Scope and Content

A volume containing copies of various works of prose and poetry [?in the hand of Benjamin Millingchamp].

Note

Folios 109-110 verso of the manuscript are described by Ethé as the 'poetical epistle of Ahmad Shāh Durrānī … to Nādir Shāh … and answer of the latter, likewise in verse'. We are informed (November 2020) that these folios in fact contain 'a poem about an exchange of letters between Nader shah of Iran and Ahmad Pasha, Ottoman governor of Baghdad, who fought against Nader Shah'.

Preferred citation: NLW MS 4399C.

Title based on contents.
