PREFACE It is with pride and happiness that I am here able to present to the students of Turkish literature the second volume of the catalogue of Turkish manuscripts in the Netherlands compiled by Jan Schmidt. With indomitable energy Jan Schmidt has continued to work in the past two years, after the publication of the first vol ume of his catalogue in 2000, on the second and third volumes of the Turkish catalogue. With the third volume the description of the Turkish manuscripts in the Oriental section of the Leiden collection will be complete. The fourth volume will contain descriptions of the Turkish manuscripts in loan- and non-oriental collections in the Leiden Library as well as those kept in Dutch depositories out side the Leiden University Library. Looking at the acquisitions in Leiden University Libraiy between 1800 and 1970, which is the scope of the present volume, one cannot fail to recognize that there is a twofold change as compared to the previous period. Bequests and auc tions of the libraries of deceased scholars usually were the origin for the collec tions described in the first volume. In that earlier period the collections mostly came from such luminaries as Jacobus Golius (1596-1667), Levinus Warner (1619-1665) and members of the Schultens family in the eighteenth century. With these three names, almost all manuscripts acquired before 1800, both Turk ish and other, could be given their provenance. Within that period there was hardly any development in ways of acquisition. The manuscripts arrived in the Library after they had been in the possession of the scholar who had collected them in the first place. A summary glance at the table of contents of the present volume shows an en tirely different situation. There were no great scholars any more to make a pre selection of manuscripts for the collections which would, some day, adorn the shelves of the Leiden Library. At the same time a shift in the methods of acquisi tion has become discernable. The collections of manuscripts which were brought to Leiden in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries had given Leiden a headstart which could not easily be overtaken by any of the other large libraries in the Dutch Republic, assuming that that had ever been their wish. This comfortable situation must have given the Leiden Library the leasure to sit, wait and see its centripetal force attract manuscripts from many comers. One sometimes gets the impression that by vir tue of the very size of the Leiden Library manuscripts would gravitate towards it, at least so the situation in the nineteenth century can best be characterized. Sev eral institutions of eduction or learning in the Netherlands would simply transfer their exotic manuscripts to the Leiden Library, since there and only there, the added value, which constitutes the cataloguing and the making available of the material to the readers in an institutional environment, could be given to the manuscripts. At the same time awareness was growing in the Library that a regu lar supply of funds would be the best guarantee for a steady increase of the col lections. In the twentieth century other ways of acquisition developed, and more and more antiquarian circles, auction sales in and outside the Netherlands, and private
dealers would be the parties from whom the Turkish manuscripts were derived. Hardly ever were the manuscripts connected with scholars’ names. There were - and are of course, still scholars, Turcologists and others, who collect books but they would bring together important libraries consisting of printed books. Manu scripts had ceased to be scholarly collectibles, both by their decreasing necessity and usefulness in scholarship and because of their increasing rarity. Now they became objects of desire fashionable among the many gentlemen dealers of the twentieth century. It is an illustration of the changes that took place inside schol arly librarianship over the past centuries, and it shows at the same time a shift in the nature of the cultural relationship between the Netherlands and the Turkish world. Jan Schmidt has, in his introductory paragraphs to each chapter, given the rele vant information about the origin of a manuscript or a collection of manuscripts in great detail. Together these introductory paragraphs lead the reader who is interested in the development of scholarly collecting in the direction which I have just shortly sketched. The organization of this catalogue, by the presentation of the material in order of the accession numbers, has remained the same as that of the first volume. It of fers the reader, for the first time in the history of the Leiden catalogues of Middle Eastern manuscripts, a full scale opportunity to follow the development of the formation of the collection, and hence my repeated remarks on precisely that subject. From this and from the previous volume of the present catalogue, it becomes clear that there is indeed a cultural and historical context, within which the com ing of Turkish manuscript texts into Dutch collections can be placed. In the pre sent volume once more an effort has been made, in addition to opening up the Turkish manuscript resources for their own sake, to produce information which leads to a deeper insight into this particular dimension of the relations between the Netherlands and the Turkish world. As in the case of the first volume, our gratitude goes to the Netherlands Organi zation of Advanced Research (NWO) which decided to fund the research costs of the cataloguing project. Its liberal assistance in this matter is once more grate fully acknowledged. As this was the case with the first volume, the importance of the technical and administrative infrastructure which the Leiden Library was willing and able to provide should not be underestimated. The personal effort of several of the Li brary’s officials in order to make this project run smoothly and pleasantly have, till now, significantly contributed to the completion of the present and following volumes. We hope that the timely publication of this catalogue will convince the academic authorities that their provisions have been used in a cost-effective way. We also hope that what has been done for the Turkish manuscripts will some day be done for collections of manuscripts in other languages as well.

