معين The Mawáhib-i-Iláhí, a history of the Muzaffarí dynasty by Mu'ínu'd-Din
Yazdi. See Rieu's Persian Catalogue, pp. 168-169, and his Persian Supplement,
No. 50, p. 33. For a MS. dated 778/1377 (eleven years before the author's death)
see my Supplementary Hand-list, No. 1277, p. 211. This present MS. was
transcribed only a year later, in Sha'bán, 779 (December, 1377). It is written in
a large, clear, archaic nasta'liq with rubrications, and concludes with a prayer for
the reigning King Shah Shujá'. It appears at one time (1015/1606) to have
belonged to the well-known Turkish euphuist Waysi (Veysi).
