1790

A defective copy of the same.

׳Unwân I, on fol. 4b ; II, on fol. 22a ; III, not marked ; IV, on fol. 39b.

Rukn I, on fol. 67a ; II, on fol. 131a ; III, on fol. 270b. This rukn is quite incomplete, containing only the first three اصل ; another portion of the same third rukn, comprising a part of the sixth اصل, and the whole of the seventh and eighth, is found on ff. 492-572.

Rukn IV, on fol. 315b, breaking off in the tenth اصل, on fol. 490a. It is very strange, that in spite of these lacunas all the catch-words agree wonderfully. The copy is besides a little worm-eaten.

No. 1913, ff. 572, ll. 17 ; clear Nasta’lîḳ ; size, 97/8 in. by 65/8 in.
