Scope and Content

This volume contains the collected poetry, divided among four Divanlar, of Mustafa Rızaeddin Dügerzade, also known as Neccarzade, Şeyh of the Nakşibendi tekke at Beşiktaş (1090-1159 AH/1679-1746 CE). The contents of the present manuscript appear to be similar to those of the Vatican manuscript, which is divided into 6 sections. Here, however, there are a total of eight sections, each marked with an identical unvan, beginning on ff 1v, 8v, 73v, 108v, 117v, 151v, 161v, and 188v. According to Gibb, the Divanlar are entitled Tuhfetü'l-irşad; Varidat-i gaybiye (although Or 7188 has Futuhat-i gaybiye); Zuhurat-i Mekkiye; and Hatimetü'l-varidat. This manuscript was copied by Seyit Mehmet Sadık İbn-i Hafız Mehmet Tahir and was completed on 25 Şeval 1241 AH (22 February 1826 CE).
