Bûstân-i-Khayâl.

The first shaṭr of the preceding second daftar, forming, as it seems, together with the following copy of the second shaṭr, the tenth volume of the whole work. From a colophon in the Bodleian copy it would appear as if these two shaṭr, which now form together with preceding copy a single daftar or jild, although two distinct volumes, were originally meant to appear as third daftar; in this way some of the conflicting statements found in the Bodleian copy, the third British Museum copy (Add. 4939), and our present copies might easily be reconciled.

Beginning:

نيكوترين محامد و عاليترين اثنيه سزاوار جناب حضرت خالق البريّه است كه مخلوقات ارض و سماء و ما فيها بذكر حمد و ثناى او خود را مشغول مي نمايد الخ
