| Subject matter |
|
| Content | A short history on the natural wonders and rulers of Egypt beginning with al-Jabābirah and ending with the Mamluk Sultan al-Malik al-Manṣūr Sayf al-Dīn Abū al-Maʿālī Qalāwūn al-Alfī (ruled 678/1279-689/1290; EI2 IV/484-486). After an insertion about Abū Ḥanīfah al-Nuʽmān ibn Thābit (d. 150/767; EI I/123-125; GAL I/169-170 S I/284-287; GAS I/409-413), there follows the conclusion which mentions the Circassian sultans and the Ottoman Sultan Selim I. (ruled 918/1512-926/1520; EI2 IX:127-131) and Suleiman the Magnificent (ruled 926/1520-974/1566; EI2 IX/832-842).
Generally, this work is attributed to Ibrāhīm ibn Waṣīf Shāh al-Waṣīfī (596/1199-1200 or 599/1202-1203; EI2 XI/163-164; Ḥājjī Khalīfah II/641, no. 4272; GAL I/335-336 S I/574-575; Kaḥḥālah I/125; Ziriklī I/78) who cannot be considered the author of the present manuscript because on f. 24v he is cited as one of the sources. The text of our MS is identical with the text in the MSS in Gotha, Copenhagen and Vienna. The MSS in Cairo (Sayyid Fu’ād II/108, no. 203) and Paris (1819-1820) with titles of the same name are different from those. Which of the texts with the title Jawāhir al-buhūr wa-waqā’i‘ al-umūr the Cairene print from 2004 is based on, still needs to be examined. |
