This copy of Jâmî’s first dîwân, in two parts, like the one in No. 1300, but with this peculiar arrangement, that the second part (the ghazals, muḳaṭṭa’ât, and rubâ’îs) precedes the first. Contents: Ghazals, in alphabetical order, defective at the beginning; the copy opens abruptly with this final bait: آن سرو سهی قدرا شد خاک قدم جامی الخ , corresponding to fol. 64b, lin. penult., in the preceding copy. Between ff. 221 and 222 seven blank leaves are inserted, but as a comparison with the preceding copy shows, there is no lacuna. At the end the musammaṭ: الا ای ماه الخ. Muḳaṭṭa’ât, on fol. 232b, beginning:دلا منشين الخ. Rubâ’îs, on fol. 237a, beginning:سبحانك لا علم الخ. The usual prose-preface of the first dîwân, on fol. 249b, beginning: بسم الله الرّحمن الرّحيم – هست صلاى الخ Ḳaṣîdas, tarjî’ât, marâthî, short mathnawîs, etc., on fol. 253a, beginning:زان پیش الخ.
