This volume is the horoscope of Sultan Amir Zadeh Rustam. It was written in 822 AH in Persian (with some Arabic) by Yahya ibn Imad bin Yahya Al-Munajjim al-Kashi. It is probably the copy presented to the Sultan. It includes finely illuminated borders and sarlauh on initial pages but dampstained. Some color is fading. The volume also includes some notes about the manuscript, probably from the 1940s.
