Summary of Contents: کتاب ملا پریشان A little volume given to me by the Rev. W. St Clair Tisdall on July 24, 1912,
containing a Kurdish mathnawi poem of about 500 verses, beginning : من ژ بسم الله من ژ بسم اللهابتدا مكم من ژ بسم الله
پریشان نامه ذكر مكم الله
نه آرای هر کس پی قافی الله
لا رطب و لا يابس الا في كتاب
کتاب درج و حمد و فصل الخطاب
حمد و بسم الله مندرج بین
او نیز ژ پای باغ هزار گل چین

The title, Kitáb-i-Mullá Paríshán, is given in the colophon on f. 21, also the
copyist's name, Mírzá Muhammad Kázim Fílí of the Sa'dawand tribe, who wrote
it for an ecclesiastic named Áqá Bahá'u'd-Din, apparently in 1302/1884-5.
Ff. 21 of 14'2 x 9'5 c. and 13 ll.; clear though rather inelegant naskh.
