Glosses on the شرح المواقف, ascribed to Molla ḤASAN CHALABÎ (b. Muḥammad Shâh Fanârî, d. A.H. 886). See Ḥ. Kh. vi. 236, and Casiri I., nos. 1495, 1532, and 1573 [= Miguel Casiri, Bibliotheca Arabico-Hispana Escurialensis (2 vols, Madrid, 1760–1770)].

Beginning:

(قوله) فبسمل اولا تیمنا فان قلت لیس للبسملة مدخل فی الاشارة المذکورة الخ

Closely written, in different hands, mostly Shikastah, and difficult to read. It ends abruptly in Book (موقف) III. The latter part of a preface, which probably belongs to the present work, is on the title-page. It begins:
