2989. Size 91/2 in. by 53/4 in.; foll. 318. Twenty-five lines in a page.

Another copy of the Talwîḥ.

Neatly written in Nasta’liḳ, but the first portion (to fol. 67) supplied by two different hands. Notes. The book having been injured, it was bordered with new paper; hence the catchwords were often lost, and the latter portion misplaced in re-binding. Foll. 258-318 should be placed in the following order: 258, 291-310, 314-317, 259-290, 311-313, 318. A defect after fol. 162. A blank on fol. 130.

Seals of ‘Abd al-mu’min, Henry Vansittart, and Charles Boddam, [ob. 13 August 1811] and signature of the latter, “Calcutta, May 1st, 1787.”
