الفضائل الباهرة في محاسن مصر و القاهرة
A succession of paragraphs (فصل) relating to the history and topography of Egypt and Cairo, preceded by an introduction (مقدمة) on patriotism in general.
The name of the author is not mentioned. In his preface he alludes to the old rivalry between Cairo and Damascus, and represents himself as belonging, as it were, to both places, being a native of a country near to both of them. The work seems to be the same as Cod. Goth. 346, Möller. If so, the author would be AḤMAD B. ẒUHAIRAH, a native of Makkah.
Begins: الحمدلله الذى فاوت بين البلاد فى فضلها وصفاتها.
A survey of the Egyptian dynasties ends with Sultan Ḳânṣûh Ghûrî (fol.28); after this there is a blank, which was also in the original copy. On the margin, however, the list of sovereigns has been continued as far as (Murâd) the son of Salîm II., as in the Gotha MS.
This MS. ends abruptly in the appendix (الخاتمة) .
Written in a clear Nasta’liḳ; modern.
On the last fol. begins a Persian poem.
