ZDMG = Zeitschrift der deutschen morMiilandischen Gesellschaft (Berlin), I n order to secure uniformity in references to the present catalogue, the following, abbreviation is r e c o m m e n d e d : I v P S (I) (i.e., first supplement to t h e catalogues of Persian MSS. in the collections of t h e Asiatic Society of Bengal). PREFACE. The present small volume is primarily a continuation of my •' Concise descriptive Catalogue of the Persian Manuscripts in the GiiTzon collection of the Asiatic Society of Bengal," Calcutta, 1926 (here abbreviated as IvC), and is intended, first of all, to deal with the latest acquisitions to the library of the Society. I t was, however, decided to include in it also notes on a number of other Persian manuscripts, either forming a small independent collection, or erroneously classified in the hand-lists as Arabic or Urdu works. These should properly have been dealt with in the first volume, i.e. in the ''Concise descriptive Catalogue of the Persian Manuscripts in the collection of the Asiatic Society of Bengal," Calcutta, 1924 (here abbreviated as IvASB), as it is concerned with the earlier collection of the Society, to which these manuscripts really belong. The present catalogue has thus become a supplement to both the above-mentioned publications. I t contains 168 descriptive notes dealing with 377 separate items, in 164 volumes. These may be arranged in six separate groups as follows : — 1. Persian MSS. which were purchased for the '* Curzon collection " during the period from the middle of 1925 (i.e. from the date on which the manuscript of my catalogue of the collection was closed), to the end of 1926. This group contains altogether 58 vols, (mark " I I I " ) , here Nos. : 758, 761, 762, 770, 772, 773, 775, 776, 777, 779, 781, 784, 787, 791, 792, 793, 794, 797, 800, 801, 802, 803, 804, 808, 810, 811, 812, 815, 816r 817, 824, 827, 831, 832, 833, 835, 837, 855, 857, 870, 873, 877, 879, 880, 894, 895, 896, 898, 900, 901, 904, 905, 906, 907, 909, 915, 916, 918. 2. A Persian MS. belonging to the earlier acquisitions for the '' Curzon collection," which had been misplaced (mark '' I " ) , here No. 903. 3. Persian MSS. which had been erroneously classed as Arabic MSS. in the Society's earlier collection. Altogether 49 vols, (mark '' Ar.

(The same, mark '' R ") : 822, 823, 842, 849, 850, 861. 4. Persian MSS. which had been erroneously included amongst the Urdu MSS. in the earlier collection of the Society. Altogether three vols, (mark ^ ' U ' ' ) , here Nos.: 767, 768, 769. 5. Persian MSS. belonging to the earlier Persmn collection of f « xn « PREFACE. the Society which were misplaced or otherwise inaccessible at time Altogether nine vols, (different marks according to their original designations), here Nos. : 843, S4-i, 845, 846, 847, 908, 921, 922, 924. 6. Persian MSS. belonging to the collection which was presented to the Society by the late Nawwab Ahmad 'Abdu'l-'Aziz K h a n Na'iti Madras!, WaU, ^ Aziz Jang, in 1907. Altogether 44 vols, (mark'^ A.J."), here Nos. : 757, 759, 760, 763, 764, 765, 766, 771, 774, 778, 780, 782, 783, 785, 786, 788, 789, 795, 796, 798, 799, 805, 806, 807, 809, 813, 814, 819, 820, 82L 825, 826, 828, 829, 854, 867, 868, 869, 872, 878, 890, 897, 899, 902, 917, 919, 923. The publication of this supplement to both the earlier catalogues presents an oj^portunity of supplying some necessary additional information with regard to them. The most necessary item is a list showing the number of folios in every volume described in the first catalogue (IvASB). As mentioned in its preface (pp. xxix-xxx), the great majority of the manusoripts in the library, which at the time was in a much neglected •condition, had no foliation. The shortness of the time allotted for the preparation of that catalogue precluded the possibility of foliation at the time of cataloguing. Matters have since considerably improved, chiefly due to the efforts of Mr. J o h a n vanManen, after he was elected General Secretary of the Society. This regrettable imperfection of my first catalogue has now been remedied by the insertion of a special list (see Appendix I, on p . 150). With regard to the technique of the catalogue there are only very few deviations here from t h a t of the preceding volume (IvC). They have been explained in the notes on technical details (see page xv). The rarer and notable items in the catalogue are also dealt with in a special note. I n conclusion, I wish to express my feelings of profound gratitude to those members of Council of the Asiatic Society who supported this undertaking, thus rendering a service to students Muha them there is no more urgent and important task at the moment than t h a t of bringing to light and of making a thorough and systematic survey of the literary inheritance of the past. I am particularly indebted to the General Secretary, Mr. J. van Manen. But for his continued interest in the work, even his personal labour in revising my English, this series of catalogues of all the Persian MSS. in the library of the Asiatic Society could not have come into existence, for many and varied obstacles, financial, technical and personal, had to be overcome before each of these volumes could appear. The 24:th April, 1927. Calcutta, W. IVANOW RARE WORKS IN THE COLLECTION.

