Scope and Content

This volume contains a revised version of the collection of fetava bearing the same title compiled by Fetva Emini Ahmet Efendi. The reviser, Seyit Hafız Mehmet İbn-i Ahmet Gedusi (died 27 Ramazan 1253 AH/25 December 1837 CE) rose to become Kazasker of Anatolia and also wrote a commentary on the Hidaye. This manuscript differs from the one found in Berlin as it lacks the word 'resm-i' after 'sene'de' in the penultimate line of the text. The text contains a few marginal annotations, a table of contents (ff 1v-4v), a small illuminated unvan (f 6v), and clumsy floral ornamentation in gold and red on ff 6v-7r. There is slight worming on some of the margins. This manuscript is undated, but was likely copied in the early-to-mid 19th century CE.
