One incomplete copy of a غراٸب الصغر Ġarā'ibu l-ṣiġar, the first of the Chaghatay dīwāns of مير على شير نوائى Mīr ‘Alī Šēr Nawā'ī 's four-part series, خزاٸن المعانی Ḫazā'inu l-ma‘ānī. Seems to contain only the ghazals of the first qism, also largely out of order after the first two ghazals. Also lacks the mixed poetical/prose dēbāčawhich accompanies some versions of the text.
