520 8 ‡aFine copy of the final (typically eighth) volume or Khātimah of the celebrated universal history Rawz̤at al-ṣafāʼ fī sīrat al-anbiyāʼ va al-mulūk va al-khulafāʼ by the Tīmūrid historian Muḥammad ibn Khvāndshāh Mīrkhvānd (d.1498) and completed by his grandson Ghiyās̲ al-Dīn Khvāndamīr (d.1535). Appears to lack the closing panegyric for Mīr ʻAlī Shīr Navāʼī (Ali Şir Nevai, d.1501). Apparently when the set of manuscripts now comprising Isl. Ms. 860 v.1-v.8 was compiled, this manuscript was mistaken for a copy of the section of the work addressing Sulṭān Ḥusayn Bāyqarā and his sons to 929 [1522-3] (typically found in the seventh volume). Title in colophon and an inscription on the inner front flyleaf (p.1) providing the title, contents, etc. identifies this as the seventh volume but the contents (even as described) are clearly that of the Khātimah or what is typically the eighth volume.
