Shak Rukh's son commissioned the book, which Yazdi probably wrote between 1424 and 1428, originally entitled Zafarnama: "The book of victory". He based much of his work on an earlier but less extensive Zafernama, written by the historian Nizam ad-Din Shami, a contemporary of Tamerlane. The first volume opens with an engraved portrait of Tamerlane. Included are maps of Transoxiana, Mongolia, Turkey, Iraq and Iran, a general map of Asia and a map depicting Tamerlane's expeditions in and around India.Occasionally some minor foxing and some small spots. Bindings only very slightly rubbed. Overall in very good condition.l Elwell-Sutton, Bibliographical guide to Iran, p. 194; STCN 141521686 (8 copies).
