[IO Islamic 3471] Jâmî's Second Dîwân

<ul> <li>Dîwân-i-Jâmî.</li> <li>This manuscript is now IO Islamic 1315 in the India Office collections.</li> <li>[metadata: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Hermann_Eth%C3%A9">Hermann Ethé</a>, <a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1323681">Catalogue of Persian Manuscripts in the Library of the India Office, </a><a href="http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1323681">2 vols. (Oxford: India Office, 1903): volume 1,</a> number 3471 here with notations and hyperlinks].</li> </ul> 1315 A defective copy of the same second dîwân. This dîwân is wrongly styled on the fly-leaf ديوان جامى جلد سيوم, as if it was the third dîwân; this mistake is simply due to the first page (fol. 1b) actually containing the beginning of the prose-preface of the third dîwân: بسم الله الرّحمن الرّحيم – طرفه خطابيست ز صفر(!) قديم But this preface breaks off at the end of the same page (corresponding to fol. 123b, l. 4 ab infra in the following copy), in consequence of a lacuna after fol. 1, and all the rest of the MS. contains the second dîwân, at least from fol. 2b, last line onwards, where a ḳaṣîdah begins: چیست آن شاهد الخ, corresponding to fol. 12b, l. 4, in the preceding copy; fol. 2a opens in the middle of a ḳaṣîdah, having باشد as رديف, which cannot be traced in other copies. The ḳaṣîdas (with one tarkibban) are continued as far as fol. 9b, l. 3 (ending exactly in the same way as the preceding copy); and on fol. 9b, l. 5, the first of the three unalphabetical ghazals begins: انّما الله الخ . The alphabetical ghazals begin, on fol. 10a: دى گذشتيم الخ. At the end the usual musammaṭ. Muḳaṭṭa’ât and rubâ’îs, on fol. 128a, beginning:جامى سخن الخ ; one half of fol. 3 and the whole of fol. 138a are supplied by a later hand. No date. No. 3471, olim 7. J. 16, ff. 138, 2 coll., each ll. 17; Nasta’lîḳ; illuminated frontispiece; size, 91/8 in. by 53/8 in.
