Scope and Content

This volume contains the following two texts :. ff 2r-120r : The Divan of İbrahim Hakkı of Erzurum (died 1186 AH/1772-73 CE). The work is imperfect at the beginning and opens in the middle of a müveşşeh. This is followed by 8 kasideler, a mesnevi called Aşkname, a na't, and a further poem ending on f 11r. The next section called İlahiname begins on f 11v. The last sections of the Divan are müseddes and muhammes (ff 93v-99r); rubaiyyat, müfredat and other poems (ff 99r-107v); a mesnevi entitled Vuslatname (ff 108r-111r); münacat (ff 111r-112r); Pendname, a poem in kaside form (ff 112r-113r); İkbalname, another poem in the same category (ff 113r-114r); a müstezad (ff 114r-115r); münacat (ff 115r-116r); two mesneviler entitled Vasiyetname (ff 116r-117r); various beytler and other short poems including a mesnevi entitled İbretname (ff 119v-120r);. ff 121v-194v : Divan-i Sezai, a compilation of the poetical work of Sezai of the Gülşeniye tarikat who died in 1151 AH (1738-39 CE) according to OM I, p. 84. This begins with a kaside, followed by more kasideler, tercilar, muhammesat and müseddesat, all ending on f 130r. From this, we have gazeller (ff 130v-189v); Rubaiyat (ff 189v-192v); müfredat (ff 192v-194v); and three chronograms. The metres in both divans are indicated by standard mnemonic patterns. There are two colophons, the first of which (f 107v) states that the divan was copied by Derviş İsmail Efendi in 1168 AH (1754-55 CE), while the second one (f 120r) gives the name of the copyist as Derviş Hasan and the date as 1205 AH (1790-91 CE). These would appear to have been copied from another manuscript, but in any event, the current copy appears to have been completed in the 18th century CE.
