A very defective copy of the same.

An incomplete copy of the Nafaḥât, which breaks off on fol. 355^b at the end of the biography of تلمیذۀ سرى سقطى (a female disciple of Sarî Saḳaṭi), corresponding to No. 1412 (1361 in this Cat.), fol. 292^a, l. 3 ab infra. There are besides a great number of lacunas, usually marked by blank leaves, viz. fol. 267 (comprising ff. 210^a, l. 1 to 210^b, l. 14 in No. 1412), ff. 270 and 271 (comprising ff. 212^a, last line, to 213^a, l. 13 in the same copy), fol. 280 (comprising ff. 219^b, l. 13, to 220^b, l. 3 in the same copy), ff. 284 and 285 (comprising ff. 222^b, last line, to 224^b, l. 4 in the same copy), after fol. 301 (without a blank leaf, comprising ff. 238^a, I. 6 ab infra, to 240^b, I. 7 ab infra in the same copy), after fol. 307 (likewise without a blank leaf, comprising ff. 245^a, lin. penult., to 246^a, l. 7 in the same copy), and fol. 354 (the largest of all lacunas, comprising ff. 277^b, l. 7, to 291^b, I. 7 in No. 1412). Ff. 326-328 must besides be inserted after fol. 288. Parts of several pages are torn away, others are injured by worms.
