الجزو الاول من حاشیة حل الوقایة من تصنیف اخی زاده چلبی

Another copy of the same work.

Well written, but not very correct. It was transcribed in A.H. 1029 [ed note: 14 October 1620 CE, see colophon السبت ۱۷ شهر ذُو ٱلْقَعْدَة], at Burhânpûr, for Ḳâḍi Khûshḥâl, who wrote the following note at the end:

تم استکتابه وقت الاشراق یوم السبت ۱۷ شهر ذی القعدة سنة ۱۰۲۹ حین رجع العسکر من الدکن الی برهانپور و وقع ما وقع علینا من المصائب¹ و انا العبد الراقم خوشحال الخ

A similar note is on the title-page.

Bîj. Libr., A.H. 1054 [=1644-45 CE], from Khûshḥâl. Seals of the latter and of Muḥammad ‘Âdil Shâh.

¹ He evidently alludes to the retreat of the Moghul army before Malik ‘Anbar. See Elphinstone’s India, 5^th edition, p. 562.
