Contents
Summary of Contents: A copy of the above-mentioned Qiyámat-náma labelled with the title of the
book and name of the author as above in the Arabic character, under which is
written in English "adequately copied from an old Manuscript by Dr Riza." On
the other cover the book is labelled in English, "Quotations (3rd Book) on
Ontological Questions." The book is an ordinary note-book of 20'2 x 16'6 c. and
18 ll., of which 62 leaves (about half the book) are written on, but on one side
only, so far as the poem is concerned, the opposite page being reserved for notes
and comments, which, however, have only been supplied in a few cases (e.g. on
p. 57). Shorter notes in Turkish are placed beside and beneath the text. The
book was given to me by Dr Ridá (Rizá) Tawfiq at the same time as E. 7, the
original from which it was evidently copied, as shown by the following calculation
of the time required for copying the poem: قيامتنامه هر گون بش صحيفه استنساخ ايدلمك و هفته ده درت كون مشغول اولمق شرطیله طقوز هفته ده اتمام ایدیله بیله جکدر This indicates an original of 180 pp., and this poem in E. 7 actually fills 186 pp.