1 1. Early 19th-century acquisitions Most manuscripts acquired by the Leiden University Library during the early decades of the 19th century once belonged to orientalists or contain texts written or copied by them; among these we find notebooks, glossaries, transcripts and translations of Turkish letters and histories. The orientalists who owned or authored these texts nearly all occupied the chair of Oriental Languages at the university and were curators of the Oriental Manuscript Collection at the University Library (‘interpres legati Wamerianï, named after the core of the collection donated by Levinus Warner in the 17th century and described in the first volume of this catalogue). The first among them was Johannes Heyman (1667-1737, professor from 1710) who wrote Codices Or. 1310 and Or. 1395; a few letters addressed to him or transcribed and translated by him are found in Cod.Or. 1380. His legacy was probably sold or given away after his death and came into the possession of a number of Dutch orientalists, among them Jan Jacob Schultens (Cod.Or. 1228, see the first volume, Chapter 5) and a certain Dresselhuis, probably identical to the Protestant minister and school inspector Johannes Dresselhuis (1789-1861) - the latter donated Cod.Or. 1395 to the library. More work, in this case a collection of transcripts, done by Heyman was acquired by Johannes Henricus van der Palm (1763-1840, professor in Leiden from 1796), and later in the century purchased from his estate by the library (Cod.Or. 1598, see Chapter 6). Heyman, like his predecessors and successors in Leiden, was recruited as translator and interpreter by the government of the Dutch Republic, the States- General in The Hague, as well as by the Directorate of the Levant Trade and Navigation in the Mediterranean Sea, a loosely structured organisation which co ordinated the surveillance of the activities of Dutch shippers and traders in the designated area. Heyman, for whom figures are available, was paid quite handsomely for these services: in February 1711 and again in March 1713 he received the sums of, respectively, 500 and 600 guilders from the Directors for a few bundles of letters (cf. Heeringa, Bronnen II, pp. 350, 497). At that time, a cow cost about 70 guilders, 100 pounds of cheese 13.08 guilders (in 1715) and a stoup of sweet wine 1.66 guilders (cf. Posthumus, Prijsgeschiedenis II, pp. 496, 479, 466). Like Heyman, his successors Albert Schultens (1686-1750), professor in Leiden from 1732, father of Jan Jacob; Jan Jacob Schultens himself; and the latter’s son Hendrik Albert (1749-93), professor in Amsterdam (1773-8) and Leiden (from 1778), were also commissioned to translate documents received in The Hague. Their activities resulted in a remarkable collection of 18th-century letters, originals, transcripts and draft translations, mostly addressed by the Barbary States to the States-General: Codices Or. 1353 and 1380-7 (a few unrelated items in Cod. Or. 1380 seem to have been added later). It is not known
2 whether the translators were explicitly allowed to keep originals, but Their Excellencies in any case do not seem to have minded when they did. Not all originals were kept by them, and quite a few are found, with neat translations in thier hand, in the letter archive (‘liassen’) of the States-General in The General State Archives of the Netherlands (Algemeen Rijksarchief, hereafter ARA) in The Hague. Cod.Or. 1353, transcripts and translations by Hendrik Albert Schultens, may have been acquired from his widow in 1806. The series Codices Or. 1380-7 may well have been belonged to Hendrik Arent Hamaker (1795-1835), a Leiden professor of a later generation (he was appointed in 1817). He transcribed and translated one letter, in fact the most recent (Cod.Or. 1387, No. 73, of 1825), in this sub-collection. Another transcript in his hand is found in Cod.Or. 1354, an epistolary collection which seems to have been produced at the French Embassy in Istanbul in the late 18th