<strong>‘Iyâr-i-dânish.</strong> <strong>This manuscript is now IO Islamic 776 in the India Office collections.</strong> <strong>[metadata:</strong> <strong>Hermann Ethé</strong><strong><em>, </em></strong><strong><em>Catalogue of Persian Manuscripts in the Library of the India Office,</em></strong> <strong>2 vols. (Oxford: India Office, 1903): volume 1,</strong> <strong>number 1186 here with notations and hyperlinks].</strong> 776 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. 97^a and of the fourth on fol. 37^a. No. 1186, ff. 136, ll. 15; Nasta’lîḳ; the first eight leaves added by a more recent hand; size, 8^1/4 in. by 5^7/8 in.
