PREFACE.
Tue Delegates of the Clarendon Press have kindly consented to issue the description of the Persian MSS.—the last sheet of which has just been printed off—as Part I of my complete ‘Catalogue of the Persian, Turkish, Hindüstâni, and Pushtü MSS. in the Bodleian Library, in order to present this volume in a handy form to the forthcoming eighth International Oriental Congress at Stockholm and Christiania. Part II, which is in a forward state of preparation, will contain—(1) the description of the Turkish, Hindüstâni, and Pushtü MSS. in the Bodleian; (2) a complete Index of the whole work (in five distinct sections: index of titles, index of names of persons, index of geographical names and Ansâb, general index of subjects, and index of dates or chronological register of historical and literary events) ; (3) a full Conspectus Manuscriptorum ; and (4) an Introduction on the various collections of Muham- madan MSS. in the Bodleian and their origin. Those MSS. which bear the pressmark ‘Ouseley’ were originally described by my learned friend Professor Sachau, of Berlin, but afterwards revised, i.e. enlarged or curtailed (as the case might be), by myself, and amalgamated with the present Cata- logue. Section D, ‘ Zoroastrian Literature, ete. is almost exclusively Professor Sachau's work, as very few MSS. outside the Ouseley Collection belong to that older branch of Irânian literature.

Col. 169, No. 313. The pressmark is to be changed into ELLrorT 331.
Col. 175, No. 323. This work, which con- tains besides a history of Shüstar, also a detailed account of the author’s life and travels, was written A.H. 1215-1216=A.D. 1800, 1801, see a full description of it in Rieu i. p. 383.
Col. 187, No. 343. The proper title, ac- cording to W. Pertsch, Berlin Catal., is wk رف based on the twenty- seventh book of Al-Bukhari.
Col. 188, No. 347. Read in the author’s name Nizam-alfadli instead of al'akli; comp. Rieu iii. p. 969.
Col. 191, No. 356. The pressmark is to be changed into FRASER 96.
Col. 256 (No. 21). Read Turdi instead of Tardi.
Col. 261, No. 383. Shaikh ‘Ali Hazin’s autobiography was completed A.H.1154; see Rieu i. p. 381.
Col. 287, 1. 7. The date for 'Işmat-allâh's death, although distinctly given in the MS. as stated, must needs be altered into A.H. 826 or 829, see p. 595, 1. 5 sq. in this Catal.
Col. 316, No.395. The statement, that the Makhzan-algharâ'ib is the largest biogra- phical dictionary of Persian poets, holds no longer good, since in W. Pertsch, Berlin Catal., p. 627 sq., a full list of the poets in the Suhuf-i-Ibrahimi (by ‘Ali Ibrahimkhan Khalil, the author of the Khulasat-alkalam, No. 390) is given, which numbers 3278 (130 more than in the Makhzan).
Col. 319, 1.15. The statement that Amân- allah Amani lived in Humâyün's reign, as given in the Makhzan, cannot be right, since the poet died as late as A.H. 1046 or 1044, see p. 683, last lines sq.
Col. 335 (No. 937). Read Muhammad Kasim 2:071 instead of Razi (which is quite distinct in the MS.), as the alphabetical arrangement requires here ز as initial letter.
Col. 340, 1. 32. Read some other Sharif instead of Shuhüdi.
Col. 354, 1. 28, Read Jabal instead of Jabal.
Col. 369 (No, 2192). Read Kdfi instead of Khâfi.

Col. 434,1. 6. Read ‘ younger brother’ in- stead of friend.

(PRELIMINARY LIST.)
Col. 101, ll. 1 and 2. The proper date is 1227 of the Faşli era=a.D. 1819, March 19; 1.6 ab infra, No. 179. The original de- scription of this MS. by Prof. Sachau has escaped a thorough revision, and several manifest errors must consequently be recti- fied here ; ll. 49 sq. mustrun thus: ‘stating, that the oldest translation of the Wâki'ât-i- Bâbari was made by Zain-aldin Khwâfi (fol. 1°, 1. 1, who died A.H. مهو A. D. 1533, 1534; see Rieu iii. p. 926°), after whom followed Mirzâ Pâyanda (so to be read instead of Banida) Hasan Ghaznawi Farsi (fol. 2”, 1. 2), who translated the first part of these memoirs at the command of Mu'in- aldin Bihrüzkhân, a son (not a ‘‘descend- ant”) sq.;” comp. Rieu ii. p. 799.
Col. 102, 1: 6. Read Mu'in-aldin Bihraz- khân's instead of Akbar’s.
Col. 104,1. 23. Read 3264 instead of 32.

