Summary of Contents: دیوان عرفی Another MS. of the Diwán of 'Urfi, defective at beginning and end, given to
me by Dr Rizá Tevfiq (Ridá Tawfiq) in August, 1909. Though imperfect, this
MS. contains a much larger selection of Urfi's poems than the preceding one. It
begins in the middle of a qaşida with the verse: هيات متصور نشد آرامش و رم را
تا رایت عفو و غضبش سایه نیفکند In its present state the MS. (which appears to suffer from numerous dislocations
and lacunae) comprises 154 ff. of 16'8 x 9'5 c. and 15 ll., and is written in a small,
neat Persian ta'liq between gold lines. A colophon at the end of the ghazals on
f. 143 is ۱۰۷, which may be meant for 1007/1598-9, or 1070/1659-60.
