The same.

Beginning as in the preceding copy.

No date. A large number of marginal and interlinear glosses, some of considerable value, throughout the whole work, mostly written in red ink. The Khâtimah ends on fol.137^b, and is followed by another short mystical treatise of the same author, Gîsûdarâz, styled Wujûd-al’âshiḳin (وجود العاشقين ), on ff. 137^b-144^b, beginning:سپاس بيحدّ و ستايش بيعدد (و) مر قادر مطلق و حاكم بر حقّ و جانان عاشقان و صاحب جملۀ جهان را و درود بيقياس مر احمد حقّ شناس الخ.

Ff. 145-160 are filled by another hand with some Hindûstanî poetry in mathnawî-form, and several prose-treatises, partly in Hindûstanî too, partly in Persian, dealing mostly with the same topics of the Muḥammadan creed from a Ṣûfic standpoint, as the Khâtimah, for instance, وضو , ذبح , روز جمعه, etc.

No. 1163, ff. 160, ll. 15; large Nasta’lîḳ; the Arabic quotations in Naskhî; size, 9^7/8 in. by 6^7/8 in.
