Summary of Contents: تحفة الاحرار جامی دیوان ریاضی This MS., bought of J. J. Naaman for £2. 10s. 0d. in May, 1905, bears on
f. 1ª a seal which a marginal note declares to be that of the Ottoman Sultán Salím,
called "the Grim" (Yawúz). It comprises 88 ff. of 19'8x11'9 c. and 15 ll., is written
in a small, neat ta'liq with rubrications, and is divided into two parts, separated by several blank leaves (ff. 64-68), of which the first only has a colophon, giving
886/1481 as the date of completion. [The completion of the poem is evidently meant, Jámí's original colophon having been copied from
the archetype.] These two parts contain: I. The Tuhfatu'l-Ahrár of Jámí (b. 817/1414, d. 808/1492), of whom a full
account is given in my Persian Literature under Tartar Dominion (pp. 507-548),
with a short notice of this book (pp. 526-528). The text has been edited by Forbes
Falconer. This occupies ff. 1-63 of the MS. II. Another copy of the Diwan of Riyadi of Samarqand (ff. 68-88), beginning
like V. 39 supra.
