Translations from the Persian and Arabic by the late E Rehatsek. Handwritten manuscript of 129 pages which Rehatsek has introduced with "The following pieces were selected and translated by me from the celebrated Arabic work Al-Mostatraf..." He has numbered the manuscript 1-33 which is reflected in Arbuthnot's titles on the paper cover - each number identifies a set of 4 pages which compose one sheet of paper. On the second page of sheet 5, Rehatsek has entitled his section as "The following three pieces I translated from the Siraj-ul-moluk...", and on the second page of sheet 7 he begins the "Discussion between man and animal before the king of the Jinns". The manuscript is undated.
