Summary of Contents: This volume, which is in an entirely different handwriting to the preceding ones
(an indifferent ta'liq), is dated in the colophon 3 Jumádà 11, 1236 (March 8, 1821),
and comprises 175 ff. of 33'6 x 21 c. and 23 ll. It contains the reign of Shah Şafi
(A.H. 1038-1052, A.D. 1629-1642) and of 'Abbás II down to 1071/1660-1, omitting
the last six or seven years of his life. The title Khuld-i-Barin only occurs in
a note of acquisition (in 1271/1854-5) on f. a, and in the opening words of the
second part (f. 94"): از حدایق پر گل و شقایق روضهٔ هشتم از روضات جنان خُلد برین From these words it also appears that this volume contains the continuation of
Rawda viii. A long account of the eminent men of Sháh Şaff's reign, including
men of learning, occupies ff. 81-93%, and includes short biographies of Mír Dámád,
Abu'l-Qásim Findariski, and Mullá Şadrá.
