Some select elegies have been edited and published by K.H. Graf in Zeitschrift der D.M.G., vol. 15, pp. 564-576; the first half of this initial poem is found there on p. 572 sq. There is a lacuna after fol. 332, and the continuation of this part is found on ff. 337 and 338<sup>a</sup>, so that the whole collection here consists of two defective poems and one complete poem only, viz. the elegy on the death of Amir ‘Izz-aldîn Aḥmad; but on ff. 335<sup>b</sup> and 336<sup>a</sup> a second complete elegy is found which has by mistake been included in the مثلّثات, see further below, viz. the farewell to Ramaḍân ( فى وداع شهر رمضان), comp.

Between this and the following part there is inserted a Persian ghazal, rhyming in د, on fol. 346<sup>a</sup>, headed: فى المناجات و التضرعّ الى الله تعالى, and beginning: خداوندى چنین بخشنده داريم الخ. This ghazal is found in Calcutta edition (fol. ٣٢٨<sup>b</sup>) and in that of Cawnpore (p.72) among the طيّبات, whereas in No. 782 of the Berlin Cat., p. 805, it is the initial poem of the غزليّات قديم or early ghazals (which are entirely wanting in the present copy.)</p> <p>13. Tarji’ât (ترجيعات), or refrain poems, on fol. 346<sup>b</sup>, beginning:</p> <p>اى سرو بلند قامت دوست</p> <p>وه وه كه جمائلت چه نیکوست</p> <p>(corresponding to the ترجيع بند in No. 683 in the Bodleian Cat., col. 530, No. 14).

Majlis-i-Hazl (مجلس هزل), or the jocose meeting, a parody on the homilies in the <em>second risâlah</em> (see No. 2 in this copy), and sometime called the <em>seventh risâlah</em> (see, for instance, Bodleian Cat., col. 530 , No. 7; comp. Bacher, Sa’dî-Studien, p. 86); in some copies this part is styled هزليّات (see , for instance, Bodleian Cat., col. 528, No. 18), in others it is added to the following part, No. 16 (so in the Calcutta edition, ff. ٤٧٥-٤٨٠).</p> <p>It is divided into three special sittings (مجلس), the first beginning here, on fol. 356<sup>b</sup> (quite differently from all other copies), thus: الحمد لله الذى جعل الحائك ذليلا و لحية طويلا الخ.

The usual initial poem هر ساعتم اندرون الخ is not found in this collection at all, which is, moreover without alphabetical arrangement.</p> <p>18. Mufradât (مفردات), or detached distiches, on fol. 373<sup>b</sup>, beginning: بشكر آنك تو در خانۀ و اهلت پیش الخ. A few of the rubâ’iyyât and mufradât have been edited and translated by K.H. Graf in Zeitschrift der D.M.G., vol. 18, pp. 570-572. The Mufradât (or Fardiyyât) have been edited by Latouche (Zenker ii. 484).</p> <p>There are wanting in this oldest copy of the Kulliyyât of Sa’dî: 1.Risâlas 1 and 3-6; 2. The early ghazals (غزليّات قديم), see above, No. 12; 3. The famous epigrammatic poems, dedicated to the Ṣâḥib-dîwân (صاحبيّه); and 4.
