A defective copy of the same Kulliyyât.

This collection contains:

1.Muṣîbatnâma, on fol. 1^b. 2. Jawâhir-aldhât, first daftar, on fol. 79^b. 3.Asrârnâma, on fol. 190^b, incomplete at the end; it breaks off on fol. 221^b, the last bait corresponding to fol. 284^a, first line, in No. 559 (1031 in this Cat.); therefore only eighteen maḳâlas are marked here. 4. Miftâḥ-alfutûḥ, on fol. 222^b. 5. Pandnâma, on fol. 240^b. 6.Gul u Khusrau, on fol. 250^b. 7.Bîsarnâma, on fol. 335^b. 8.Bulbulnâma, on fol. 338^b. 9. Kanz-alasrâr, on fol. 344^b, slightly defective at the end; it breaks off on fol. 363^b, the last bait corresponding to fol. 172^a, l. 19, in No. 559 (1031 in this Cat.). 10. Khiyâṭnâma (خياط نامه), or the book of transition (see A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 356), on fol. 365^b, beginning:

بنام آنكه هستى زو نشان يافت

نفوس ناطقه زو نور جان يافت

This very rare ‘mathnawî, which is not even complete here, is only found once more in a European collection (see Bodleian Cat., No. 624, 16). 11. Lisân-alghaib, on fol. 373^b, incomplete at the end too; it breaks off on fol. 408^b, the last bait corresponding to fol. 461^b, l. 23, in No. 559; the proper order of leaves is: ff. 373-404, 409, 405-408. 12.Ushturnâma, on fol. 410^b. 13.Manṣûrnâma (منصور نامه), or the book of Manṣûr (mentioned in Stewart’s Cat., p. 60, and in Ouseley’s Notices of Persian Poets), on fol. 438^b, beginning:

بود منصور اى عجب شوريده حال

در ره تحقيق اورا صد كمال

The only other copy of this mathnawî extant is in the Bodleian Library (Bodleian Cat., No. 623, 15). 14. Waslatnâma, on fol. 442^b. 15. Haft Wâdi, on fol. 458^b.
