The same.

The second or larger half of this copy represents the same earlier collection, but in a shorter form; it begins on fol. 55^a, with the same prose-preface as the preceding copy: موزون ترين كلامى كه غزل سرايان الخ, and contains ghazals, tarji’ât, ḳiṭ’as, rubâ’is, etc.

The usual initial ghazal, on fol. 57^b, l. 10; the alphabetical ghazals, on ff. 62^b-174^a.

The first fifty-four leaves of this copy contain miscellaneous pieces in verse and prose, partly taken from Jâmî’s Bahâristân (see further below, Nos. 1383-1386), as is stated in several places. The whole seventh rauḍah of that work is found on ff. 33^a, l. 3 ab infra, to 54^b (روضۀ هفتم در داستان مرغان قافیه سنج سرابستان سخنوری الخ ). This miscellaneaous portion begins with a ḳaṣidah of Sa’dî, on fol. 1^b.

No date. Bibliotheca Leydeniana.

No. 2471, ff. 180, ll. 13-15; Nasta’lîḳ, in a large, uncouth handwriting; size, 9 in. by 4^5/8 in.