Col.117,1.8 ab infra. Read Begam instead of Begum.
Col. 123, No. 237. The proper title of this work, according to Rieu i. p. 261, is
Ts
yasi; 1. 13, read ‘Abd-alhamid instead of Abü-alhamid.
Col. 124, 1. 24. Read Haidari instead of Haidari.
Col. 127, No. 243. Morley's statement, repeated here, that the work was composed in the ‘ thirty-second year of the emperor’s reign’ (=A.H. 1100) is wrong, since the author, according to Rieu iii. p. 1083”, died already A.H. 1092 = A.D. 1681. No. 245: The Lubb-altawârikh was composed A.H. 1106 < ۸:۲۰ 1694, 1695; see Rieu i. p, 228 sq., and the India Office copies.
Col. 128, ll. 27, 29, and 35. Read خضر instead of ضر
Col. 129, No. 246. The Khulâşat-altawâ- rikh was completed in the fortieth year of “Âlamgir's reign, but the bulk of tbe his- tory only goes down to the death of Prince Dârâ Shuküh and “Âlamgir's accession; see Rieu i. p. 230.
Col. 138, 1. 28. Read Yahyâ instead of Yahya.
Col. 139,1. 20. Read Kdyath instead of Kaitah.

Col. 153,11. 17 and 38. Read 1629 instead of 1628.
Col. 161, No. 308. A joint author of the Arabic original was Abt) Muhammad ‘Abd- allah bin Labari (see Rieu i. p. 333, where as year of completion is given 757 instead
Column 21, line 34. Read Garshdsp in- stead of Gurshâsp. Col. 22. No, 33 is not the 5 التوارد $35
of Hafiz Abrü, but merely the geographical work of the same author, described in Rieu i. . 421 ۰
Col. 23,1. 4 ab infra. “Ali Yazdi's Zafar- nama. According to Rieu i. p. 423, it is undoubtedly Nizamshâhi's earlier work of the same title.
Col. 29,1. 2. Read Sir William Chambers instead of Jumpers.
Col.31,1.1. Read ¥asuf instead of Yusuf; the same correction applies to coll. 59, 1. 3; 62, 1.36; 63, 11. 23 and 30; and 93, 1.14.
Col. 34, No. 71. The three leaves missing in Ouseley Add. 163 (v—3) have been found in a collection of fragmentary pieces and inserted between ff. 6 and 7. The copy has therefore now Ff. 546.
Col. 43, No. 97 (General History). This is the Ta'rikh-i-Ibrâhimi by Ibrahim bin Jarir, as a comparison with the India Office copies has shown; comp. also Rieu iii. pp. 10133 and 10469, and Elliot, History of India, iv.p. 213sg. The history goes down to A.H. 956 or 957 =A. D. 1549, 1550.
Col. 50, No. 102; comp. for the Subh-i- Sadik also Rieu ii. p. 889.
Col. 54, last line. Read Muhammad Bakhsh instead of Baksh.
Col. 55, No. 114. The Mirât-al'âlam, usually ascribed to Muhammad Bakhtâwar- khan, is in reality the work of Shaikh Mu- hammad Baka; comp. Rieu, loc. cit.
Col.59,1.7. Read‘ Ali Wirdikhân instead of Wardikhan.
Col. 60, ll. 6 and 5 ab infra. Read Dauhah I-III, on fol. 271P; IV, on fol. 272%; V and VI, on fol. 279P; the rest not marked, instead of Dauhah I (on fol. 271). Comp. about the Hadikat-alsafa also Rieu ii. pp. 872», and iii. p. 1096". In the last line read Caghatdi instead of Cagatai; the same correction applies to coll. 68, ll. 24 and 25, and 91, 1. 5 ab infra.
Col. 61, 11. 37. Read 1067 instead of 1068 ; 1. 46, read 1124 instead of 1125.
Col. 68, 1.15 and 16. ۰ Kabaéa drowned A.H. 622;’ so distinctly in the MS.; the usual date given is 625.
Col. 82, Nos. 141 and 142 (Matâli'-alan- war). The India Office copies give the author’s name as “Afif Nür-i-Kâshâni; Rieu iii. p. 1037" has “Afif Nawâ Kashani.
Col. 85,1.39. Read Sarbadârians instead of Sarbâdârians.
Col. 91,1. 4. Read the Ta'rikh-i-Ibrâhimi instead of the anonymous chronicle, No. 97.
Col. 96. No. 170 is the Risâla-i-Râjâwali ; see Rieu ii. p. 855.
Col. 98, No. 173. The pressmark is to be changed into 11111017 9۰
Col. 99, No. 176. Comp. on the Ta'rikh-i- Shirshâh, also Rieu ii. p. 827%.
ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA.
Col. 1128, No. 1985. One leaf, missing in this fragment of the Gulistân, has been found and inserted as fol. 15 ; the copy con- tains therefore now Ff. 27.
Col, 1133, No. 2000. Two of the first leaves of this fragment have been found, and show at once that the work in question is merely Sa‘di’s Gulistân ; fol. 32 is therefore now 34°, and the number of folios 55. Begin- ning of the first leaf corresponds to Bodl. Or. 673, fol. 6°, 1. 1; end of the last to fol. 54°, 1. رو in the same copy.
Some of the pressmarks have been mis- spelt in the greater part of the Catalogue; Elliot is always to be read Elliott; Caps., Laud and Bodley, Caps. Or., Laud Or. and 8001. Or. respectively ; Marsh. is simply Marsh, and Grave correctly Greaves.
Col. 842, No. 1383. Another leaf of Ms. Pers. d. 9 has been found, but as the Ms. is full of lacunas, it is impossible for the present to locate it properly. It has been inserted at the end; the number of folios is consequently now 76.
Col. 950, No. 1573. Read Ff. 55-70 in- stead of Ff. 15.
Col. 956, No. 1583. The pressmark is to be changed into FRASER 210°.
Col. 981, No. 1637. The pressmark is to be changed into Caps. Or. C. 3.
Col. 987, No. 1658. Comp. also Loth, Arabic MSS. of the India Office Library, pp. 271 and 272.
Col. 990, No. 1666. Read Ff. 920-0۳۲ instead of Ff. 15.
Col. 1083, 1. 14. Read Ff. 1-30 instead of Ff. 30.
xil
Col. 485, No. 474. These two Persian stories are merely extracts from the Ww- farrih-alkulab, see No. 1320 below.
Col. 453, No. 506. The statement about the exactness of this copy of Yüsuf and Zalikha must, after more careful investiga- tion, be modified in this way, that, although preserving to a great extent the fuller and better redaction of the poem, it is in many places decidedly incorrect.

The first volume contains the ante-Muhammadan history, beginning with the creation of the world; the second brings the history down from the birth of Muhammad to the death of Husain (4.4. 61); the third is the continuation till the reign of Almuktafi- billâh (A.H. 289-295). The last two chapters relate the murder of Badr, the governor of Fârsistân, and the struggle with Dhikrawaihi b. Mihrawaihi, the chief of the Karmats (A.H. 294).

This copy contains two introductions and an addition.

Be بیستم شهر EY الأول نواب قبله coke احمد صاحب سلطان بن مع[مد] قريش سلطان بن عبد الرشید (sic) 0. On fol. 417> are written several chrono- grams. On the first page there are three seals,
probably containing the names of former possessors.
The first volume and ff. rrr—vo of the second seem to be written by one hand; the remainder of the second volume, ff. ۳٥٣-۴۱۵, formed originally a part of another considerably older manuscript. The handwriting of this portion is likewise Naskhi, but the paper is of a darker colour, and the single pages are bordered by two red lines. After it was bound together with the more recent part, a new pagination was put over the leaves, and the old numbers cancelled. Of the original MS. this portion was ff. rrv—rat.
This oldest MS., however, does not seem to have been complete, because after fol. 415 there is an abrupt break in the chronicle, and on the following last two folios, 416, 417, a more recent hand has con- tinued the history by short notes relating to the succeeding Khalifs,
There seem to be at least two lacunas in this older part; at the same time the leaves are wrongly bound together. The proper arrangement of the leaves is this: ۳۹۴, ۳۹۵-۴۰, (395-400 are bound after rir), th. i. ff. ۳٣. ۳٣٣-٣٣٣ according to the paging of the older MS.

