The name of the work Daw’al-Lami‘* eo) syé by Sakhavi 
(d. aH. 902 = a.p. 1497) appears in the title-page, but from the 
account given on the last fol., it appears that the work was not 
composed by Sakhavi because he died in a.n. 902. It contains 
accounts of incidents which happened 28 years after his death. 
From the following account in fol. 252 it appears that the work 
was composed by one of his pupils as a supplement, ( U2 )
