The present copy, which is the author’s autograph (comp. fol. 1<sup>a</sup>: حرّره و سوّده عبداللطيف بن عبدالله الخ), was finished by him the 20th of Jumâdâ-alawwal, A.H. 1044 (A.D. 1634, Nov. 11), and represents an abridgment from a larger commentary of his, the لطائف الحدائق, from which also the glosses are taken (marked by لط). According to the dibâća he began the larger work A.H. 1040 and completed it A.H. 1042 (A.D. 1630-1633), supported by his friend Mîr ‘Imâd-aldîn Maḥmûd al-Hamadânî, with the takhalluṣ Ilâhî, the author of the well-known taddhkirah of Persian poets, the خزينۀ گنج (see A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 66 sq.). Sprenger’s remarks in the note on p. 558 of his Catal., that ‘Abd-allaṭif borrowed the copy, described there, in A.H. 1035 = A.D. 1625, 1626, transcribed, collated, and annotated it, can only refer therefore to the very beginning of the author’s critical labours on Sanâ’î’s text, from which afterwards the two exegetical works in question sprung.</p> <p>Contents:</p> <p>Sanâ’î’s preface, on fol. 1<sup>b</sup>, beginning: سپاس و ستايش الخ, introduced by a few lines from ‘Abd-allaṭif’s pen, on fol. 1<sup>a</sup>: اين ديباچه است كه صاحب طبع سليم الخ.</p> <p>Editor’s preface, styled ديباچۀ مختصر بر شرح ابيات (the meaning of which is explained on fol. 11<sup>a</sup>: ديباچۀ مختصر که از جملۀ چهارچمن شرح لطائف الحدائق بر چمن نخستين شرح ابيات تحرير يافته), on fol. 11<sup>b</sup>, beginning: بر ناقدان بصير و صيرفيان خبير رستۀ بازار ملك صورت و معنى مخفى و مستور نماند كه الخ.</p> <p>Short account of Ilâhî’s share in this work and two ta’rîkhs on the date of its completion by the same Ilâhî, on fol. 13<sup>b</sup>, beginning: چون پاکیزه میوۀ باغ اصطفا و كرامى گوهر کان اجتبا سامی نتیجۀ دودمان الخ.</p> <p>Beginning of Bâb I of the Ḥadîḳah, on fol. 17<sup>b</sup>: اى درون الخ, again introduced by a few lines from the editor’s pen, on fol. 17<sup>a</sup>, in which he enumerates his authorities, viz. the Ḳâmûs, the Ṣurâḥ, and other famous Arabic and Persian dictionaries, grammars, etc.</p> <p>(لغات عربى و فرهنگهاى معتمد فارسى و قواعد نحوى و قوانين صرفى).

Bodleian Cat., col. 287, No. 744); how to reconcile this date with Muḥammad bin ‘Alî al-Raffâ’s and Jâmi’s statement, that the poet died in A.H. 525 (A.D. 1131), is not clear, but as the second mathnawî of this collection was composed A.H. 528 (A.D. 1134), and as many good copies of the حديقه give A.H. 534 or 535 (A.D. 1139-1141) as the date of composition for that mathnawî, there seems to be very good evidence for the correctness of the view taken by the two above-mentioned tadhkiras.
