the nature of the scriptures and the purpose of the Prophet's mission ; composed 
A.H. 1185-86 by the well-known Carnatic poet, called Moulana Muhammad Baqir

Carnatic ostfU/ ^^ Jj w hi h was begun in A.H. 1210 and completed between A.H. 
1244-48 (a very rare copy of which and perhaps the only one extant, is noticed in the 
A.S.B. Supp. Catal. Vol. I, No. 776), places the date of the poet's death in Til-haj» 
A.H. 1231-November, A.D. 1816. Agah's life, his works, his reputation as a Per- 
sian, Arabic and Dakhani poet and writer, his verstality and his mastery over all 
these languages are too well-known to be mentioned. It is estimated that during 
his life time, he produced more than three hundred works and composed not les B 
than a hundred thousand verses. Some of his works have recently been discovered. 
A rare Arabic Ms. containing his letters addressed from the Court of the Nawab 
of Arcot to the Amir of Arabia, is known to be in the pos ,sion of Moulana 
Dr. <Abd al-Haq Sahib M. A. Principal, Presidency College, Madras. For further 
information regarding the life and the works otthe poet, refer Nos 19 29 I I and 
192, III, I. ' ' ' 

The present work has several times been lithographed at Madras and Bombay. 
It was once in wide circulation among the Mussalmans. The main feature of the 
copy under notice is that it was transcribed during the life-time of the poet, namely, 
in A.H. 1210. A copy of this Ms. is known to be found in Paris. The work consists' 
of about five hundred and forty-two lines. Headings, in red ink. The fly-leaf

fact that he flourished during the twelfth century A.H. is contained in tho following 
verso appearing in fol. 156. 

It nouns that Baliri was a native of Gurgi *JljS a village in tho suburb of 
Bijapure. His father was Bahr al-Din the Qadhi of J jS who came over to

648 A DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OE 

The leaves are of different hues. The hand-writing is excellent. Probably this is the 
only copy extant It was composed in the middle of the 13th century A.H. at the 
request of Nawab Ghauth Khan Bahadur, the Nawab of Aroot, one of the great 
patrons of scholars and poets and himself a poet and a man of literary taste and 
author of the Tazkhirah-i Gulzar-iA'zam. f&>e\ j\£S tyls 

Muhammad Yusuf 'Ali liko Amln al-Din 'Ali Khan Giryau (I) the author of 
Ta'id al-A'dad (see No. 736 below) is one of those authors and scholars of Arcot 
not known to Tazkirah-writers. Prom the present commentary it may easily be 
inferred what a man of erudition and great learning he was ! Nothing is known 
about the details of his life and works. The following passages selected at random 
from his preface to his commentary throw some light on his life and his 
present work :

fi *(fol. 3a) ^ r U jliT 
From the above passages, it may be concluded : — (1) That the writing of the 
commentary was probably commenced at the request of Nawab Gauth Khan, about 
the time when Sayyid AbuTayyib Khan Wala (A.H. 1190— A.H. 1264) Nawab's 
tutor, was engaged between A.H. 1263 and A.H. 1264 in teaching Lawami'al- 
Ishraq to Nawab Gauth Khan (Vide Tazkirah-i Gulzair- Azarn PP. 368 — 374), who 
was at that time fourteen years old only. (2) That the author was still alive in 
A.H. 1253.

The work is styled in Spr. Cat., p. 352, Gul-Khusrau iy ~± J-' and this seems 
to be an abridgement of the Khusrau Namah. The present work also is an abridge-

The poet enumerates in the introductory preface many of his former works 
including the Mukhtar Namah (see No. 600 above) and his Persian Diwan consisting 
of Ghazals and Qfya'ats. From fol. 2156 onward the copy is written by a different

Author, Sayyid Isma'il Abjadi, cs*^ J**W~>\ .**-> 

A rare and valuable' Persian commentary .on Khaqani's Tuhfat Al-'Iraqayn 
-the famous Matknawi poem, in which the poet describes his pilgrimage to the 
holy cities of Mekkah and Medinah, with a special reference to 'Iraq-i 'Ajam and 
Iraq-i 'Arab. No mention of the present commentary appears to be made in any 
one of the catalogues or reference books, except in the Tazkirah-i Gulzar-i Azam, 
where, on page 23, the author points out that after finishing his other works 
Abjadi was engaged in writing a commentary to the Tuhfat al'Iraqayn. It 
seems quite probable that the present is the only extant copy. Three more 
different commentaries have been written on the Tuhfat al-'Iraqayn — -viz. on> 
by Shaykh 'Abd al-Salam, composed inA.H. 1057/A.D.1647. 

(Vide Ethe, Ind. Off. Lib. Cat., Vol. I, p. 591 and Spr. Cat., .p.463). Abjadi 
in his preface (fol. 2a) has made a reference to this commentary. The second 
commentary is oomposed by Ghulam Muhammad, which, according to Ethe, Vol, 
I, p. 591 is notioed in Bodleian Cat., No. 580., A third commentary is written 
by an ananymous author (vide Ethe Ind. Off. Lib. Cat., p. 1556). 

