Haft Wâdî.

Another very defective copy of Farîd-aldîn ‘Aṭṭâr’s Haft Wâdî (see above, No. 1031, 6), beginning: حمد پاك از جان پاك آن پاكرا الخ. It is in a hopeless confusion, all the verses being mixed together; it is moreover incomplete at the end, and has two lacunas after ff. 2 and 4. The last bait on fol. 2^b corresponds to fol. 147^a, l. 11, in No. 559 (1031 in this Cat.), the first bait on fol. 3^a to fol. 149^b, l. 8, in the same copy.

The last bait on fol. 4^b corresponds to fol. 150^a, l. 11, the first on fol. 5^a to fol. 148^b, l.7, in No. 559. Fol. 5^b, l. 10, is= fol. 148^b, l. 19; fol. 6^b, l. 3 ab infra= fol. 147^a, l. 18, and the last bait on fol. 10^b=fol. 149^a, l. 17, in the same copy. The last leaf (fol. 11) contains three ghazals with the takhalluṣ ‘Alî.

No. 1921, ff. 11, 2 coll., each ll. 19; clear and distinct Nasta’lîḳ; size, 10¼ in. by 6 in.
