Scope and Content

This volume contains the following two texts :. (I) ff 2v-180r : Külliyat-i Divan-i Sabit (Alaeddin) of Bosnia (died 1124 AH/1712-13 CE). It opens with a miraciye, followed by kasideler (ff 1v-45v). The other sections of the Divan are mesneviler (ff 45v-78v) beginning with the Kalamiye and include the Hikayet-i Hüma ü Ethem (also known as the Ethemname), Hikayet-i Amr İbn-i Leys, Berbername, Hikayet-i Hoca Fesat, elgaz (ff 79r-80r), another series of mesneviler (ff 80v-90r) beginning with the Zafername, terciibentler, and tahmisat (ff 90v-94r), chronograms (ff 94v-103v), gazeller (ff 104v-169v), kıt'alar (ff 170v-174v) and matali (ff 175r-180r);. (II) ff 181v-320v : Külliyat-i Divan-i Kami (died 1136 AH/1723-24 CE), which follows a preface with kasideler and na't (ff 181v-202r). The Külliyat is divided into these sections: chronograms (ff 203v-219r); a musammat followed by terciibentler and terkibibentler (ff 219v-228r), gazeller (ff 229v-274r), kıt'alar (ff 274v-277r), matali (ff 278r-286r), muammayat (ff 286b-288r), elgaz (ff 288v-291r), mesneviler (ff 291v-208r) ending with two called Firuzname (ff 309v-313r) and the Tuhfetü'l-zevra (ff 314v-320v). The text contains a few extra poems written in the margins of the main work throughout. Some of the last lines of almost every section are not ruled, giving each section the appearance of not being finished. Each section begins with an unvan (14 in total) with the first two folios bearing a gilt floral decoration. The manuscript was probably copied in the latter half of the 18th century CE.
