Sprenger, Catal., p. 372; A. F. Mehren, p. 41; Notices et Extraits iv. p. 289; see also Haft Iḳlîm, No. 635 (col. 424 in this Cat.); Âtashkada, No. 291 (ib. col. 273), etc. The poem is usually styled بهرام و بهروز (see also Rieu i. p. 351<sup>b</sup>); but the genuine title appears here, on fol. 33<sup>a</sup>, l. 6:</p> <p>نام او شد نهال باغ ارم – تا كه روشن كند چراغ ارم</p> <p>(the word نهال being an apparent misspelling for نهاده, as the Bodleian copy has); in his lyrical poems Bannâ’î used Ḥâlî as takhalluṣ (see Âtashkada and Sprenger, loc. cit.). Beginning of the poem, on fol. 1<sup>b</sup>:</p> <p>اى وجود تواصل كلّ وجود – هستى و بودۀ و خواهى بود</p> <p>(an initial bait which has been closely imitated by Hilâlî in his شاه و گدا, see further below, Nos. 1426 – 1429); on fol. 1<sup>a</sup>, the author is called by mistake Thanâ’î instead of Bannâ’î. The right order of ff. 262-265 is: 262, 264, 263, 265.</p> <p>No. 273, ff. 269, 2 coll., each ll. 15; Nasta’lîḳ; collated throughout; size, 8<sup>1/8</sup> in. by 4<sup>3/8</sup> in.</p> <p><br> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
