- Abstract: Treatise on medicine in two parts (see description of contents in the preamble of the text, fol. 3a-4b), also known as "Kifāyah-i Manṣūrī". The text is dedicated to Sulṭān Mujāhid al-Dīn Zayn al-ʻĀbidīn, i.e. Zayn al-ʻĀbidīn al-Muẓẓafarī, ruler of Fars, 786-789/1384-1387, according to the Mashhad catalogue. Rieu suggests that the dedicatee is rather Zayn al-ʻĀbidīn of Kashmīr, 823-875/1420-1470. There is no evidence however that the laqab of the latter is Mujāhid al-Dīn (Storey, C.
