898

A defective copy of the same.

Beginning as usual. No date. This copy is in a very bad state, worm-eaten and damaged in many places; there are besides several lacunas and misplaced leaves, for instance, the proper order of ff. 183-202 is: 183, 196, 197, 195, 201, 194, 200, 198, 199, 202; the intervening leaves 184-193 are not quite consecutive, 185-192 and 184 and 193 respectively belong together, but between both these series there are lacunas.

No. 658, ff. 536, 2 coll., ll. 16-23; written very unequally by different hands in various styles of Nasta’lîḳ; size, 8^3/4 in. by 4^1/2 in.
