A number of mathnawîs by the same Nâṣir ‘Alî, the first of which, on ff. 1b-52a, is the same religious poem which appears in most copies of Nâṣir ‘Alî’s poetical works (see Rieu, Sprenger, Pertsch, and Bodleian Cat., loc. cit.), and begins: الهى ذرّۀ درد ( دردى read) بجان ريز شرر در پنبه زار استخوان ريز A special copy of this mathnawî is noticed in W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., p. 697, No. 15. On ff. 53a-105 a large number of smaller mathnawîs are added, no doubt by the same Nâṣir ‘Alî, the first of which begins: بنام خداوند ناز آفرين – جگرهاى عاشق گداز آفرين The others are partly Sâḳînâmas, partly encomiums of the Kalandarî monks, all of mystical import. The mathnawî on Kashmîr, noticed in Rieu ii. p. 700a, is not found among them. No date.
