The Ahsan al-tawārīkh records his death and works under 922/1516. However, Murvārīd's association with Ismā'il seems to be of a later date while the anonymous history breathes the intimacy of a faithful adept.

In an important review Zhukovsky, Zapiski, vi, 377–383, suggests that the Memoirs are only a record-of the Shāh's conversations with the Turkish ambassadors in 969/1361. Phillott re-edited the Memoirs in Bibl. Indioa, No. 1319, 1912. Both editions are full of mistakes.
