Summary of Contents: دیوان محیی A small, neatly written MS. containing the Diwán of a poet using the pen-name
of Muhyi (so scanned, though generally written Muhi,محی), but described in the
colophon as that of Abú Muhammad Muhyi'd-Din Shaykh 'Abdu'l-Qadir-i-Gilani.
This celebrated saint died in 561/1165-6, and is certainly not the author of these
much more modern poems. The real author is probably Muhyi of Lár (d. circa
933/1526-7), whose Futuhu'l-Haramayn has been similarly ascribed to Shaykh
'Abdu'l-Qádir. See Rieu's Persian Catalogue, p. 655. The first ghazal begins: بینی از خون جگر آب زده خانه ما
کر بیائی بسر تربت ویرانه ما The Diwán concludes with sixteen quatrains. Ff. 32 of 17 x 11 c. and 13 ll.; small, neat ta'liq. The MS. appears from the
colophon to have been copied for a certain Husní Efendi of the Naqshbandi Order
of Dervishes in 1162/1749.Title: Dīvān-i MuḥyīTitle: ديوان محيیIn the colophon, this work is wrongly ascribed to ʻAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī, d. 1166 عبد الفادر الجيلاني .
