Abstract
The Paris Manuscript of the Jami' al-tavarikh of Rashid al-Din (Bibliotheque Nationale, Supplement persan 1113), adorned with 109 miniatures, is one of the best manuscripts of this work. E. Blochet put this manuscript in high esteem, considering it to have been completed in 1304-1318. However, B. Gray and other art historians opposed this, stating that the manuscript in question is of later date, namely of Timurid period. The close examinations of this manuscript both in text and miniatures in comparison with other contemporary manuscripts (Revan 1518, Hazine 1654, etc.) reveal to us the fact that this manuscript actually belongs to the earliest manuscripts of the Jami' al-tavarikh, and that it was completed most probably in 1304-1318 as was originally maintained by E. Blochet.
