Summary of Contents: جواهر الاسرار ، شرح المثنوى A well-known commentary on the Mathnawi of Jalálu'd-Dín Rúmí entitled
Jawahirul-Asrar ("Gems of Mysteries ") by Husayn ibn Hasan of Khwarizm
(d. 849/1436-7). See Rieu's Persian Catalogue, p. 588; Ethé's Bodleian Persian
Catalogue, col. 519; etc. This MS., like Add. 14,051 of the British Museum,
contains the usual introductory matter and ten preliminary discourses, followed
by the commentary on Book 1 (f. 46%), Book II (f. 132), and Book III (f. 196').
Whether the commentary on the three remaining books was ever written I do not know. This MS. fell to my share in the third partition of the Belshah MSS. in the
spring of 1920. It comprises 306 ff. of 28.3 x 18'5 c. and 25 ll.; small, neat ta'li
with rubrications; transcription completed in Jumádà 11, 1066/April, 1656.
