Summary of Contents: دیوان امیر معزی A neat modern MS. of the poems of Amir Mu'izzí, the poet-laureate of Sultán
Sanjar the Saljuq, who died about 542/1147-8. See vol. II of my Literary History
of Persia, pp. 327-330, etc. This MS., obtained from the Belshah collection in January, 1921, comprises
248 ff. of 19'5 x 12'5 c. and 16 ll. It is written in a small, neat Persian ta'liq, and
was completed on the 19th of Jumádà II, 1252/Oct. 1, 1836. A blank line has been
left at the head of each qasida in which the copyist, son of Mashhadí 'Ali Akbar of
Ashtiyán and Qum, probably intended to insert in red ink the name of the patron
to whom it is dedicated.Physical Description
