|Provenance:Private US collection, 1960-present.The text is on geography, history and strange events and creatures, and was composed and dedicated to Pir Muhammad Khan (reg. 1555-60 or 66), son of Jani Bayg of the Shaybani Uzbeks (referred to in the preface as 'King of Balkh', but who ruled at Samarqand). It was influenced by other texts such as 'Aja'ib al-Buldan. Although the text is known, there are very few recorded copies of it. Rypka mentions the book and translates the title as 'Collections of Curiosities', 'which has been preserved in two redactions' (see J. Rypka, History of Iranian Literature, reprint 1968, p. 461).Other copies of the text are recorded: one in the Bodleian Library Oxford (MS. Ouseley 47 (https://www.fihrist.org.uk/catalog/manuscript_4742), dated 12 Rajab 1085/12th October 1674; and an incomplete copy of the text in the Parliament Library in Tehran, attributed to the 19th Century. An article in Persian by A. Habibi discusses the content of the text and mentions an undated copy in Tashkand Library. (see http://www.ensani.ir/storage/Files/20120509081606-4048-779.pdf).
