Zubdat Ihtisar Tarih Muluk Misr al-Mahrusa ; and, The Paris Fragment
Zubdat Ihtisar Tarih Muluk Misr al-Mahrusa
"Zubdat Ihtisar Tarih Muluk Misr al-Mahrusa and the Paris Fragment cover almost exactly the same time period and describe the same historical events. Both works are chronicles in two parts. In the case of Zubdat, the first is an introduction including the author's account of the history of mankind from Adam up to the time of Prophet Muhammad. This brief, and sometimes inaccurate, narrative occupies one folio (1a-b). Beginning with the Umayyads (2a), it also covers the dynasties that had governed Egypt until the capture of Cairo by Selım I in 923/1517 (3a). The second part of the work focuses on the successive governors of Ottoman Egypt. Though the discussion of historical events is initially very concise, the author elaborates on almost every single important occurrence from fol.7a onwards, where the arrival of Ahmed Pasa (d. 931/1524) in Ramadan 1042/April 1633 is mentioned. Zubdat is one of the few sources on Ottoman Egypt of the 17th century, the obscurities and weaknesses of which can be clarified by reference to other contemporary sources." -- http://www.ottomanhistorians.com
In the case of the Paris Fragment, the first part provides a historical account of the Ottoman Empire since its inception up to the year 1123/1711.The first line of the first folio starts with “wa-rakabu al-madafi al-kibar” and is perhaps part of the discussion on the conquest of Constantinople by Mehmed II (848-50/1444-46 and 855-86/ 1451-81) in 857/1453. The text then describes the activities of subsequent Ottoman sultans until the reign of Ahmed III (1115-49/1703-36). This brief account of the history of the Ottoman sultans ends on folio 30a where the author describes the Battle of Prut between Russia and the Ottoman State in Zulqada 1123/July 1711..."-- http://www.ottomanhistorians.com
