Intikhâb-i-Haft Iḳlîm (انتخاب هفت اقليم).

An abridgment of the Haft Iḳlîm, made by Faiḍ-allâh Anṣârî Jaunpûrî, with the takhalluṣ Himmat (see fol. 4^b, l. I), and dedicated to Wajîh-aldîn ‘Alîkhân Bahâdur, who is called the master of the sword and pen (صاحب السيف و القلم ), see fol. 4^a, l. 1 sq. A date of this compilation, which simply gives the geographical accounts of the Haft Iḳlîm in a condensed form, omitting all the biographical details, is not found.
