Another copy of the earlier collection.

This copy contains about the same miscellaneous poems as the preceding one (ghazals, tarjî’ât, ḳiṭ’as, rubâ’îs, etc.), and-in addition to them-the earlier preface with the dedication to Abû Sa’îd, on fol. 226b:

موزون ترين كلامی كه غزال (غزل) سرايان انجمن انس و محبّت وقافيه سنجان الخ.

The usual initial ghazal (as in the preceding copy), on fol. 229a; the first alphabetical ghazal, on fol. 238a, begins here: هر دم افزونی چو گل رخسار آتشناک را الخ, corresponding to fol. 71a, l. in No. 2628.

The right order of ff. 526-530 is: 526, 529, 528, 527, 530.

No date.

No. 512, margin-column, ff. 226b-619, ll. 26; Nasta’lîḳ; illuminated heading on fol. 226b.