Tahqiqii'lqawdnln (1262/1846), by Muhammad Hayran, on Persian grammar (No. 894), NOTES ON THE TECHNICAL DETAILS OF THE CATALOGUE. In order to facilitate the use of these descriptive notes, the explanations of technical details of the catalogue are here reprinted, with a few modifications, from the '' Concise Descriptive Catalogue of the Persian Manuscripts in the Carzon collection of the Asiatic Society of Bengal," Calcutta, 1926, pp. xxiii-xxviii. These alterations are chiefiy concerned with § II, 6 (e) and (/), to which attention is specially invited. I. GENERAL REMARKS. 1. D e s c r i p t i o n . In this collection every separate work is, as far as possible, described in a separate note. Exceptions have been made in the following cases:— (a) Volumes containing a collection of works of one author. (&) Collections of short works, dealing with the same subjects. (c) If two or more works, which are bound together, possess some kind of internal connection between themselves. [d) Fragments, short notes, scraps of all descriptions. 2. T r a n s l i t e r a t i o n . The system of transliteration remains the same as in the former Catalogues. I t represents the words according to their written forms, not according to their actual pronunciation. The vocalisation is given in accordance 'with the usages of good Persian, as at present spoken in Persia. I n Arabic words the same concession is made to the elementary principles of Arabic phonetics and grammar, in names containing the definite article J l . Being of no importance to people who know Arabic, they often mislead those who do not. Therefore, instead of 'Abd al Rahlm, as is given in different catalogues, the form of 'Abdu'r-Rahim is used, or in the Genitive case, with Ibn or Abu, forms like 'Abdi'r-Rahlm. The hamza (>) is marked only in the transliteration of Arabic expressions, given in their original Arabic form, not as loan-words in Persian. Therefore, e.g., the Arabic form is given as Tadhkiratu^l'awliya\ but the Persian form as Tadhkira-i-aivliya.

