A copy of the book from Herat, dated 1425 CE. Depicted are Muhammad and the archangel Gabriel. Script is in Persian language.

The book is a chronicle mostly of Persian Kings, and is often cited as a source of reference for historical events of the 12th century and before. It refers to the classical Persian Shahnameh as the "tree" and all other poems as "branches".^[1]

Some authors have claimed the name of the author to be Ibn Shadi Asad abadi (ابن شادی اسدآبادی).^[2] The book was first edited in 1939 by Mohammad-Taqi Bahar in Tehran.

Another book with the same title was written by Fasihuddin Ahmad in 1441.^{[citation needed]}
