Another fragmentary copy of the same.

This very incomplete copy is besides in a state of helpless confusion. So far as we have been able to rearrange the leaves, their proper order appears to be : ff. 1-8, large blank, 129-136, 121-128, 113-120, 105-112, 97-104, 89-92, lacuna, 37-40, 25-32, 17-24, 9-16, blank and lacuna, 93-96, 81-88, 73-80 (between ff. 79 and 80 probably a small blank), 65-72, 57-64, 49-56, 41-48, 33-36. The only headings which appear are those of the third bâb on fol. 97a and of the fourth on fol. 37a.

No. 1186, ff. 136, ll. 15; Nasta’lîḳ; the first eight leaves added by a more recent hand; size, 81/4 in. by 57/8 in.
