An incomplete copy of the Nafaḥât, which breaks off on fol. 355b at the end of the biography of تلمیذۀ سرى سقطى (a female disciple of Sarî Saḳaṭi), corresponding to No. 1412 (1361 in this Cat.), fol. 292a, l. 3 ab infra. There are besides a great number of lacunas, usually marked by blank leaves, viz. fol. 267 (comprising ff. 210a, l. 1 to 210b, l. 14 in No. 1412), ff. 270 and 271 (comprising ff. 212a, last line, to 213a, l. 13 in the same copy), fol. 280 (comprising ff. 219b, l. 13, to 220b, l. 3 in the same copy), ff. 284 and 285 (comprising ff. 222b, last line, to 224b, l. 4 in the same copy), after fol. 301 (without a blank leaf, comprising ff. 238a, I. 6 ab infra, to 240b, I. 7 ab infra in the same copy), after fol. 307 (likewise without a blank leaf, comprising ff. 245a, lin. penult., to 246a, l. 7 in the same copy), and fol. 354 (the largest of all lacunas, comprising ff. 277b, l. 7, to 291b, I. 7 in No. 1412).
