Summary of Contents: قصائد منوچهری Another copy of the above given to me by Dr Rizá Tevfiq (Rida Tawfiq) in
August, 1909, on one of his visits to England. It appears to agree with the last,
and begins with the same biography of the poet. It comprises 140 ff. of 19'9 x 12'5 C.
and 15 ll., and is written on tinted paper, between borders ruled in gold and red,
in a good clear ta'liq with rubrications. At the end of the prose Introduction the
copyist, Muḥammad Rashid, states that he began to transcribe it on Muharram
22, 1295/Jan. 26, 1878, intending to present it, together with the Diods of Yaghmá,
to the Fakhru'l-Ulamá. In the colophon on f. 138a he states that he completed it
on the 2nd of Rabi' 1 (March 6) of the same year, and asks consideration from the
reader for any errors he may detect on the ground of the badness of his original
and his own inadequate knowledge of literature: چون مواد چندانی ندارم و نسخه همخیلی غلط بود مستدعیم از ملاحظه کنندگان از غلط
او چشم بپوشند و به تصحيح او بکوشند والسلام
