This 'Falnamah' ('Book of Divination') is one of the few complete – or near-complete – copies of the work to have survived. It consists of 35 double-page openings, each with a large miniature on the right-hand page (i.e., the verso). On the opposite page (the recto) is a caption for the painting and an explanation predicting the scene's outcome depicted in terms of delivering good, bad or variable fortune. If the prediction is unfavourable, the text recommends how to forestall it, delay a decision or buy one's way out of it with a charitable donation. The first folio is the only one to have a painting on each of the recto and verso. That on the record may be the left-hand half of a double frontispiece. The paintings can be viewed for their own sake, for which purpose a second caption in Persian was added beneath each scene at a later date.