century. This manuscript probably also stemmed from his library. (Hamaker’s library was sold at auction in October 1836, see the inventory of purchases in Leiden University Library Archive F-7). Cod.Or. 1362, a collection of glossaries, was part of a small collection of notebooks with grammatical, lexical, geographical and bibliographical annotations (Codices Or. 1356-64) bought at an auction in Paris in 1831 from the library of the French judge and politician Louis-Jéröme Gohier (1746-1830) - incidentally, he also was consul-general in Amsterdam between 1801 and 1810 (cf. DBF 16, cols. 499-500). The writer of at least a part of these works, but probably all of them, was the polymath Faustino de Borbon y Vandoma (see for instance the introduction in Cod.Or. 1361, f. la) and they may have been taken to France as war booty seized from the private library of the Spanish King (cf. the note ‘es del Rey’ in Cod.Or. 1360, f. la) by Napoleon’s army during the Iberian campaign (1808-14) (cf. CCO I, p. 52n). De Borbon, who flourished in the second half of the 18th century, was, reputedly, a natural son of the Infante Don Gabriel, brother of Charles III, and spent most of his life in the Escorial Library (see on his life and works, Pascual de Gayangos’s translation of Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Makkarf’s History of the Mohammedan Dynasties in Spain 1 (London 1840), pp. ix-x). Three manuscripts, Codices Or. 1389, 1390 and 1392, were given to the Library by a certain Mr. Chauguion, professor in Capetown, probably identical to Antoine Nicole Ernest Chauguion (1803-1881), student in Leiden between 1828 and 1830, and from 1831 professor of Dutch in Capetown; it is known that he had a wide interest in languages (cf. NNBW IV, cols. 408-10; Suid-Afnkaanse Biografiese Woordeboek II (1972), pp. 131-4). Chauguion may have donated the manuscripts before he left for South Africa. Cod.Or. 1408 was part of a collection of autographs by Hamaker, bought from his estate in 1836. This collection mostly consists of a series of fragmentary translations into Latin, often no more than five to six folios, of oriental works,
3 all written in a minute, almost illegible handwriting. Among them there are a few works on geography (a fragment on Iraq from the University Library copy, Cod.Or. 602 - the colophon of this copy is tmalated at the end - of Sipahlzade’s Mesalik-i memalik: Cod.Or. 1406), and on Seljuk (Cod.Or. 1411) and Ottoman history: translated fragments from the oeuvre of the famous historians Hoca Sa'duddfn (d. 1008/1599, Cod.Or. 1433) and of Mimeccimba^i (d. 1113/1702, Codices Or. 1409 and 1415; cf. GOW, p. 235; see also under Cod.Or. 8799), not further described here. The collection also, curiously, contains a handwritten catalogue of printed books and manuscripts of Arabic, Persian and Turkish works kept in the Uppsala University Library (Cod.Or. 1402). Finally, of unknown provenance, are Codices Or. 1311 and 1355, the latter an autograph Turkish-French phrasebook written by a scholar or traveller.

4 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1310, 1311) Cod.Or. 1310 A Turkish-Latin glossary The glossary, which contains only infinitives of Turkish verbs, is a neat draft by Johannes Heyman (1667-1737), professor of Oriental Languages at Leiden University from 1710 (cf. Nat, ‘Studie’, pp. 23-6; Juynboll, Beoefenaars, pp. 240-1; NNBW IX, p. 362). The leaves of the manuscript are folded into double columns. The glossary is mostly written on the left columns of each recto side, with additional information - some of the information is in French - in the right columns and verso sides. Items occasionally contain quotations demonstrating usage and abbreviated references to sources, not further explained. Bound in boards with leather backing; white paper with ‘Pro Patria’ watermarks (cf. Heawood 3696 ff.); 1 + 160+4 folios; 320x198 mm alternating with smaller leaves of 250x185 mm; f. 160 is part of a loose quire of one leaf, 250x195 mm.

