This manuscript is missing the first folio of the dibācheh. The first complete section begins: "be-nām-i ānkeh nām-esh..."(contribution by D. Mancini-Lander).
Biyografik / Tarihsel Not	Persian Ṣufī of the Naqshbandīyah order and famed poet as well as hagiographer. Closely allied with the Timurid court of Herat in the 15th century, particularly with the vizier, Mīr ʻAlī Shīr Navāʼī (contribution by D. Mancini-Lander).
