Scope and Content

This volume contains a mystical work composed in 901 AH (1495-95 CE) by Şeyhzade, according to some verses on f 29r. The work appears to be unique and, judging by the number of takrizler on the first two folios, it must have been greatly appreciated by readers. This manuscript is undated, but it was likely copied in the 16th century CE.
