Summary of Contents: ديوان صائب A good MS. of the Díwán of Sá'ib (d. 1088/1677-8), concerning whom see my Persian Literature in Modern Times, pp. 265-276. This MS., for the gift of which I am indebted to Sir John Tweedy, who kindly gave it to me on March 7, 1922, comprises 598 ff. of 25'6 x 13'5 c. and 17 ll., written in excellent ta'liq between borders ruled in blue and gold. The last written page (f. 597a) is in a coarser and apparently later hand, and seems to have been supplied to replace a lost leaf. It ends with a colophon dated 10 Shawwál, 1044/March 29, 1635. If this be correct the MS. was written not only during the poet's lifetime, but soon after he came at an early age from Persia to India.Physical Description
