Summary note

Persian translation of Junnat al-amān al-wāqiyah wa-jannat al-īmān al-bāqiyah, a compendium of prayers in forty fuṣūl which is an abridgment of the author's al-Miṣbāḥ. In the colophon on fol. 48a, this work is attributed to Mīr Dāmād, but according to Āghā Buzurg (Dharīʻah, 1936, V, 161-2), it was al-Kafʻamī who wrote the abridgment which was later translated into Persian by a number of translators, including Mīr Dāmād.
