A commentary on the mathnawî, by Shâh Mîr Muḥammad Nûr-allâh Aḥrârî (see fol. 2a, l. 1), also called Akbarâbâdî (see Rieu ii. p. 592), who, if he is identical with the Mîr Nûr-allâh, mentioned, in Rieu ii. p. 604, as the master of ‘Abd-alrasûl alḳurashî, who submitted to him his commentary on the Bûstân, composed A.H. 1073 (A.D. 1662, 1663), must have been a younger contemporary of ‘Abd-allaṭîf, the editor and commentator of the same mathnawî, whom he often quotes and corrects. Other copies of this work are noticed in Rieu, loc. cit.; Bodleian Cat., No. 669, and A. Sprenger, Catal., pp. 495 and 496. Beginning: الحمد لله العلى الاعلى الوهّاب الذى انزل على عبده الكتاب هدى للمتّقين الخ. Daftar I, on fol. 2b. This daftar is incomplete, it breaks off on fol. 67b in consequence of a lacuna.

The second daftar is dated the 26th of Ramadân, A.H. 1158 (A.D. 1745, Oct. 22); the rest is without a date. All the introductions to the text, written in red on the first 144 leaves, are entirely omitted from fol. 145 down to the end.

Ṭayyibât (طيّبات), or pleasant ghazals, incomplete at the beginning; they open abruptly, on fol. 157a, in the middle of a poem rhyming in ى, thus: ماه رويا مهربانى پيش كن – خوب روئى را بايد زيورى (corresponding to No. 1121 in this Cat., fol. 310a, l. 8). Fourteen of these ghazals have been edited and translated by K. H. Graf in Zeitschrift der D.M.G., vol. 13, pp. 445-467. 6. Badâ’i’(بدائع), or ornate ghazals, on fol. 224b, beginning: الحمد لله ربّ العالمين على الخ. Ten of these ghazals have been edited and translated by K. H. Graf in Zeitschrift der D.M.G., vol. 15, pp. 541-554. 7. Khawâtîm (خواتيم), or signets, i.e. precious ghazals, on fol. 275b, beginning:يا رب از ما چه فلاح آید اگر تو نپذيرى الخ (corresponding to the initial bait of the same part in No. 782 of the Berlin Cat., p. 805, and to the beginning of the fifty-seventh or last ghazal of No. 45 in Rosen, Persian MSS., p. 195, note 5; in the Calcutta edition this pom is wanting). Seven of these ghazals have been edited and translated by K.H. Graf in Zeitschrift der D.M.G., vol. 15, pp. 554-564. 8. Ḳaṣâ’id-i-fârsiyyah ( قصائد فارسيّه), or Persian ḳaṣîdas, on fol. 310b, beginning: شكر و سپاس و متّت و عزّت خدايرا پروردگار خلق و خداوند كبريا Nineteen of these ḳaṣîdas have been edited and translated by K.H. Graf in Zeitschrift der D.M.G., vol. 9, pp. 92-135, and vol. 12, pp. 82-116. 9. Marâthî (مراثى), or elegies, on fol. 332b, beginning: آسمانرا حق بود گر خون بگرید ( بريزد copies other) برزمين بر زوال ملك مستعصم امير المؤمنين (corresponding to the initial bait of the same part in No. 682 in the Bodleian Cat., col. 529, and No. 783 in the Berlin Cat., p. 807; see No. 1121 in this Cat., fol. 194b, l. 1 sq.). 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 338a, 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. 335b and 336a 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. Graf, loc. cit., p. 574, where it is given in full text and translation. 10. Mulamma’ât ( ملمّعات), or poems with alternate Arabic and Persian verses, on ff. 338b, 333, and 334a, beginning, on fol. 338b: انّ هوى النّفس يقد العقال الخ ( corresponding to the Calcutta ed., fol. ٢٥٢ , see Bodleian Cat., col. 529, No. 15). 