6 EARLY-19TH CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1311, cont.) the title page (la) and the second flyleaf (recto). The history covers the years 962/1554-5 (the ‘appearance of coffee in Rüm’) to 1049/1640 (the death of Sultan Murad IV). The content of the present copy differs for the early reigns from that of the printed edition of 1281-3: the chapters on the last years of Siileyman the Magnificent and the introductory chapters of the following reign of Sultan Selim II break off with a passage about the latter’s sons (38b); they are followed by a digression on the rulers of the Crimea and the De$t-i Kip^ak (39b-40a), in turn followed by chapters on Yemen and the Yemen campaign of Sokolli Sinan Pa§a (of 975-6/1568-9, as in the printed edition I, p. 476 ff.). The death of Selim II and the succession of Murad III are described on ff. 58b-59a, followed by a chapter, written by a different copyist, on the reception of a French ambassador by Sultan Mehmed II (61b-62a). It is followed (62a) by a chapter on the campaigns of Murad’s time and the appointment of Lala Kara Mustafa Pa§a as commander of the Persian campaign in 985/1578; the decription of the sultan’s reign ends on f. 145b. The history continues with, subsequently, the reigns of Mehmed III (147a-225b); Ahmed I (226b-269b); Mustafa I (270b-290a); Mustafa I (second period, 291a-297b); and Murad IV (298b-346a). Extensive marginal additions in the same hand as found on ff. 61b-62a are added to ff. 39b-42b. A note on "the beginnings of tobacco smoking" (zuhür-i §ürb-i duhan, with the year 1007/1598-9) is added in the margin of f. 2b. The text of the first sura, preceded by a heading in red, is found on the verso side of the first flyleaf. Three distichs in Persian and Turkish are written on f. la. Separate notes written on small pieces of paper are found between ff. 19b-20a (a talismanic recipe with diagram); 69b-70a (a prayer formula, four lines); 139b- 140a (the opening lines of two letters, 11 and 13 lines); and 257b-258a (four slips of dark green paper covered with the text of various ilahis by Dervï§ Yünus, Merkezf, §emsf, Niyazï, Shaykh CemalT and Dervi§ Himmet). Bound in brown leather with flap; glazed white paper; 2+346+3 folios; 205x145 mm and 155x95 mm, varying; 17 lines; catchwords; nesih with dïvanïelements; ta ‘lik in ff. 61b-62a and margins of ff. 39b-42b; headings, rubrics and dots in red; the copy was finished on 23 Cemaii l-ewel 1068 (26 February 1658) by Dem$ Mustafa b. Mehmed el-Yava§I; four owner’s inscriptions, made partly illegible and with the names Mustafa and ‘Osman as well as the years 1070 (1659) and 1162 (1748-9), are found on the second flyleaf (recto) and f. la; an illegible seal occurs in the top margin of f. lb.
7 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1311, cont., 1353)
8 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1353, cont.) (‘Interpres legati Warnerianï) in Leiden (from 1778, cf. Nat, ‘Studie’, pp. 88-99; NNBW V, cols. 711-3). The letters, numbered I to XLV, cover the period 1193/1779 to 1206/1792 and most were sent by the Sultan of Morocco, the Deys (dayis) of Algiers and Tripoli (Libya) and the Bey of Tunis. Schultens was paid by for his translation work, as is clear from notes (‘betaald' and the like) added to most letters (cf. Nat, ‘Studie’, p. 95). Letters in Turkish are the following: II (2b-4a), ‘All, Dey (mir-i miran) of Tripoli to the States-General, dated Rebi'ii l-evvel 1193/March-April 1779 (received 20 October 1780); concerns a request for the protection of his envoy, Haccf ‘Abdurrahman, who will be travelling to Denmark and Sweden. (The transcription is headed by a remark of Schultens in which he excuses himself for a paraphrase of the contents, not yet being used to reading the particular script used in the letter.) III (3b-4a), a ferman issued by ‘All, Dey (mir-i miran) of Tripoli and his Council (ocak), announcing the appointment of Haccf ‘Abdurrahman Aga as envoy (‘vekil- i mutlaklMinister Plenipotentiair'), dated Rebi'ii l-evvel 1193/March-April 1779 (received 24 October 1780).

It had been on its way to Trieste with a costly freight and the Dutch consul, Simon Rijs (in function 1770-2, d. 1784 at Algiers, cf. Schutte, Repertorium, p. 367; cf. under XVII, below), had agreed to act as trustee (vekil). The ship and its freight were sold in Leghorn (Livorno) but the consul subsequently declined all resposibility and soon afterwards departed for his new post in Algiers. The Dey requests that the States-General asume its responsibility, that the envoy be duly received and his mind set at ease. V (6b-8a), the Bey of Tunis, Mehmed Pa$a, to the States-General, dated 1196/1782 (received 19 August 1782); reports the death of his father, ‘All Pa§a, and his own appointment as mir-i miran and mir-i liva by the Porte.