Abjadi's exact date of birth is not found in anyone of the Tazkirahs or catalog- 
ues. Even Burhan Khan b-Hasan, the author of the Tauzak-i Walajahi and 
a contemporary of Abjadi has made no reference to it, though he has dedicated 
a special chapter to him. Nor has Nawab Muhammad Gouth Khan in his 
Tazkirah-i Gulzar-i 'Azam made any mention of it. It is certain that Abjadi 
lived during the reign of Nawab Anwar Khan (d. A.H.*U62/A.D. 1749) and during 
the latter part of his son and successor, Nawab Muhammad Alia reign, who ruled 
over the Carnatic from A.H. 1162 to A.H. 1210/A.D.174!) to 1795. Almost all 
Tazkirah-writers and cataloguers have fixed to the date of his death at or as 
A.H. 1193. It appears* that their information is based on the following statement 
furnished by Fawab Gouth Khan : 

(vide ^ia-cijljli sj$S'j P.2S ' ' s-»— »jj ,,1^ upo-. JLi ,|i> ^j] 



PERSIAN MANUSCRIPT 686 

Curiously enough, all European writers ami cataloguers including Burhan 
Khan the author of the Taitzak-i Walftjahi have not touched tho question of tho 
date of Abjadi's death ; and they could neither accept nor,reject as genuine the date 
furnished by Nawab Gouth Khan. 

It is indeed, difficult to fix the exact date of his death. But it ia certain 
that Abjadi was alive in A.H. 1200 A.D. 1786 and ho probably died between 
A.H. 1200 and 1205/A.D. 1786 and 1701. The best authority for this inform- 
ation is the following internal evidence furnished in the prefaoe on fol. 16. by Abjadi 
himself: 

j p^U ^\\ J.I* ^jkX* „«.<♦.(>• ijj,^ 41 .ft) | <A*j ^ j-*.j ^» t_J ,e»- .U^,

oUa-OI ^M.^ ^,ij ^\d y ol^yU) o>.-,0 ^/LaS ^J'U«* ^Ua-o CiJj^Xc y 

It is clear from this statement that tho date of his death is not A.H. 1193 as 
is generally supposed. .Further, it is worth noticing that at the bottom of the 
last page of a copy of his -~u ^~ ( 8 eo Part III, Vol. I, No. 146 above) 
the following inscription by an anonymous hand is found: " died 1203 A.H." 
The handwriting seems to bo as old as the M.«. itself. This also supports, to 
a certain extont, tho view that Abjadi did cirea A. H. .1200. Burhan Khan obsorves 
in the preface to his Tauzka-i Walajal.ii (vide Fart HI, Vol. L, No. 304 above fol. 56) 
that since Abjadi's Anwar Namah (Comp. A. H. 1174/A. I). 1760, 1761) celebrat- 
ing the exploits of Nawal) Anwar Khan, did not comprise, duo to poetical treat - 
ment of the subject, all tho rolevent events and anecdotes connected with the 
reign of Nawab Anwar al-l)iu Khan, ho ooinnietiood writing his Tauzak-i Walftjahi 
■on. tho request of Nawab Muhammad All Khan in A. H. I IW5/A.D. 1781, and 
finished the first Daftar of it and the Muq-addimah in A. H. 1200/A. D. 1786 
(Vide Etlic, Ind. Off. Lib. Cat., Vol. I., P. 1!)0). But it is worth noticing that no 
mention of Abjadi's death is made cither in the - *ja,. or in the work itself, show- 
ing, thereby, though .indirectly, that Abjadi \w alive at the time. In this con- 
nection, "it should also bo noted hat most of Abjadi's ,-^v. „&~*&. viz-Zubdat al- 
Afkar, ji* Si Sa>i Anwar Namah -A> .y,\ llaghib wis- Marglulb, Vj i r j ^i|

batween A. H. 1196 and 1107 (ref Mas. Nos. 2, 146, 112 and 113 above iii, i.; The 
handwriting of these Alss. seems to be identical. It is possible, though not certain, 
that the author himself might have been the scribo. In this case, the view that 
Abjadi died in A. H. 1193 be omes obviously wrong. Anyhow, this will bean 
interesting subject of later resoarch.

A persian commentary on difficult versos in forty-one select Qasldahs of 'urfi 
(d. A. H. 999/A.D. 1591). Munir died, according to most of the Tazkirah-writers, 
in A.H. 1054/A.D. 1644 (vide Ethe, Ind. Off. Lib. Oat., Vol. I, p. 1148, No. 2078

It is clear from this statement that in A. H. 1057 Munir was no longer alive ; 
twenty-two years had already passed since his death. The date of his death

The following note appears on the fly-leaf: 

The identity of the author cannot be established with certainty. He is 
probably identical with Jalal al-Din Muhammad Tabataba'i who came from 
Isfihan to India in A. H. 1044 and died after A. H. 1062 and to whom the 
authorship of the Padshah Namah ,»U «UjV> and the Tauqi'at uwWxy; are 
ascribed. He has also written prose-preface.H to the Diwan-i Abu Talib Kalim' 
Qudsi and Hakim Shifa'i. But it is not certain whether this Jalal aJ-Din Muham- 
mad was poetically called Wahshat. Several poets with this Takhallas are 
mentioned in various Tazkirahs. It is noticed that sometimes the names Jalal 
and Jamal are confused by the Tazkirah -writers. The same confusion, it appears 
has occurred in the name of the present author.

