Scope and Content

This volume contains one of the four Divans of Mustafa Rıza Neccarzade, a Nakşibendi Şeyh who died in 1159 AH (1746-47 CE). The title of this Divan, Zuhurat-i Mekkiye, is given in a short preface in verse. The Zuhurat opens with a kaside, after which na't and gazeller start on f 10v. These are primarily in praise of the Prophet Muhammad صلعم. The manuscript was likely copied in the latter half of the 18th century CE.
