Scope and Content

This volume contains the collected poems of Osman Ruhi (died 1014 AH/1605-06 CE). This copy begins with kasideler (ff 1v-17v) not arranged according to the kafiye and ending with a tahmis. The gazeller follow, and several of these with the same rhyme are written concurrently, giving the impression of a longer poem (ff 18r-111v). Many of the folios show evidence of considerable damp. This manuscript was likely copied in the 18th century CE.
