_Jámí_, the great Persian poet, is known to most Oriental scholars.
But the work here mentioned is his famous commentary on the preceding
work of Ebn Hájeb. It is considered the best amongst more than a
hundred commentaries which have been written on this work.
_Tefsír Kází_ is an extensive commentary upon the Korán by Kází Khán,
one of the most celebrated Turkish divines.
_Misbáh_, the lamp, is a small grammatical work by Imám Násir Abdullah
Altarazí.
_Díbácheh_ is a commentary by Soyútí on a collection of traditions of
the prophet, commonly called Sahíh Moslem.
_Jáma-ul-Bokhára_, another collection of traditions by Bokhárá. It is
considered the best of the kind.
_Multeka-al-bahr_, a very large work on Mohammedan jurisprudence,
compiled by Ibrahim Halebí.
_Kudúrí_, another treatise on jurisprudence. This work has lately been
printed at Constantinople.
_Sa’dí’s_ works are too well known to require any remark.
_Nisáb-us-sibyán_, a short Arabic vocabulary in verse.
_Loghat Akhterí_, a Persian and Turkish vocabulary.

Transcriber’s Notes
Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected.
There are many variations in the spelling, hyphenation and accents of
proper names and other Arabic terms. Except in cases where there is an
obvious dominant spelling and a variant that may legitimately be seen
as a typographical error, these remain unchanged.
There is no Section IX among the sub-sections of SECTION XV.
Italics are represented thus _italic_.
