The Glosses of Khayâlî, with additional notes by ḲARA KAMÂL (Kamâl al-dîn Ismâ’îl Ḳaramânî, contemporary of Sultan Muḥammad the Conqueror). See Ḥ. Kh. iv. 223 and 221.

The work begins: الحمد لذی المن و الاحسان و الصلوة علی سید الانسان و علی من اتبعه فی الایمان (قال) المولی الخیالی عفا الله عنه قال الشارح التحریر, and so on, to the end of the first gloss of Khayâlî, which concludes with the words هذا کلامه. It is followed by a note of Ḳara Kamâl, which runs thus: (قوله) فی تعقیب التسمیة بالتحمید اقتداء باسلوب الکتاب المجید اراد بالکتاب القران.

Well written, partly in Nasta’liḳ and partly in Naskh. Slightly imperfect at the end. Injured by insects.
