This copy was transcribed from one of Miyân Muḥammad Ṣâliḥ, which through several intermediate transcripts traced its origin back to an autograph of the poet himself, by Muḥammad Murid bin Muḥammad Rashîd, for his son Rashîd Muḥammad, in the first or tenth year of Shâh ‘Âlam’s reign (A.H. 1173 or 1182=A.D. 1760 or 1768, 1769). On ff. 1b-2b a full index of the Gulistân, supplied by another hand; the work itself begins on fol. 3b.

No. 235, ff. 135, ll. 11; clear Nasta’lîḳ; illuminated frontispiece on fol. 3b; size, 9 in. by 51/4 in.
