O. Loth, loc. cit., and W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., p. 66. It adds 200 stories to those in the روض الرياحين , most of which refer to the great Shaikh &lsquo;Abd-alḳ&acirc;dir (see above). The name of the Persian translator is not mentioned, but as the first of two other copies of the same work in the Bodleian Library (Bodleian Cat., Nos. 332 and 333) was made before A.H.910 (A.D. 1504), and as moreover the anonymous author mentions as his spiritual guide the great Shaikh Sayyid Jal&acirc;l-ald&icirc;n Makhd&ucirc;m-i-Jah&acirc;niy&acirc;n, who died A.H. 785 (A.D. 1384), the translation of this تكمله must have been made at least 200 years before that of the روض الرياحين . The Persian poet &lsquo;Abd&icirc; made a poetical version of the same تكملة in A.H. 1051 (A.D.1641, 1642), entitled ترجمۀ تكملة ; see A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 307.</p> <p>Beginning: الحمد لله ربّ العالمين ...... ميگويد اضعف العباد أَصْلَحَ الله شانه كه چون كتاب خلاصة المفاخر فى مناقب غوث الملكوت قطب الصمد الخ .</p> <p>Dated the 14th of Ṣafar, A.H. 1089 (A.D. 1678, April 7).
