This copy consists of two different parts; the first three daftars are written by Nuṣratkhân at Shâhjahânâbâd (the first two in the ninth, the third in the twelfth year of جلوس والا, which, if ‘Âlamgîr’s reign is meant, would be A.H. 1076, 1077 and 1079, 1080 respectively=A.D. 1666 and 1669); the last three daftars by Ḍîyâ-allâh ibn Sayyid Khân Muḥammad Ḥusainî Balgrâmî, A.H. 1079 (A.D. 1668, 1669); numerous marginal glosses and various readings. The copy concludes, on fol. 432a, with the introduction of ‘Abd-allaṭîf bin ‘Abdallâh al-’Abbâsî (see below, Nos. 1088-1090), to Daftar VI: اين دفتر دفتريست از نسخۀ ناسخۀ مثنويّات الخ, and we may conclude from this, that the second half of the copy was transcribed from one of the well-known editions of the mathnawî, compiled by ‘Abd-allaṭif. The preface of the first and the third daftar are wanting; the other four are complete. Daftar I, on fol. 1b; II, on fol. 76b; III, on fol. 147b; IV, on fol. 222b; V, on fol. 283b; VI, on fol. 355b. No. 3327, olim 11. J. 14, ff. 432, 2 centre-coll. And 1 margin-col. (ff. 1-221, ll. 17 in the centre, and ll. 30-32 in the margin written in very careless and irregular Nasta’lîḳ; size, 9 in. by 47/8 in.; ff. 222-432, ll. 19 in the centre, ll. 38 in the margin, written in very small, but distinct Nasta’lîḳ; size, 9½ in. by 5¼ in.)
