Gushâyishnâma. This manuscript is now IO Islamic 825 in the India Office collections. [metadata: Hermann Ethé, Catalogue of Persian Manuscripts in the Library of the India Office, 2 vols. (Oxford: India Office, 1903): volume 1, number 2077 here with notations and hyperlinks]. 825 Gushâyishnâma (گشایش نامه). Stories of remarkable escapes, compiled A.H. 1101 (A.D. 1689, 1690), according to the chronogram on fol. 5a: دهد حقا گشايش هاى بيشك, comp. Rieu ii. p. 767, where A.H. 1100 is given as date of composition. The present copy differs from that in the British Museum in two points, firstly it contains seven gushâyish (instead of the six there), and secondly, the authorship of the book is assigned to two Hindûs (instead of one), viz. Râjkarn (Khwâjah Râjkarn in Rieu, loc. cit.) and Bakrân Khâyath. Beginning: قربان آن قادر بيچون كه فضاى افلاك را با اين همه نقوش متلّون منقّش نموده و تصدّق الخ.
