This copy is defective both at the beginning and end, and is besides in quite a hopeless state of confusion as to the proper order of the leaves. They are misplaced or misbound, and as most of the catchwords are missing, it is not possible to set them right. The copy begins in the middle of a prose preface, which winds up with a fihrist of the ten bâbs, and appears to be that of Muḥammad bin ‘Alî al-Raffâ (alias Muḥammad bin ‘Alî Raḳḳâm, see Rieu ii. p. 550b), on fol. 1a. On fol. 3a begins Sanâ’î’s own preface: سپاس و ستايش الخ, but in an abridged form. The mathnawî itself begins on fol.6b; on fol. 37b appears the beginning of Bâb VIII, on fol. 50a that of Bâb IX, on fol. 86b that of Bâb X, on fol. 193a that of Bâb V, on fol. 246b that of Bâb VI, on fol. 250a that of Bâb VII, and on fol. 270b that of Bâb II. No other headings are to be found. Slight injuries here and there. No. 3418, olim 13. J. 22, ff. 300, 2 coll., each ll. 17; Nasta’lîḳ; small illuminated frontispiece on fol. 6b; size, 63/4 in. by 41/8 in.