Lastly, it must be noticed that the paging ۴۱۴-۴۱۷ is an alteration for ۴۱۵-۴۱ رم made in order to disguise the lacuna after ۴٣۳ (or rva according to the original pagination).

The author wrote during the reign of the Ghaznawi Sultân “A bd-alrashid, to whose name he adds اطال الله
easy بقاءه وادا سلطانه (see ff 1409, 175», etc). It formed part of his object to narrate the rise of the house of Sabuktagin, more particularly the history of the reigning Sultân ‘Abd-alrashid, A.H. 443-444= A.D. 1051-2۰
Unfortunately this MS. does not contain the whole work, but only selected chapters; it was probably copied in India for Jonathan Scott, the translator of the Bahar-i-danish, whose name is written on the first page.

From this table of contents it will appear that this MS. contains portions of a most valuable work, which seems to be entirely unknown. These portions are not very judiciously selected; in several places the order is disturbed, and quite incoherent parts are put together, as if the copyist has wished to conceal the lacunas of the book.
The author quotes in several places Abü-Raihân Albirtini (on ff. 179, 217, from the latter passage it is evident that Kardizi was acquainted with, and probably a pupil of Birüni, who died A.H. 440; it runs thus: چنین گوید فراز آورندۀ اين کتاب ابو سعید عبد للی بن معمد بن lat شنیدم از خواچه ابو Gate که el البیرونی رحمه الله seal); ‘Abdallah b.

the end of the 21st Tabakah of the original.
The arrangement of the single chapters (here they are not called Tabakah) is somewhat different from the original; besides the compiler had made three addi- tions, and in some places the MS. has lacunas (there are left blank ff. 22, 23, 30% (for the greater part), 30>, 31, 98>, 100, ror, and a part of 1424), Compared with the original the order is this : I, II (the greater part), 111 wanting; VI, V, IV, additions (on ff. yıb—8sb) ; VII-XII, XVII-XXII, XIII-XVI, additions (on ff. 1309-1344, and ff. 1342-142); XXIII, addition.
Missing is the history of the descendants of ‘Ali (II) and of the Bani Umayyah (III).
The additions are:
a (ff. yıb-85b). History of Mukhtar b. Abi ‘Ubaidah Thakafi. See Weil, Geschichte der Khalifen, vol. i. PP: 354-392.
b (ff. 130°-1342). End of the history of the Khwârizm- shâhs (Jalâl-aldin and Ghiyâth-aldin Aksultân), taken from the Ta'rikh-i-Jahânkushâ, the author of which died A.K. 681.
c (ff. 134-1423). The creed of the Assassins and their history from Hasan Sabah to Rukn-aldin Khâ- warshâh, and their extirpation by Hulâgükbân A.H. 654=A.D. 1256. This account is not identical with that in the fourth volume of the Raudat-alşafâ, but possibly originating from thence.

Fol. 292%. Babar.
Fol. 2932. Humâyün; the last date which occurs is A.H. 957. The last is a report of his coming to Kabul and paying a visit to the grave of his father Babar.
Regarding the author we have to make the following statements :
a, After having reported the death of Shah Ismail, A.H. 930, he says that Shah Tahmasp ruled over Shir- win, Âdharbaijân, Fars, 'Irâk-i-Ajam, “Irâk-i “Arab, and most of Khurâsân at the time when he wrote this. See fol. 25637 ۰
b. Humâyün (died A.H. 963) was still alive when this was written ; as to his name, there is always added الله ملکه oie.
Accordingly we get the years A.H. 951-963= A.D. 1544-1556 as the time during which this chro- nicle was finished. However, there is some evidence which induces us to suppose that the author did not write at a later time than A.H. 958; for in enumerating the sons of Akbar (on fol. 2934) he makes the usual additions to the name of Humâyün, the then emperor, but none whatever to the names of his three brothers, Kamran, ‘Askari, and Hindal.
Now, as regards Kamran and ‘Askari, this would not be surprising, since they were mostly in rebellion against their brother the emperor, whose loyal subject the author was. Hindal, however, fell in the year A.H. 958,
gallantly fighting for the emperor against the tribe Khalil ; and if our author had written after this event, it would have been extremely disloyal not to add to Hindal’s name an 333, alll ,انار or some similar phrase. Comp. Elphinstone, Hibe of India, 5th edition, p. 470.

