Jâmî’s third dîwân.

Another, but rather incomplete, copy of Jâmî’s third dîwân, arranged exactly in the same way as in No. 1300, fol. 383^a sq.

Preface in prose, on fol. 123^b, beginning:

بسم الله الرّحمن الرّحيم – طرفه خطابيست ز سفر قديم

The three introductory poems, on fol. 123^a, the first beginning: آنكه تسبيح حصا الخ, after which the ḳaṣîdas follow. The tarkîbband, and the two ta’rîkhât, noticed in the above copy, appear here on ff. 129^b and 131^a respectively.

Ghazals, in alphabetical order, preceded by the same two pieces as in No. 1300; beginning of the initial ghazal, on fol. 132^a: بر آمد شاه عشق الخ.

The ghazals end on fol. 196^a; of the muḳaṭṭa’ât, which begins on the same page in the usual way, only five are found, the copy breaking off on fol. 196^b; besides, the last six leaves are so seriously damaged, that whole portions of the text are torn away.

No. 3425, olim 7. J. 20, ff. 123-196, 2 coll., each ll. 18; Nasta’lîḳ; illuminated frontispiece; size, 9 in. by 5^3/8 in.
