It consists of two series of words, both arranged alphabetically according to the first letter; the first series begins on fol. 1^b with اردى بهشت (نام بهار و مدّت ماندن آفتاب), the second, on fol. 23^a, with الله (خداى); see a similar but shorter glossary in the Bodleian Cat., No. 1982 (كليد سكندرنامه). It ends on fol. 29^b, and is followed on ff. 30^a-32 by short glossary of the Pahlaw&icirc; words which occur in Firdaus&icirc;&rsquo;s Sh&acirc;hn&acirc;ma (بدانكه الفاظى كه استاد الانام مولانا ابوالقاسم متخلّص بفردوسى طوسى رحمة الله عليه در شاهنامه بزبان پهلوان آورده اند جمله اينست) , likewise in alphabetical order. Many of these so-called Pahlaw&icirc; words are simply Arabic ones, see, for instance, the first three: ادريس (نام پیغمبر), انبيا (پيغمبران), الياس و خضر (معروف), etc. A small portion of the first page is torn away.</p> <p>No. 1893, ff. 32, ll. 16-18; Nasta&rsquo;l&icirc;ḳ; size, 10^5/8 in. by 6 in.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
