Catalogue of Arabic, Persian, and Turkish Manuscripts of the Imperial Library of Vienna

45. الضو The Light. A grammatical commentary by Taj al-Din Mohammed f. Mohammed of Isfahan on the work Misbah; this Dau is an epitome of a larger commentary by the same author on the same work. The name of this larger commentary is: المفتاح المصباح Key to the Lamp; this commentary also exists translated into Turkish.

46. ترتيب الدقايق في ترغيب الحقايق Arrangement of Subtleties in the Desire for Truths. By the author Mohammed, who seems to have been later than Hajji Khalifa. For he mentions the poet Ahmed of Skopje, 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 return the same work into Arabic, but with a different method. These few pages, among which he seems to have held himself as author, exhibit only a few poetic lucubrations on Persian philologists such as Sururi, Nimetollah, and Kemal himself.