XVII (25b-26a), the Dey of Algiers to the States-General, dated 1 Zi l-ka‘de 1199/17 September 1785 (received 13 January 1786); reports the death of the Dutch consul, Simon Rijs (cf. under IV, above); his two children will travel to Holland and it is requested that they be received well. XVIII (26b-27a), a note from the Dey of Algiers to the States-General, received 7 April 1786), with a list of goods, mostly wooden planks, of which delivery from Holland is requested.

The MS may have been taken to France as war booty seized from the private library of the Spanish king (see also the introduction to this chapter). Cod.Or. 1380 A collection of letters The collection consists of loose sheets of paper containing copies of letters, both originals and transcriptions in Arabic script, with translations into Dutch. Most transcriptions and translations are drafts, often difficult to read, made by Albert Schultens (1686-1750), curator of the Warner Legacy at the Leiden University
22 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1380, cont.) Library and professor of Oriental languages at the same university from 1732 (cf. Nat, ‘Studie’, pp. 37-57). There are fourteen items, ten of which are numbered (and registered in Latin in a separate note by the curator H.E. Weyers - brief descriptions in a minuscule script of the unnumbered items have been added later). The letters are kept in a cardboard box covered in black, orange and red marbled paper with leather edges. The unnumbered items, probably added at a later date, are: (1*) a folded sheet of paper (335x220 mm) containing a letter of friendship in dïvanï script addressed to an agha, thanking him for the news of what happened at Varadin (Petrovaradin, 'Varadin vuku'indan ahbar’), and signed by the Dutch pastor (Felemenk papasi), the Reverend Johan Heyman, at Izmir but written, probably, by a dragoman; it is dated 1 Muharrem 1117 (25 April 1705) (see plate). The lower margin contains greetings conveyed by ‘our consul’ Daniel de Hochepied, his wife and son; Heyman also reminds the agha of the two ‘beautiful gazelles’ (gazal-i ra'nalar) promised by ibrahïm Aga and to be sent through him; he further complains about the bad treatment received from the miisellim of Acre and the fact that he had to pay twelve gurus to the French consul before he left; "our friend also sent a letter and a cotton spindle (penbe (arhi) [to you]; would you be so kind, if a ship is going to anchor at Jaffa, to send these to our friend Paulo Marzuk [Paul Maashoek]? Some gunpowder and small shot were also sent to you; would you please accept [our] apologies when they arrive?" On the back are fragments of (draft) letters in Dutch and French discussing, respectively, the threatened bankruptcy of Mr. Goske ("his friends at Leghorn have already washed their hands of him...", signed by Mr. Paijen) - the consul, De Hochepied, and his wife are greeted - and a journey from Lamaca to Izmir (with greetings to Mademoiselle Paijen, anonymous, written at Izmir). Johannes Heyman (1667-1737), was Protestant minister to the Dutch community in Izmir (1699-1705) and travelled in Egypt, Palestine and Syria in 1704-5; in 1707 he was appointed to the chair of Oriental languages at Leiden University (cf. Santberg, Gereformeerde gemeente, pp. 112-4); Daniel de Hochepied was probably Daniel Jean de Hochepied (1657-1723), who came to Izmir in 1688 (cf. Schutte, Repertorium, p. 309); Paul Maashoek was a Dutch merchant residing in Aleppo and Acre; Heyman probably made his acquaintance during his travels (cf. Schmidt, ‘Heyman papers’); Goske was Giovanni (Johann) Gosche, originally of Riga, Dutch consul at Aleppo (1695-1703, who was imprisoned at Leghorn (Livorno) in 1705 and moved to Holland by 1708 (cf. Schutte, Repertorium, p. 352).