Wherever an accidental combination of consonants m a y lead to confusion with one of the aspirated letters used to render a simple consonant, the apostrophe ( ' ) is used (e.g. nuz'hat). Note 4. The dash (-) is used : (a) to join two different words whenever they form one compound word; (b) with the Arabic article J t * (c) with the Persian idafa: {d) with the Persian conjunction , when it is pronounced like ii after words ending with a consonant. II. T H E SYSTEM OF THE DESCRIPTIVE NOTES. 1. N u m b e r s . The serial numbers of the notes, which begin with 757, in continuation of the last number in IvC, do not coincide with the actual numbers of the MSS. on the shelves of the library. A special index (VII) is provided to show the correspondence of these library marks with the numbers given to the descriptive notes in the Catalogue. The library marks have been explained above, on pp. xi-xii. 2. Titles. Wherever the real title of a work has not been ascertained, or the work possesses none, a provisional designation is given within brackets. Lengthy titles are given in their abbreviated form in the headings, but mentioned in full in the text of the notes. 3. Dates, {a) All approximate dates are given in centuries; they are left without special expressions like 'probably,' 'apparently,' etc., even if conjectural. (fe) The dates of the reigns of rulers are given according to S. Lane-Poole, Muhammadan Dynasties (I have used the Russian translation with corrections by Prof. W. Barthold, St. Petersburg, 1899). TECHNICAL DETAILS OF THE CATALOGUE. xvii (c) In all oases in which the dates in the Muhammadan era are given with their equivalents in the Christian era, the former stand first, and the latter second, and the indications A.H, or A.D. are omitted. {d) Wherever not only the year of the Muhammadan era is given, but also the day of the month, the latter has been rendered into its equivalent according to Christian era, with the help of F . Wiistenfeld's Vergleichungs-Tabellen der Muhammedanischen und Christlichen Zeitrechnung. Leipzig, 1854. {e) In the indices, and in repetitions of the same date, when the year in Hijra era begins about the middle of the Christian year, and therefore coincides with portions of two years in the Christian era, only the second, the latter, is given, e.g. 881/14761477, is given in the indices as 881/1477. 4. References to various publications. In the descriptions of the works references are given in a uniform order:— {a) General ivories on Persian literature. (6) Catalogues of the Persian MSS. in different libraries, in so far as locally accessible. (The Catalogues of Indian libraries are mentioned separately in order to show immediately what other copies are within the reach of residents of India). (c) Critical editions, translations, or other publications. As the Society's library is very poor in this respect, the information given here is often based on earlier catalogues and other sources. (d) Whenever possible, references are given to Oriental editions. 5. Ouotations. In this Catalogue the principle is strictly followed that all quotations should be ' ' t r u e copies'' of their originals, with preservation of all peculiarities of orthography and mistakes. The copies of Indian origin, especially the more modern ones, show an amazing carelessness, inconsistency in orthography, and ignorance of Persian and Arabic grammar on the part of their scribes. As the collection consists almost entirely of modern Indian copies, it was impossi most striking ones are here marked with a (sic). M S S . In the pre6. Description of the appearance sent Catalofifue all information concerning fully separated from that about the work itself, and is printed in small type. As far as possible a strictly uniform order has been followed in these descriptions :— (a) The date of the MS., exact or approximate, the name of the scribe, the place of copying, and any other details connected may m XViii TECHNICAL DETAILS OF THE CATALOGUE. (6) Number of folios. If the work described in the note does not occupy the whole of the volume, but only a p a r t of it, an asterisk is placed before the number of folios which contain it. (c) The measurements of the page, and of the place occupied b y the text (abbreviated as S = size), are here given in inches, with a precision to within a quarter of an inch. {d) Number of lines (11) on a page, and information as to the jadwals, or border lines. This detail has been added as it is often essential for the identification of a copy. (e) Quality of paper (pap.) mostly only distinguished as Oriental (Or.), or European (Eur.), unless specially identified. As this is not sufficient for a decisive identification of the copy, further information is given by adding micrometric measurements of the thickness of the paper. The leaves are measured, with a precision to within 0,01 mm., in batches of 10 (or, when not available, of 5). Special care has been taken t h a t the actual thickness should be given; leaves with worm holes, or pasted over with additional paper, have been avoided. If a volume consists of a collection of short copies transcribed on different kinds of paper, as in the case of some scrap majmu'as, no measurement is given.^ An abbreviated formula is used, as for instance: '^ thickness (of) 10 (leaves) = 0 , 6 2 m m . " (/) General type of the handwriting.' This is usually mereJy described as nasta'Uq or sJiikasta, etc., with some appropriate epithet; good, bad, bold, minute, etc. This method does not convey any definite criterium and is not reliable or precise. To improve upon this the experiment is here made of measuring the thickness of the line. I t s ' b o d y ' is constituted by letters which do not possess long ' protruding ' strokes. These do not normally exceed the height of an alif; the average height of the space, occupied by these letters, is taken as the ' thickness' of the written line. The average limit reached b y the * protruding' strokes, such as those of u J , ., ^ , constitutes the '* outer thickness." ^ So, if a line is measured as 3 x 1 0 mm,, it means that its body is not higher than 3 mm., and t h a t the distance between the top of a u-T to the end of the lower stroke of a ^ is 10 mm., on the average. 1 The experiment shows t h a t the measurement of t h e thickness of the paper in a MS. furnishes decisive and reliable d a t a for an identification of a copy. There is a great variation in t h e kinds of h a n d m a d e paper used which gives almost each naanuscript a distinct individuality. I would therefore recommend the introduction of such measurement in MS. catalogues generally. 2 This limit rarely coincides with the space alloted to each line, for there may be either some blank space between t h e upper limit of one and t h e lower limit of the next hne, or the ends of letters ' i n t r u d e ' into t h e space belonging to the next line, especially in untidy shikasta-like handwriting.

