied by Muḥammad Rıẓā ibn Merḥūm Mullā ᶜAbd al-Rıẓā in the year 1265 AH (1848-49 CE), which is also likely the year of the work's composition.
