Another still more defective copy of the same.

This copy is defective at the end, breaking off on fol. 557b with the words:شرمسار گشتند و عذرها .... , corresponding to the preceding copy, fol. 307a, l. 11.

There is besides a large lacuna in the middle of fol. 105b, between ll. 5 and 6, comprising the remaining part of bâb IV, from the twelfth story on to the end, as well as the beginning of bâb V, nearly to the end of the eighth story (corresponding to ff. 55a, l. 15-77a, l. 8, in the preceding copy).

Index, on fol. 6b.Bâb I, on fol. 19b; II, on fol. 33b; III, on fol. 53b; IV, on fol. 88b; V, missing; VI, on fol. 149a; VII, on fol. 186a; VIII, on fol. 326b; IX, on fol. 361b; X, on fol. 385a; XI, on fol. 400a; XII, on fol. 427a; XIII, on fol. 473b.

The copy, which is not dated, is somewhat worm-eaten throughout, but in most places carefully mended. The last leaves are seriously damaged. Instead of فرج there is everywhere written فرح, as in the Munich copy (see J. Aumer, loc. cit.).

No. 774, ff. 557, ll. 17; large Nasta’lîḳ; size, 97/8 in. by 57/8 in.