Author, Maulana 'Abel Allah Hatifi ^s U .1)i j^ M r 

A good copy of the epio poem celebrating the loves of Layla Majnun It was 
composed by « Abd Allah Hatifi of Jam, the reputed Jamb' nephew, who, 
according to the following verse appearing on fol. 73b composed by Maulana' 
Hablb Allah, died in A.H. 927/A.D. 1521 : 

It is said that Hatifi was unrivalled in his day as a Mathnavi- writer. In the 
epilogue he describes himself as a rightful successor o Nizami and Khusrau 
He was a great admirer of Nizami and this may be inferred from the verses 
contained in the Khatimah on foil. 706 and 71a. It is requested that at the requ- 
est of Shah Isma ii, Hatifi commenced writing a Mathnawi celebrating tho lator's 
viotories. Of this Mathnawi however, he was able to write only a thousand lines 
which seem to be rare. 

Hatifi intended, as he himself states in the epilogue, to write a Khamsah similar 
to that of Nizami and Khusrau. But out of this projected ^ only four are 
extant. The first is the present work. The other throe arc Timfir Namah 
**&# copies of which are noticed in Lithe, Ind. Off. Lib. Cat., Vol.1 
Nos. 1410-1416 ; Eieu. II, pp. 653a-6546 and Ivanovo, A.S.B. Oat, 'pp. 049- 
652, Haft Manzar (Riou II, p. 6536 and Ivauow, A. 8. B. Cat., p. 653), and Shirln 
wa Khusrau. He is known to have composed other works also which are not at 
present extant. 

For further notices on Hatifi s life and works, refer Spr. Cat, Vol. I. pp. 412-

INTRODUCTION 



The Second Volume of the Descriptive Catalogue of 
Hindustani, Arabic and Persian manuscripts is prepared on 
the same plan as that of the first volume. The numbering 
of the manuscripts and pagination of this volume are in 
continuation of Volume I. In Volume I of this series, 
the Hindustani and Arabic manuscript's were given 
continuous serial numbers, while Persian manuscripts were 
given a separate serial number- Nos, 37 and 38 described 
in Part I of that volume are in Arabic language and 
therefore they should be brought over to Part II. Thus 
the number of Hindustani manuscripts described in 
Volume I, Part I, is 36 and the number of Arabic 
manuscripts is 161 beginning from 37 to 197. As a result 
of this, there will be no manuscript in Arabic bearing 
Nos. 1—36. In the present Volume II serial number is 
given separately for each language in continuation of the 
numbers in Volume I. - 

This volume contains descriptive notices on theology, 
sufism, philosophy, medicine, etc., in the respective 
languages. Part I contains the descriptive notioes of 
Hindustani manuscripts (Nos. 37 — 102), Part II contains 
Arabic manuscripts (Nos. 198—218) and Part III, Persian 
manuscripts (Nos. 537— 687). Attention is drawn below 
to some of the more important and interesting manuscripts 
described herein. 

D. Nor62 i risTmrat-al-QhajiUn " (Urdu).-^ An ethioo- 
mystical work in the form of a Mathnavi, principally based 
on the verses of the Holy Quran, traditions and a number 
of Persian verses, with their mystical significance in 
Dakhani verse by Mohamed Ashiq Hoshi. He flourished, 
it appears, during the reign of Walajah, the Nawab of 
Arcot, who ruled over the Carnatic from A.H. 1162 to 
A.H. 1210 (A.D. 1749— 1795). 



D. No. 578 " Tazkirdt-al-Ansab " {Persian). — A rare and 
valuable Persian work written by Mustafa Ali Walajahi 
b. Khyr-al-dinkhan. It was written in A.H. 1192 during 
the reign of Nawab Walajah Amir-al -Hind Umdat al-mulk 
Anwar-al-dinkhan who ruled over the Camatic from 
A.H. 1162 to A.H. 1210 (A.D. 1749-1795). This manu- 
script contains a very useful interesting genealogical des- 
cription of the author's paternal and maternal anoestors 
and contemporaries among whom are scholars, poets, 
commanders, Nawabs, great men of piety, well-known 
Shykhsj authors and great men of eminence. His infor- 
mation is based on the authentic oral accounts furnished 
by one of his relations and what he himself had personally 
seen and experienced. 

R. No. 628 "Diwan e-Tarkhan" (Persian). — A restored 
copy of a rare manuscript described under D. No. 12, 
Part III, Volume I. 

No other copy of this manuscript is known to be found 
in any other libraries. This rare manuscript contains 
Qasidas, Rubaiyat (Quatrains) and Chronograms composed 
by Tarkhan during the reign of Emperor Akbar, A.H. 981.
