RAS Persian 221. (Library, Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland)
Persian Manuscripts
Contents
1 copy of Naubahar i 'Ajam by Khwajah Muhammad Mir.
First folio, recto, stamp, the name entered in ink: Presented to the ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY by John Romer, Esq. A dictionary of phrases, etc. The author tells us that he pursued the study of literature in Shahjahanabad and then in Iran for seventeen years. The dictionary has many poetic citations which may give it value. This is probably the author's original fair copy and may be unique. Headings and punctuation in red. Scribe is apparently the author. The colophon is that of the original author, who most probably wrote out the manuscript.
