45. al-Daw’ The Light. A grammatical commentary by Tadscheddin Mohammed f. Mohammed Ispahanensis on the work Misbah; this "Daw’" is an epitome of a larger commentary by the same author on the same work. The name of this major commentary is "al-Miftah al-Misbah" (The Key to the Lamp); this commentary also exists in a Turkish translation.
46. Tartib al-Daqayiq fi Targhib al-Haqayiq Ordering of Subtleties and Adorning of Truths. By Mohammed, who seems to have been later than Hadschi Chalfa. For he mentions the poet Ahmed Uskubensis, who arranged the work reviewed above (42) into alphabetical order, but he passes over our author in silence, who, following the example of this Ahmed, attempted to render the same work in Arabic using a different method. These few pages, among which he seems to have kept himself as the author, display only a few poetic observations on Persian philologists like Sururi, Nimetollah, and Kemal himself.
47. Collectanea of various letters, with interspersed songs that follow: 1) Letters of Abdollah f. Mansuri Schirazensis, in Persian. 2) Letters of the famous poet Dschami, in Persian. 3) Songs, orations, examples of handwriting, etc.

It contains letters of illustrious writers such as: Weisi, Abdolkerim, Insi, Nevali, Saadeddin, Abdolgani, Ganalisade, Sidki, and others; titles, signatures, royal letters between Persian Shahs and Turkish Sultans, then the history of the conversion of a certain Athenian to Islam; it consists of 167 folios.
53. Insha Formulas of Turkish letters, small folio, Divani script.
