Praise be to God, who is manifest by His signs, the Inward in Himself, who is near by His mercy, far away, by His glory, generous, by His great blessings, by His pride, who is able and does not withhold, and who is omnipotent and does not oppose, and who is invincible, and who is invincible, and the Sovereign who has decrees and rulings...” Inscription of Qavāʻid al-rasāyil va farāyid al-faḍāyil: “Bismillāh al-Raḥmān al-Raḥīm. bi-kamāl-i ṣunʻ qudrat jamāl-i ṣūrat-i ādamīʹzād rā bi-tashrīf “Wa-laqad khalaqnā al-insān fī aḥsan taqwīm” ārastah gardānīd... kātib-i.

Bound. In fair naskh script, on yellowish paper; keywords and markings in red; Some corrections on the margins. Colophon of al-Yamīnī: “Tamma Kitāb al-Yamīnī fī sharḥ akhbār al-Sulṭān Yamīn al-Dawlah wa-amīn al-millah Abī al-Qāsim Maḥmūd ibn Nāṣir al-Dīn Subaktakīn walī Amīr al-Muʼminīn wa-madḥ maqāmātih fī ʻadīdihi wa-anṣārih wa-mā yattaṣilu bi-hā min akhbārihi wa-akhbār wulāt al-aṭrāf fī jiwārih wa-al-ḥamdu lillāh Rabb al-ʻĀlamīn wa-ṣallá Allāh ʻalá Sayyidinā Muḥammad wa-ālihi ajmaʻīn Wa-waqaʻa al-farāgh min tanmīq hādhihi al-awrāq bi-ʻawn Allāh al-malik. al-khallāq yawm al-Ithnayn al-rābiʻ wa-al-ʻishrīn min Rabīʻ al-Awwal li-sant sittīn wa-thamānimiʼah qarīb al-ʻaṣr ʻalá yad al-ʻabd al-ḍaʻīf al-muftaqir ilá raḥmat Allāh al-ṣamad al-aḥad Mūsá ibn Ḥamzah al-shahīr bayna al-anām bi-Khuwaysh al-marḥūm ibn al-Imām raḥima Allāh man yadhkuruhu bi-al-khayr ʻinda muṭālaʻat hādhā al-kitāb bi-ʻawn al-ḥayy al-ʻazīz al-wahhāb wa-yadʻū la-hu wa-li-jamīʻ al-muʼminīn wa-al-muʼmināt wa-al-Muslimīn wa-al-Muslimāt.” Al-Yamini’s conclusion: “Al-Yamini’s book was completed in explaining the news of the Sultan Yamin al-Dawla and the Secretary of the Faith, Abu al-Qasim Mahmoud bin Nasir al-Din Sabuktakin, the guardian of the Commander of the Faithful, and praising his numerous positions and supporters and the related news of him and the news of the governors of the parties in his neighbourhood. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and may God’s blessings be upon our master Muhammad and his entire family. The completion of the retouching of these papers occurred, with the help of God the Creator, the King, on Monday the twenty-fourth of Rabi’ al-Awwal of the year eight hundred and sixty. The era is at the hands of the weak servant who lacks the mercy of God, the eternally eternal One, Musa bin Hamzah, famous among people as Khwaish, the late bin Al-Imam. May God have mercy on whoever remembers him with goodness when reading this book, with the help of the Living, the Mighty, the Bestower, and prays for him and for all the believing men and women, the Muslim men and women. Colophon of Qawāʻid al-rasāyil va farāyid al-faz̤āyil: “Tamma al-kitāb bi-ʻawn-i ilāhī va bā sidāʹbūdī... mukhtaṣar kih bi-aṣghar-i ḥajm aks̲ar-i qavāʻid rasāyil va z̤avābiṭ-i fann-i kitābat rā shāmil-i as va bā salāmat-i alfāẓ va ʻudhūbat-i maʻānī va laṭāfat-i ṣunʻat rā ... ghurrat-i māh-i Rajab sant-i...va sittimiʼah li-waḥdihi Tamm.” The conclusion of the book The Rules of Epistles and Fareed al-Fadha’ili: “The book was completed with the help of God and with the help of My body... It is summarized in the smallest size of the most comprehensive rules of the letters and rules of the art of writing, based on the integrity of the words, the sweetness of the meanings, and the elegance of its creation... on the first day of Rajab in the year... six hundred alone. It was completed.” In Arabic and Persian. Forms part of the Hartford Seminary Collection. For a description of the collection, search by call number: Hartford Seminary.
