Ḳaṣâ’id-i-Asîr.

A defective copy of Jalâl Asîr’s ḳaṣîdas, in alphabetical order, beginning, on fol. 142a: اى دانۀ تسبیح الخ .

There is a large lacuna after fol. 165 (comprising chiefly letters س to ل); the last verse on fol. 165b corresponds to No. 2172 (1544 in this Cat.), fol. 23b, l. 2; the first on fol. 166a to fol. 40a, l. 3 in the same copy. A blank also on fol. 147b.

Dated A.H. 1124 (A.D. 1712), by the same transcriber who copied the واقعات عالمگيرى (see No. 345 in this Cat.).

No. 212, ff. 142-192, 2 coll., each ll. 13-19; Shikasta, by different hands, as it seems; size, 9½ in. by 6 in.