General history.
A work on general Muhammadan history till the beginning of the eleventh century. Neither its title nor its author’s name is to be found anywhere, the first leaves being wanting. It appears to have been com- posed during Jahangir’s reign, since it concludes with A.H, 1020=A.D. 1611, on fol. 370% (370? being left blank).
The MS. opens in the middle of a very disordered
سلاطین دست راست )2( نفر 33,3( and confused index ms) and خواقین ولایت دست چب چهل و نه نفر آلخ
its materials are arranged in the following manner : Till fol. 226 each principal section begins without a heading, only with the word ,ذکر and contains several subdivisions, styled ,طبقه 33,5, jos, Ob, 5, ete. This whole part, we suppose, is the first book (باب اول) of the work; see here a detailed table of contents :
Ancient patriarchs and prophets, on fol. 3%, beginning with SLs (after fol. 2 a lacuna).
The early kings of Persia, in four tabakât, on fol. 74.
The kings of Babylon and Syria, of the Jews, and of the Greeks, on fol. 162.
The Himyarites, Ethiopians, the kings of Yaman, the Ghassanians, and the Banfi Lakhm, on fol. 238.
The Turks from Yâfet, on fol. 28»,
Muhammad, the first four Khalifs and the twelve Imâms, on fol. 320.

After a blank page begins on fol. 371 a new fasl, which probably belongs to a third book, containing the history of the Safawi dynasty; it closes in the com- mencement of the reign of Shah ‘Abbas, A.H. 998= A.D. 1590. Therefore, we suppose, the author died a little after A.H. 1020, before he could continue the history of the Safawis down to the same point where he had broken off the description of Jahangir’s exploits.
The proper order of the leaves from ff. 363 to 369 is this: 363, 365, 364, 367, 366, 368, 369.
Mirkhond’s Raudat-alsafa is very often quoted in this work. Not dated; it may be that this copy is the author's autograph, the missing parts of which have been supplied later.

Conclusion (خاتي) on fol. 2962, On the author him- self. On fol. 297% occur the following two notes: YALİ çi خلص gl. معصوم Bile اوراق شکسته ودسته سيٌد اتمام انم کلا
From this note we learn that this copy was made bya Sayyid Hafiz Ma'şüm with the Takhallus Saki, and that the date of the completion of the work itself is em- bodied in the words خاتمة کلام (i.e. 1137).
Then follows another note on fol. 297P: is قد فرغ من

Accordingly this copy was finished on Wednesday, the 5th Rabi‘ I (N.B. Exactly the same day when the author finished his work) ; the year, however, when this took place is not mentioned. Secondly, this copy was made for one Kipdâk-Khân Bahadur (probably the author himself).
We think it most likely that these two notes are simply transferred from an older MS., and must remark that these two volumes bear in all externals (as paper, writing, etc.) the greatest likeness to those copies, made by ‘Abd-alrazzik (comp. Ouseley 53, 166, etc.)

miz; he excuses himself that in conse- یوسف guence of a troublesome illness he could not continue the history of the Moghul emperors down to Ah- madshah (deposed 1167), “Alamgir II (died 1173), and Shah ‘Alam, who reigned when the author wrote. Probably the same illness is the reason that he did not finish this work before a. H. 1184=A.D. 1770, fourteen years after having commenced it, and eleven years after having written the memoir on ‘Ali Hazin in the last part of the conclusion.
Although this work (especially in the first volume) is very brief and comprehensive, and the single dynas- ties usually occupy only one or two leaves, it is very remarkable for its extremely accurate chronology and its particular notices on the learned men, poets, etc. of the single epochs. More detailed are the second and third volume, the latter of which is written totally on the basis of Firishta’s famous History of India, agreeing with that in the whole arrangement and even in the single phrases. The biographical dictionary of poets at the end is a valuable enrichment of the list of tadh- kiras given in Sprenger’s Catal. Oudh.
