Commentary on Aristotle's Analytica Priora and Posteriora. No date. The writing is an Indian Nashki of about 1600 CE with twenty lines to a page.

There are the three red seals of the Indian libraries, together with the usual Persian inscription bearing the date 1262/1846. No rubrications. Some phrases commented on are overlined with a black stroke. Ff. 1-36 contains the commentary on the Analytica Priora.
