Summary of Contents: بستان با شرح سودی The Bustán, with the Turkish translation and commentary of Súdí the Bosnian,
who died in or after Shawwál, 1006/May, 1598, when he completed this work.
See Rieu's Turkish Catalogue, pp. 158-159, and Flugel's Vienna Catalogue,
vol. 1, p. 541. This MS. was one of my earliest acquisitions, and was, I think, bought from
Quaritch about 1883. It comprises 176 ff. of 20 x 14 c. and 27 ll., and is written in
a legible but ungraceful Turkish ta'liq with rubrications, the Persian text also being
overlined with red. It was copied by one Aḥmad ibn Bálí and completed in Jumádá
11, 1065/April May, 1655.
