A.H. 707 (A.D. 1307, 1308), is due to a mistake, as the poet began in this year the memoirs of Niżâm-aldîn Auliyâ, styled فوائد الفؤاد, which he completed A.H. 720 (A.D. 1320); comp. Bodleian Cat., Nos. 780-783; Rieu ii. p. 618; W. Pertsch, p. 73, and Berlin Cat., p. 841; A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 18, No. 70, and p. 418; Cat. des MSS. et Xylographes, p. 356; J.

He tells us moreover, that he began composing poetry already in his thirteenth year, and continued it for fifty years, writing works both in prose and verse.

The chief subtlety is, that all the words of two and two, or three and three baits, written in red ink, form together a new distich, usually a mathnawî-bait, and every bait of this kind represents a different metre and a different tropical figure; for instance, from the first two baits of the ḳaṣîdah:</p> <p>صواى صفوت رويت بريخت آب بهار</p> <p>هواى جنّت كويت ببيخت مشك تتار</p> <p>اگر خبر زصفاى تو گلستان دارد</p> <p>گل از حياى رخت جاودان ندارد بار</p> <p>There springs this mathnawî-bait in the metre of هزج مثمّن سالم, and representing التّرصيع و الاشتقاق:</p> <p>صواى صفوت رويت صفات گلستان دارد</p> <p>هواى جنّت كويت حيات جاودان دارد،</p> <p>Besides, (I) all the initial letters of the baits give a ḳiṭ’ah of three distichs, containing a dedication to the Wazîr Ghiyâth-aldîn Muḥammad; (2) from the حشو, i.e. specially-selected letters, of the words in all the first hemistiches springs a ḳiṭ’ah of eight distichs, in which no <em>alif</em> appears; (3) from the حشو of the words in all the second hemistichs springs another ḳiṭ’ah of seven distichs, in which no diacritical point appears; and (4) by another arrangement of select letters, a ghazal of five distichs is formed. Comparing this ḳaṣîdah of Salmân’s with the above-mentioned three ḳaṣîdas of Ahlî Shîrâzî, it is evident that the latter based his poems on that of his predecessor to such an extent that it may almost be called a plagiarism.</p> <p>The other contents of the dîwân are:</p> <p>Ḳaṣîdas, tarjî’bands, and ḳiṭ’as, without any order, beginning abruptly, on fol.12<sup>a</sup>, in the middle of a poem (one leaf being left blank); the initial poem of the following copy (No. 2458), viz. در درج در عقيق الخ, is found here on fol. 30<sup>a</sup>. Ghazals, likewise without any order, on fol. 202<sup>b</sup>, beginning:</p> <p>تا تو دل در بند جان دارى و جان در بند تن</p> <p>چون مرا در خویش گیری در کنار خویشتن</p> <p>Rubâ’îs, on fol. 266<sup>b</sup>, beginning: اى كارگذاران الخ .</p> <p>Some words and whole lines are occasionally left blank, on ff. 19<sup>a</sup>, 19<sup>b</sup>, 84<sup>a</sup>, and 268<sup>b</sup>-274<sup>a</sup>.</p> <p>No date.

It is a collection of exceedingly interesting tales. At analysis, accompanied with extracts, appeared in the Asiatic Journal, vols. 35 and 36, 1841. Neither the <em>East India House</em> nor the British Museum possess a copy. I am told this is the only copy in Europe, therefore it is very valuable.’</p> <p>To rectify Mr. Greenwood’s statement, H.H. Wilson has added, March 1859, to the above remarks the following of his own, proving that this copy originally belonged to the India House, and must have been stolen from there and sold:</p> <p>‘A curious fiction-The MS. belongs to the Library of the East India House, as is evident from Mr. Falconer’s description.’</p> <p>Mr. W.A.
