MS. Turk. c. 7 (Bodleian Library, Oxford University)

References

This manuscript contains the dēbāča of Badāyi‘u l-bidāya, followed by two and a half blank pages, followed by excerpts from two other divans of Nawā'ī, followed by another section of Badāyi‘u l-bidāya. Kut (2003: 105 § 153) includes this in her entry for the following work in this manuscript under the heading غراٸب الصغر Ġarā'ibu l-ṣiġar, though she does acknowledge that some parts do seem to belong to other divans of Nawā'ī.

The title in the headpiece is given as دیوان بحر رمل Dīwān-i baḥr-i raml, which is not known to be a title of any of Nawā'ī's works. In fact, the section of the manuscript beginning with this work and ending with an excerpt from Nawā'ī's فواٸد الکبر Fawā'idu l-kibar mixes parts of various divans of Nawā'ī with no headings. Furthermore, the fact that the different divans begin and end on the same folios in some instances indicates that the manuscript has not been pieced together from other, more cohesive parts, bust was composed as a mixture of multiple works. One page of text from فواٸد الکبر Fawā'idu l-kibar sits on a separate folio found much later in the manuscript; however, since it is the only text on that folio, and since the preceding folio ends with a final rubric تم, this may very well simply have been placed in the wrong section during re-binding.

This work begins on the eleventh line of folio 150a. The present excerpt comprises only the مفردات mufradāt section at the end of the work, but appears to contain that section in its entirety. Note that the next item in the mauscript also begins with an excerpt from the same work, however this has its own headpiece and appears to have been intended as a separate section.

References

This section contains ghazals and rubais from at least two of the divans of Nawā'ī's four-part خزاٸن المعانی Ḫazā'inu l-ma‘ānī, mixed in no discernable order. Most are ghazals from فواٸد الکبر Fawā'idu l-kibar, though some are stranger, such as the second ghazal which combines two ghazals of similar form from بدایع البدایه Badāyi‘u l-bidāya. Note that folio 156 which follows belongs to a different work, i.e. غراٸب الصغر Ġarā'ibu l-ṣiġar (see above).

References

The text stops after the musaddas of the third qism . According to Kut (2003: 106 § 155) it also appears to be missing some ghazals between folios 164b and 165a.
