Scope and Content

This volume contains the following two texts :. (I) ff 2v-104r : Dakaikü'l-hakaik, A vocabulary of Persian synonyms explained in Ottoman Turkish composed by Kemalpaşazade;. (II) ff 104v-120v : Risale-i yaiye, Another treatise by Kemalpaşazade on the various meanings of the letter ye attached to the end of Persian words. In a conversation between some Persian scholars, it had been asserted by one of them that the use of the final ye was confined to five meanings. The author declared that it had more than ten, and he afterwards wrote the present treatise in support of his assertion. This manuscript was likely copied in the 16th century CE.
