The manuscript appears to have been improperly bound, with the text beginning on p. 111, and a colophon bearing the date 1155 AH () on p. 110. Nesih. Main text in black ink with red catchwords and overlines. Text in a single column of 25 lines without text boxes. There are a considerable number of notes at the start and end of the volume in Ottoman Turkish and clearly not in the same hand as the main text. One of these at the start of the text is dated 1196 AH (1781-82 CE).
Yazıcıoğlu Ahmed Bican’s (died after 870 AH/1466 CE) Ottoman Turkish translation of Zakariyya ibn Muhammad al-Qazwīnī’s (died 682 AH/1283 CE) ‘Ajā’ib al-makhlūqāt, an Arabic work on geography and cosmography. Yazıcıoğlu Ahmed Bican’s translation was the most well-known and perhaps the most widely read work of its kind. He completed the work in Gallipoli 857 AH (1453 CE). It consists of seventeen chapters and is based on Persian translations rather than al-Qazwīnī’s Arabic original.
