Summary of Contents: مقطعات ابن يمين A neat little manuscript of the "Fragments" (Muqaṭṭa'át) of Amir Maḥmúd ibn
Yamíni'd-Dín (d. 769/1367-8), commonly called Ibn-i-Yamín, a notable poet of the
Sarbadárí court. His father, Amir Yamínu'd-Din, settled at Faryúmad in the reign
of the Mongol Khudá-banda, and died in 724/1324. See my Persian Literature
under Tartar Dominion, pp. 211-222. An edition of the "Fragments" (but much
less extensive than this MS.) was printed at Calcutta in 1865, and a German
verse-rendering of many of them by Schlechta-Wssehrd was published at Vienna
in 1852. This MS., concerning the acquisition of which I have no note, comprises 142 ff.
of 13,3 x 7,8 c. and 11 ll., and is written in a small and beautiful ta'liq with headings
in blue. The transcription was completed on Rajab 5, 881/October 24, 1476.