Those in heavy type indicate t h a t the person in question is the author, or translator, editor, commentator, etc., of the work described under the number. (2) I n order to make the alphabetical sequence as strict as possible only the essential parts of the names are taken into consideration. All honorific titles, initials in European names, etc., are disregarded as well as other expressions which do not constitute the principal part of a name, unless there are special reasons for treating them otherwise.

Great care has been taken to prevent these words from upsetting the alphabetical sequence of the principal names. They are either omitted or transferred behind the essential parts of the names. The kunyas, when they do not constitute the real name of a person, have been included in brackets, or within commas, but disregarded in the alphabetical arrangement. (3) For reasons of economy of space, names, repeated in several entries, are only once printed in full heavy type, in the first entry and replaced by a hyphen in the following entries. One hyphen corresponds to one name only, except in those composed with 'Ahd-, Abu-, and -Allah, -Daula, -Din, -Mulk, which are treated as one single word, (4) The abbreviations used in the indices are also given in the general list on pp. vii-ix.

They 26 . EPISTOLARY MODELS, OFFICIAL L E T T E R S , ETC were extracted, judging from the heading, from various works on inshd: r Some of them are official letters, b u t private correspondence predominates. The majority of the letters belong to the begining of Aurangzib's reign (cf. f. 20, etc.). The collection is incomplete at the end. There is no preface and no mention of the name of the compiler. The first letter is addressed to 'AH Mardan Khan : 2. (£E. 25v-83v). {InsM-i'Dawlatmand Khan). An incomplete copy of the correspondence of Dawlatmand K h a n , collected and arranged by J a n Muhammad (f. 25v). The latter has also contributed an introduction containing the biography of the author with details concerning his origin and ancestors. The author (cf, also about him the Ma^dthiruH-umard\ Bibl. Indica, vol, I, pp. 413-414, or H. Beveridge's translation, vol. I, pp. 3 5 1 357) belonged to a zamindari family in Baglana (<u^X>), near Gujrat, and had the hereditary title of Bharajl ( ? y^'^-j^^.)* Later on he was converted to Muhammadanism by order of Shahjahan ; he was given the title of Dawlatmand K h a n , and some post, and died in 1106/1694-1695 (see f. 32v, chronogram i^U^ v^::^^^ ^^l^). The work has therefore been compiled after this date, probably not long after it. The letters are arranged in the usual way : first are given those to kings, etc., and at the end letters of condolence, all in florid and bombastic style. Although there are no headings in the text itself (space has been left, probably to be filled in red ink), some are given on the margins. On the last folio (83v) there is written C J ^ J K ^ S.L. , which may mean t h a t the book is almost complete and t h a t only the concluding passage is missing. Beg.

