Summary note
An anonymous Ottoman military history of the Serbian front, written with the intention of being a guide to that region and covering the period from the conquest of Belgrade in 1521 to the year 1685-86. According to the text (see incipit), it was composed at the request of the Sultan (Süleyman II (ruled 1687-1691)?).

Fol. 3b has an illuminated head piece executed in gold leaf with overlaid floral motif in green, orange, red and white watercolors, and with radiating sprigs in blue watercolor along the top edge.
