Summary of Contents: قصائد منوچهری A very neat, modern MS. of the poems of Minúchihrí, copied in Bombay in
1290/1873 for a certain Ismá'íl Khán. The text appears to agree with that published
by A. de Biberstein Kazimirski with a French translation and critical and historical
Introduction in Paris in 1886-7. The text was also lithographed in Persia in
1297/1880. The poems are preceded by a short account of the poet in prose
(ff. 1-3). This MS., which I obtained from the Nawwáb Mírzá Husayn-qulí Khán, the
well-known Persian diplomatist, about 1884, when he was a student in London,
comprises 132 ff. of 19'9 x 12 c. and 12 ll., and is written in a very elegant Persian
nim-shikasta with rubrications.
