Unfortunately no author’s name is added to the single piece, but a great number at least of the first portion of these rubâ’îs belong to the famous Shaikh Abû Sa’îd bin Abû-alkhair (died A.H. 440, 4th of Sha’bân, A.D. 1049, January 12), as a comparison with those published by Dr. Ethé in the ‘Sitzungsberichte der Königl. Bayr. Akad. der Wissenschaften, 1875, Phil.-histor. Classe, pp. 145-168’ shows; No. 2 of that collection, for instance, is found here on fol. 2a, ll. 4 and 5; No. 3, on fol. 3b, ll. 6 and 7; No. 12, ib., ll. 8 and 9; No. 5, on fol. 4a, ll. 1 and 2, etc. Later on appear rubâ’îs by Jâmî (died A.H. 898), ‘Urfî (died A.H. 999), Ṣâ’ib (died A.H. 1088), & c. Beginning of the initial rubâ’î: اى نام تو ديباچۀ مجموعۀ راز نازند بنام تو همه اهل نياز No date. No. 1231, ff. 76, 4½ rubâ’îs on each page; careless Nasta’lîḳ; size, 7½ in. by 4¼ in.