11. Muthallathât (مثلّثات), or one poem in three languages (Arabic, Persian, and Turkish), which usually forms the last part of the preceding collection, the ملمّعات ( see Bacher, Sa’dî-Studien, p. 88), on ff. 334b-335b, beginning: و اصلح الخ (other copies انجى) خليلى الهدى انجا. 12. Ḳaṣâ’id-i-’arabiyyah (قصائد عربيّه), or Arabic ḳaṣîdas, on ff. 336b and 339a-345b, beginning, on fol. 336b: حسبت لحفى (!) المدامع لا تحرى ( تجرى) الخ (Calcutta edition, fol. ٢٠٥). Between this and the following part there is inserted a Persian ghazal, rhyming in د, on fol. 346a, headed: فى المناجات و التضرعّ الى الله تعالى, and beginning: خداوندى چنین بخشنده داريم الخ. This ghazal is found in Calcutta edition (fol. ٣٢٨b) 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.) 13. Tarji’ât (ترجيعات), or refrain poems, on fol. 346b, beginning: اى سرو بلند قامت دوست وه وه كه جمائلت چه نیکوست (corresponding to the ترجيع بند in No. 683 in the Bodleian Cat., col. 530, No. 14). The usual beginning of this part, اى زلف تو الخ, is found here, on fol. 349a, l. 9. There is a lacuna after the last page, fol. 351b. 14. Muḳaṭṭa’ât ( مقطّعات), or ghazals, without the initial bait, on fol. 352b, beginning: گویند سعدیا بچه بطّال ماندۀ سختى مبر كه وجه كفافت معيّنست (corresponding to the initial bait of the same part in Elliott 220, fol. 399a, Bodleian Cat., col. 534, No. 19; and in No. 782 of the Berlin Cat., p. 805). 15. Majlis-i-Hazl (مجلس هزل), or the jocose meeting, a parody on the homilies in the second risâlah (see No. 2 in this copy), and sometime called the seventh risâlah (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). It is divided into three special sittings (مجلس), the first beginning here, on fol. 356b (quite differently from all other copies), thus: الحمد لله الذى جعل الحائك ذليلا و لحية طويلا الخ. The second مجلس begins, on fol. 357b, with exactly the same words; the third has no special heading. 16. Muṭâyabât (مطايبات), or jests, also called خبيثات, or obscene poems ( see Bacher, Sa’dî-Studien, p. 93), on fol. 360b, beginning with a short preface in prose: قال السّعدى الزمنى بعض ابناء الملوك أنْ اصنف له كتابا فى اللغو على الطريق السوزنىّ الخ. The first poem begins: خوش بود عيش با شكر دهنى الخ. 17. Rubâ’iyyât (رباعيّات), or quatrains, on fol. 366b, beginning: يرلغ بده اى خسرو خوبان جهان الخ. The usual initial poem هر ساعتم اندرون الخ is not found in this collection at all, which is, moreover without alphabetical arrangement. 18. Mufradât (مفردات), or detached distiches, on fol. 373b, 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). 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. The comic pieces in prose (مضحكات). The name of the copyist is Abûbakr bin ‘Alî bin Muḥammad; the date, as stated above, A.H. 728, first of Rajab; a former owner was Sir <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1585304">Harford Jones</a>, who presented this copy to the Library, and whose seal and signature (as Mr. Harford Jones, مستر هرفرد جنس), with the date, A.H. 1202 (A.D. 1787, 1788), appear on fol. 373a.

The preliminary words of this index (comp. on the various modifications of the text, Rosen, Persian MSS., pp. 176-180) run here in a very short and inconsistent way, thus, on fol. 2a margin: بدان كه اين ديوان مشتمل است بر هفت (؟ هشت) رساله و شانزده كتاب چنانچه در افواه عوامّ منتشرست وازین است كه گویند دبوان شيخ بيست و چهار كتاب است پس بدين ترتيب بنياد كرده بولا نهاده شد’.
