An incomplete vocabulary of Persian infinitives with an interlinear Turkish paraphrase; but the latter unfortunately appears on the first nine leaves only; all the remaining leaves contain the bare list of Persian verbs arranged in alphabetical order and having a great resemblance to although much shorter than the first bab of the preceding läll älg. It begins with هشتنه and ends with the first infinitive, يرتق = آفريدن.

Language(s): Ottoman Turkish

Another slightly defective copy of İbrāhīm Şāhidī's versified Persian-Turkish vocabulary, which was composed A. H. 920=A. D. 1514, see above, Nos. 1692-1696, and comp. besides the authorities quoted there, W. Pertsch, Berlin Persian Cat., pp. 208 and 209; Rieu, Turkish Cat., p. 139 sq., and Lagarde, Persische Studien, pp. 29-32. There are fifteen beyts wanting here at the beginning. The first beyt appearing here, on fol. 1a: خصوصا علم ربانی که سلطان جلال الدین دیمشدر مغز قرآن corresponds to Laud Or. 195 (No. 1692 above), fol. 28, 1. 8.
