Summary of Contents: الدرر النفيسة في الحكمة الطبيعية An acephalous super-commentary on a commentary on a treatise on Natural
Philosophy entitled ad-Duraru'n-Nafisa, copied in Shiraz, in the Daru'l-Aytam,
or Orphanage, from the author's autograph in 885/1480-1. This unattractive little MS., from the last division of the Belshah collection,
comprises in its present state 164 pp. of 18'4 x 13 c. and 21 ll. The writing is a
minute ta'liq, entirely devoid of diacritical points. Some pages are missing at the
beginning and between the present pp. 58 and 59. There are no rubrications or
divisions into chapters, and the book appears to be of no value.
