F. 37 (University Library, Cambridge University)
E. G. Browne Collection
Contents
Summary of Contents: A third copy of the Diwánu'l-Azal, which, though considerably fuller than the
last, is also incomplete and ends abruptly. It comprises 380 ff. of 19'4 × 12 c. and
14 ll. and is written in the same large, clear naskh hand as the last, but contains no
indication of the date of acquisition, though it too reached me from Cyprus. Of
these three MSS. F. 35 only is complete, for it comprises 551 ff., and the end of
F. 37 (which is less defective than F. 36) corresponds to f. 355, 1. 12, so that
F. 35 contains nearly 200 ff. more than F. 37. Before the title F. 35 has omitted by the other two MSS., but all three agree in what بسم الله الأمنع الأقدس لا اله روح الاحتجاج الا الله ديوان الأزل اهيه بسمه المتعالى المحبوب follows, viz.: سبحان من أظهر وجهه بالهدى والحق وآتاكم ذكرى ورحمة وبعث نفسه نقطة الاولى وأمركم أن تتبعوا آيات البيان الخ
