Scope and Content

This volume contains the Dīvān-i Ḥāfiẓ (ديوان حافظ) with an interlinear Ottoman Turkish translation in metre, of fairly early date, possibly even the 16th century CE. The Divan is followed by Munājāt-i ᶜabdallāh Anṣārī (مناجات عبد الله انصارى) in Persian. This manuscript was likely copied in the 17th or 18th century CE, although ff 1-40 appear to have been supplied at a later date.
