This is a tenth-century AH / sixteenth CE Safavid copy of the first collection of poetry, or Dīvān-i avval (also known as Fātiḥat al-shabāb), of Nūr al-Dīn Jāmī (d. 898 AH / 1492 CE), written in 884 AH / 1479 CE. The binding is Ottoman and is attributable to the twelfth century AH / eighteenth CE. It is not contemporary with the manuscript. It is of the type sometimes referred to as çahârkûşe' cild, from the Persian chahār gūshah (four corners), where the spine and edges of the boards are covered with leather and the main area consists of paper, in this case marbled paper.

The primary language in this manuscript is Persian.
