Jami's Subhat al-abrar, earliest dated copy
Contents
1 copy of Subḥat al-abrār by Jāmī, 1414-1492
The celebrated Sufi didactic mas̲navī poem by Nūr al-Dīn ‘Abd al-Raḥmān Jāmī (d. 898/1492). See C. Huart and H. Massé‚ ‘Djāmī, Mawlana Nūr al-Dīn ‘Abd al-Raḥmān’, EI2, 2, pp. 421-2; Okumuş, ‘Câmî, Abdurrahman’, TDVİA 7, pp. 94-8; A. Afsahzod, Ruzgor va osor-i Abdurrahmani Jomī, Dushanbe 1980.
This manuscript is the earliest recorded extant copy. The opening folio is a replacement for the missing original. The opening bayt given there is the first of the two very different maṭla‘s quoted by Munzavī (FNKhF IV, p. 2892).
For other manuscripts, see FNKhF IV, pp. 2892-9; and, for the collected masnavī poems of Jāmī, pp. 2678 (s.v. Panj ganj) and 2312-6 (s.v. Haft awrang).
Begins: Basmala al-Minna li-Llāhi ki ba-khūn gar khuftam * yak chand chu ghuncha ‘āqibat bashkuftam, az kash-makash-i charkh basī āshuftam * gar gawhar-i rāz subḥa-vār suftam
Ends: Ḥusn-i maqṭa‘ chu buvad rasm-i kuhan * Qaṭ‘ kardīm badīn nukta sukhan
