A title "Nigaristan, English MS. translation by Rehatsek" in a different hand on a white label has been affixed to the spine. The translation has the title page of "The Nigaristan (Picture gallery) by Mu'in-uddin Jawini, Faithfully translated from the Persian by E. Rehatsek 1888" The majority of the title seem to be in Rehatsek's hand but his name and date added by Arbuthnot. The manuscript has 530 pages, is handwritten and has annotations by both Rehatsek and Arbuthnot. With the manuscript is a soft cover notebook with green marble cover. In this Arbuthnot has written a note to the Oriental Translation Fund New Series to state that he is including a Preface for the late Rehatsek's translation. The Preface is also in the notebook. All are handwritten manuscripts contained within card cover.
