The historian Hafez Abru (died in 1430) of the Timurid Dynasty period wrote the historical work
Magma' al-Tawdrix (“Historical Collection”), which consists of four parts. In the
tribal records of the third volume of this work, information concerning the history of the Timurid Dynasty, which cannot be seen in other historical materials, has been confirmed. This paper will discuss and analyze a manuscript of
Magma' al-Tawdrix containing nine
tribal records concerning the Timurid Dynasty, which is kept in the library of the Topkapi Saray Museum of Istanbul. As a result, it is clear that Hafez Abru wrote the
tribal records in the year A. H. 829 (1425/26), with the following two types of tribes in mind:
(1) tribes which have marital relations with the Timurid family
(2) new tribes of the 14th century formed from various Mongolian tribes