On the first leaf the title of the treatise is given as ^AqaHd-i-Farsi, and the work is ascribed to 'Abdu'1-Haqq DihlawJ (d. ca. 1053/1643), This seems entirely imaginary; the note also has nothing to do with the well known TakmUu^l-lmdn, of t h a t author, dealing with similar matters (cf.

A controversial treatise defending the correctness of the beliefs of the famous Shi'ite divine, Ahmad b. Zayni'd-din Ibrahim b . Saqur b. Ibrahim b . Daghir b . Rashid al-Ahsa'i (f. 21). He lived in Yazd and Kirman, then came to Tihran, in the reign of Fath-^Ali-Shah Qajar (1211-1250/1797-1834); then went to Mashhad, and Mesopotamia, was accused of heresy, and died on his pilgrimage to Mekka in 1240/1824-1825 (see f. 80, where the date is given as I t'f d.x^ ). The author, his follower, Muhammad Husayn b . 'Ali Akbar Kirmani, surnamed Muhit (f. 5v), wrote this book apparently very shortly after Ahsa'i's death ; judging from the terms in which he mentions Fath-'Ali-Shah, the work must 57 *AQA'ID. have been compiled within the latter's reign, i.e. before 1250/ 1834 (cf. f. 35v). The treatise is written in stilted florid language ; it contains a laudatory biography of Ahsa'i (fif. 2 1 80), and the second half of the book is devoted to the different subtleties of theology in which Ahsa^i deviated from the opinions of the majority of the Shi'ite clergy. The author mentions t h a t he originally wrote this book in Arabic (f. 5), but had rewritten it in Persian in order to facilitate its use by those not strong in Arabic. Unfortunately, he does not give the exact title or the date of composition of his treatise. On f. 1 it would appear that the title is Dalllul-mutahayyirln, which seem a quite probable one. The work gives much interesting information about the life of the Persian clergy at the period.

On f. 160, bottom, he mentions his father, Nuru'd-din Muhammad Muhammadi Suhrawardi, a disciple of Muhammad-i-'Abdu'Mah Darwish, of Purani, near Ahmadabad; the'latter died the 29th Muharram 1098/the 15th Dec. 1686, of. the Ta'rlkh-i-Burhanpur (lith.

Historisk-filologiske Meddelelser, I I I , 4, Kobenhavn, 1920. Apparently another Persian version of the same is described in Pr 304(2), and an Arabic original (?) in Gotha 771(3). The present copy is slightly incomplete in the beginning, where it is stated t h a t the work is a translation from the Arabic (the author's name is not given), by 'Abdu'l-'Ali (in Christensen's copy 'Abdu'1-lah) b, Muhammad b. Husayn, and t h a t this Persian paraphrase was prepared in 926/1520. This date is apparently omitted in A. Christensen's copy. If the date is correct, the translator may perhaps be identical with the famous astronomer, Nizamu'd-din 'Abdu'l-'Ali b. Muhammad b. Husayn Birjandi (d. ca. 930/1524), the commentator of Ulughbeg's astronomical tables, etc. I t is strange, h o w e v e r / t h a t his name is pre- 110 SCIENCES AND ARTS. ceded neither by the terms of polite self-humiliation (like In da'lf, faqlr, haqir, etc.), nor b y honorific titles, which should have been used if the actual editor was different from the translator. The work contains four muqaddimas \ the 1st (f. Iv), on the spiritual advantages of reading the Coran; the 2nd (f. 2v), on its adabs; the 3rd (f. 4v), on the extent of the Coran; the 4th (f. 5v), on prayers to accompany recitation. The reviews of the suras begin on f. 10. There is a kind of khdtima on ff. 188v-190. Many references to Imam Ja'far Sadiq and Abu'l-'Abbas Buni, i.e. Muhyi'd-din Abu'l-^Abbas Ahmad b. ^Ali al-Buni (d. 622/1225), the well-known mediaeval authority on occultism.
