An incomplete copy of the same.

Beginning as usual. It goes down to fol. 33^b, l. 3 ab infra in No. 213 (1646 in this Cat.); the headings on ff. 265^b, 267^b, 269^a, and 274^a are left blank. This copy ends on fol. 278^a and is dated A.H. 1103 (A.D. 1691, 1692). On ff. 278^b-283^b another short mathnawî, in the same metre, is added, probably by the same Nâṣir ‘Ali (but not found in No. 213), beginning:

شنيدم روزى از خونابه نوشى الخ
