Summary of Contents: ديوان الشريف الرضي A very modem MS., copied in Baghdad in 1283/1867, of the Dfwds of ash-
Sharif ar-Radí (b. 359/970; d. 406/1015), concerning whom see Brockelmann, 1,
p. 82. It was transcribed for his own use, as stated in a note on f. 1ª, by Anşárí-
záda Hasan al-Qádirí, a Treasury official during the governorship of Muhammad
Námiq Pasha. Begins: هذا ما الفه وصنّفه الرضى رضى الله عنه من الشعر ويبداء فى كل قافية بالمدايح والتهالي ثم
بالافتخار وشكوى الزمان ثم بالمراثى والزهد الخ A brief account of the Sharif's genealogy, with the dates of his birth and death,
follows, and then (f. 2) the first poem, beginning: جزاء امير المؤمنين ثنائيعلى نعم ما تنقضى وعطائي
The MS., obtained at the final division of the Belshah collection in November,
1920, comprises 297 ff. of 20'4 x 14'8 c. and 27 ll., and is neatly written in a small
and fairly legible naskh. In the colophon the copyist gives his name as Husayn ibn
Amín al-Qá'imí al-Baghdádí, and states that he completed his work on Ramadán
6, 1283/Jan. 12, 1867.
