A third, in verse like the first, is noticed in Rieu ii. p. 580. A Latin translation by Salomon Negri, ib., loc. cit.</p> <p>5.Manṭiḳ-alṭair (منطق الطير), or the speeches of birds (see Bodleian Cat., Nos. 622, 13, etc., and 628-631; Rieu ii. pp. 576<sup>a</sup>, 578<sup>a</sup>, 816<sup>b</sup>, and 870<sup>b</sup>; W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., pp. 73 and 777 sq.; A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 354; and G. Flügel i. pp. 509 and 511), on fol. 113<sup>b</sup>, beginning:</p> <p>آفرين جان آفرين پاكرا</p> <p>آنكه جان بخشيد و ايمان خاكرا</p> <p>Edited by Garcin de Tassy, Paris, 1857; translated into French, 1863; lithographed, Bombay, A.H. 1280, and Lucknow, A.H. 1288. According to No. 904 (1043 below in this Cat.), the poem was composed A.H. 583 (A.D. 1187). Two Hindûstânî translations of the Manṭiḳ-alṭair are preserved in Nos. 2375 and 2817 (the latter in Dakhnî verses) of the India Office Collection. A Turkish commentary on the same was composed by Sham’î (see the preceding Pandnâma).</p> <p>6.Haft Wâdî (هفت وادى), or the seven valleys, i.e. the seven stages on the mystical road (see Bodleian Cat., No. 622, 9, etc.; and A.

According to the last hemistich, كه در ششصد نود نه شد تمام اين, which appears with exactly the same wording in the Bodleian copies just mentioned, this poem would have been composed in A.H. 699; but since such a date is impossible, we suggest, either to read پنجصد for ششصد (which would give A.H. 599=A.D. 1202, 1203), or better still, to substitute نوازده for نود نه (i.e. A.H. 619=A.D. 1222).</p> <p>9.Dîwân (ديوان), or lyrical poems, consisting of ḳaṣîdas, ḳiṭ’as, ghazals, and rubâ’îs, without alphabetical order (see A.

Pertsch, p. 86 (No. 52), and Berlin Cat., p. 717), on fol. 257<sup>b</sup>, beginning:</p> <p>بنام آنكه جانرا نور دين داد</p> <p>خرد را در خدادانى يقين داد</p> <p>It is divided here into nineteen maḳâlas (not twenty, as in Sprenger’s copy, loc. cit., nor twenty-five, as the heading of the last chapter might suggest); the last two maḳâlas, on ff. 283<sup>a</sup> and 284<sup>a</sup>, are respectively called the 24th and 25th, but that is a mere clerical error, since the immediately preceding one is correctly styled the 17th; the مقالۀ بیست چهارم therefore, on fol. 283<sup>a</sup>, is the 18th, الثامنة عشر , as No. 1096 (1033 below in this Cat.) correctly has on fol. 221<sup>a</sup>; and the مقالۀ بيست پنجم , on fol. 284<sup>a</sup>, is the 19th (نوزدهم).</p> <p>The last fifty-seven baits of this mathnawî are repeated on fol. 242<sup>a</sup> above (on the page immediately preceding the beginning of the مفتاح الفتوح), corresponding to fol. 285<sup>a</sup>, l. 12-fol. 285<sup>b</sup>, l. 13.</p> <p>13.Kanz-alḥaḳâ’iḳ (كنز الحقائق), or the treasury of verities (see Bodleian Cat., No. 622, 18, etc.; and A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 356),on fol. 285<sup>b</sup>, beginning with the same initial bait as the preceding بنام آنكه : اسرارنامه جانرا نور دين داد الخ .

Sprenger, Catal., p. 357; Stewart’s Cat., p. 61; W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., p. 111), on fol. 298<sup>b</sup>, beginning:</p> <p>الهى نامه را آغاز كردم – بنامت نامۀ را باز كردم</p> <p>15.Muṣîbatnâma (مصيبت نامه), or the book of affliction (see Bodleian Cat., No. 622, 12, etc.; Rieu ii. pp. 576<sup>b</sup>, 578<sup>b</sup>, and 816<sup>b</sup>; A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 349; W. Pertsch, p. 85 (No. 51), and Berlin Cat., pp., 101 and 781; G. Flügel i. p. 510; in C. J. Tornberg, p. 100, it is called نزهت نامه, and in one Bodleian copy, Bodleian Cat., 623, 17, also عقد المسافات), on fol. 351<sup>b</sup>, beginning with the same initial bait as the هفت وادى (No. 6 above):</p> <p>حمد پاک از جان پاك آن پاکرا</p> <p>كو خلافت داد مشت خاكرا</p> <p>16.Lisân-alghaib (لسان الغيب), or the tongue of mystery (mentioned in Stewart’s Cat., p. 60 and in Ouseley’s Notices of Persian Poets), on fol. 419<sup>b</sup>, beginning:</p> <p>اسم توحيد ابتداى نام اوست</p> <p>مرغ روح جملگى در دام اوست</p> <p>Other copies of this rare mathnawî are only found in No. 1096 (1033 in this Cat.) and in the Bodleian Library (Bodleian Cat., No. 622, 4; No. 623, 6; No. 624, 13; No. 625. 20; and No. 626, 2).</p> <p>17.Jawâhir-aldhât (جواهر الذات),also styled Jauhar-aldhât( جوهر الذات), and – most correctly – Jauhar-i-Dhât ( جوهر ذات, comp. W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., p. 780, note 1), or the essence of existence (see Bodleian Cat., No. 622, 3, etc.; Rieu ii. pp. 576<sup>b</sup> and 577<sup>a</sup>; W. Pertsch, Berlin Cat., loc. cit.; G. Flügel i. p. 513; A. Sprenger, Catal., p. 351). It is also styled جواهرنامه, see Rieu, loc. cit., and No. 1048 below, but comp. the remark in Haft Iḳlim, No. 733 (col. 431, ll. 5-8 in this Cat.). The present copy contains only the <em>first</em> of the <em>three daftars</em>, of which the mathnawî consists, comp. further below, Nos. 1046-1048. Beginning, on fol. 467<sup>b</sup>:</p> <p> </p> <p>بنام آنكه نور جسم و جانست</p> <p>خداى آشكارا و نهانست</p> <p>18.Mażhar-al’ajâ’ib (مظهر العجائب), or the exhibition of curiosities (see Bodleian Cat., No. 622, 5, etc.; Rieu ii. p. 579; A.

Of these famous Âl-i-Khujandî the Haft Iḳlim, Nos. 865 and 866 (see col. 441 above in this Cat.), mentions the two most prominent men, viz. Ṣadr-aldîn Khujandî, who was contemporary with Żahîr-aldîn Fâryâhi (see No. 971 above), and his son Jamâl-aldîn Khujandî; the poet must therefore have flourished towards the end of the sixth and the beginning of the seventh century of the Hijrah.
