A commentary on the Lawâ’iḥ.

A short Persian commentary on the principal topics of Jâmî’s لوائح, styled كلمات فى بيان بعضى معانى اللوائح, by Muḥammad bin Shaikh Muḥammad Faḍl-allâh, and beginning:الحمد لله ..... و بعد يقول العبد المذنب المحتاج الى شفاعة النبىّ الخ.

It is collated. After the conclusion, on fol. 106^b, a short appendix in Arabic follows, probably by the same scholar, dealing with the same topics, and beginning:اقول مدار الكلام الصوفيّة علی خمسة احرف الخ. It is written by the same hand as the commentary itself.

Another, considerably extensive, commentary on the لوائح, with the title اشعّة اللوائح, by ‘Abd-almalik ibn ‘Abd-alghafûr alanṣârî, is noticed in W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., pp. 284 and 285.

No. 1994, ff. 59^b-110, ll. 11; clear Nasta’lîḳ; size, 7^1/2 in. by 3^1/8 in.
