A very old, but much shorter copy of the same.

This copy, which forms the first part of the six old Persian dîwâns (see Nos. 903 and 911 above), and is written A.H. 713 or 714 (A.D. 1313, 1314), contains only a select number of Mu’izzi’ poems, chiefly ḳaṣidas, with a few ḳiṭ’as and rubâ’îs at the end. Beginning the same as in the preceding copy. A short biographical notice at the top of fol. 1b.

No. 132, ff. 1-18, 6 coll., each ll. 40; Naskhî; small illuminated frontispiece on fol. 1b, a vignette on fol. 1a; miniature paintings throughout size, 153/4 in. by 11 in.
