The same.

A fifth excellent copy of the Nafaḥât-aluns, older than the preceding ones, but without a full index, dated Rabî’-althânî, A.H. 990 (A.D. 1582, April-May), collated by the same hand which wrote the text, and annotated according to a note at the end of the MS. by another hand in A.H. 1042 (A.D. 1632, 1633). These notes, which cover the margin to a great extent, are taken from the حواشى غفوريّة or the تكلّمة على نفحات الأنس, that is the commentary compiled by ‘Abd-alghafûr al-Lârî, Jâmî’s disciple, who died A.H. 912 (A.D. 1506, 1507), see Bodleian Cat., No. 960; Rieu i. p. 350 sq.

Ff. 1^b-3^b contain the fragment of an index to the Nafaḥât-aluns, only going as far as fol. 104^a (١٠١).

No. 3097, ff. 566, ll. 15; clear and distinct Nasta’lîḳ; illuminated frontispiece; size, 7^3/8 in. by 4^3/4 in.
