It concludes on fol. 97^b, and is dated the 12th of Dh&ucirc;-alḳa&rsquo;dah, in the first year of Jah&acirc;nd&acirc;rsh&acirc;h&rsquo;s reign (=A.H. 1124, A.D. 1712, Dec. 11). As this little glossary follows in the same MS. immediately upon the مفتاح گلستان, by Uwais bin &lsquo;Al&acirc;-ald&icirc;n &Acirc;dam (see Nos. 1176-1179 in this Cat.), it may be due to the same author, who flourished about A.H. 900 (A.D. 1494, 1495).</p> <p>This كليد is followed, on ff. 98-106^b, by another short glossary, likewise to the B&ucirc;st&acirc;n, arranged, without alphabetical order, according to the single chapters of Sa&rsquo;di&rsquo;s poem; but there are quoted only eight chapters; the last two seem to be missing. Beginning:پوزش عذر (عزيز.MS) و معذرت الخ at the end a fragment of a تعبير نامه.</p> <p>Copied A.H. 1148 (A.D. 1735, 1736).</p> <p>No. 1840, ff. 91-107, ll. 13; clear Nasta&rsquo;l&icirc;ḳ; size, 8^3/8 in. by 6 in.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
