Note from BNF catalogue: This version is worded slightly differently from that found in BNF Turc 378, and is missing the first folio. The catalogue also notes that there is no clear division of days, nor division of stories, but it contains the same narratives as those in BNF Turc 378. Unlike like many other manuscripts, this one does not contain a dedication to Murad II, but only one to his son. |
