Taṣḥîḥ-i-mathnawî ( تصحيح مثنوى).

A critical and explanatory commentary on the mathnawî, imperfect at the end. The compiler was Muḥammad Hâshim, called Faiḍân (فيضان), the son of Muḥammad Kâżim alḥasanî alḥusainî alnajafî (who may be identical with Muḥammad Kâżim, the author of the عالمگيرنامه, see Nos. 347-357 in this Cat.), and the date of composition is A.H. 1122=A.D. 1710, 1711 (the title being a chronogram).

Beginning: سبحان العليم الخبير الذى بكمال الحمد و الثناء جدير و بكلّ الموجودات بصير و على ايجاد الممكنات قدير الخ.

The explanation of verses and phrases in the mathnawi begins with the preface of Daftar I, on fol. 2^b.
