Summary of Contents: جام جم اوحدی A good, neatly written MS. of the Jam-i-Jam ("Cup of Jamshid ") of Awḥadi
of Marágha, who died about 738/1337-8. See my Persian Literature under Tartar
Dominion, pp. 141-146, where reference is made (p. 141, n. 2) to this MS.
This MS., bought for £4. 10s. 0d. from J. J. Naaman on May 7, 1903, comprises
154 pp. of 24 x 14 c. and 15 ll., is written in a large, clear ta'liq between margins
ruled in blue and gold, and is dated Dhu'l-Hijja, 916/March, 1511. This may,
however, be the date of the original from which it was copied, as the present MS.
looks a good deal more modern.