24 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1380, cont.) (2*) A folded sheet of thick white paper (530x282 mm) with an original copy of the treaty concluded between the Dutch admiral, Michiel de Ruyter, and the governor of Algiers in 1073/1662 (gold-dusted dïvanï, 29 lines, with signature - a penge of three tugs - and seal of isma‘11 Pa§a, see plate). On the outside is written 'Dit zijn de artickelen ende teekening van de Bassa van Argier 1662 Beteekent den 19 Novemb.' and 'Ex legato Papenbroekii’ (This bequest was acquired by the library in 1743, see Leiden Universiy Library Archive L-3a and L-4 - G. van Papenbroek was a resident of Leiden and lived in a house on the main canal of the town named Rapenburg.) The letter mentions the arrival at Algiers of De Ruyter (‘ J! 5JJ I’) with ten ships on 2 Rebf'ii l-aliir 1073 (14 November 1662); his reception in the Divan; the reading of the translated text of the capitulations (‘ahdname); and the negotiated agreement comprising the following points: local corsairs would no longer attack Dutch ships if the latter could show valid passports; Dutchmen would no longer be captured and sold as slaves; Dutch merchants would not have to pay the ‘ö§ür (tenth ) tax; Dutch ships wrecked on the coast would no longer be routinely plundered; and financial conflicts between Dutchmen and Muslims as well as criminal cases between Dutchmen were to be settled with the assistance of the consul. (The treaty was confirmed by the States-General in March 1663, cf. Heeringa, Bronnen II, p. 486.) (3*) Four sheets of paper, folded into a quire (each page measures approximately 165x110 mm), with a copy in two columns of a letter received on 13 February 1710, but written in Leghorn (Livorno, ‘aij^ill’) on 29 February and 5 March 1708; the second column of each page contains corrections and additions, occasionally also remarks in Dutch. The copy is written in neshi script, clearly in the handwriting of Johannes Heyman, and seems to be a draft copy of a translation into Turkish (see also under 4' and Cod.Or. 1598, below). A Dutch version of the letter is found in Heeringa, Bronnen II, pp. 478-80, the original of which is preserved in the General Dutch State Archives in The Hague (collection Directorate of the Levant Trade (hereafter LH), No. 186, which contains various other papers on the case in Dutch and Italian, not printed in Bronnen). The letter consists of two parts, ‘B’ and ‘D’ in our manuscript - of both parts an Italian translation is said to exist - and is a statement made before the Dutch consul Thomas Slicher on the capture of the French ship The Prophet Daniel (de Propheet Daniël, ‘ JUI.» by Dutch privateers. In it the captain, Joseph Estoupan and the ship’s clerk (yazici), Francisco ‘Brue’ (‘»i>’, but, probably more correctly, ‘Crue’ in the Dutch translation), declare that they left Alexandria

EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1380, cont.) on 28 December [1707] with 75 passengers, Muslims and Jews, both "whites and servants", as well as a freight consisting of, mainly, textiles and rice. They sailed by way of Cyprus - where, according to the Dutch translation, they docked after a storm which had caused a problem with the rudder - towards Süsa (Sousse), Tripoli and Tunis but were stopped by the ships Walcheren, under Captain Samson Peirard, and 't Welvaren van Middelburg under Captain Andries Nancke. both from Zeeland, near the island of ‘Argentiera’ (probably Argenteria, Kimolos) on 22 January; the ship was captured and escorted to Leghorn. According to a separate declaration by Captain Estoupan preserved in the same archival file LH 186, the privateers came on board first thing in the morning after the capture and demanded money and jewels from the Muslim passengers, male and female; only one of them declared he had these with him, a certain Haccf Mustafa, who handed them 112 coins worth about 800 reals: "... [zij hebben] laten roepen, dat ingevalle iemand van hen luijden mochte hebben eenig juweel, goud, off zilver, ‘t zij geld ofte iets anders, dat gij sulx zoude hebben te seggen, en het zelve brengen bij de voomoemde Zeeusse Capitein ende zij hebben van gelijcken geantwoort, zoo de vrouwluijden als de manspersoonen, sonder exceptie, dat zij daar van niets hadden, behalven alleen Haggi Mustafa dewelke hadde twee hondert en twaalff stuckken in diverse soorten van geit, bedragende omtrent voor reekening hondert stucken van acht realen, die hij heeft overgeleevert aan de voorn: Zeeuwsse capiteijns". Upon complaints to the Porte about the disruptive activities of the two privateers by Ottoman customs officers, the Grand Vizier summoned the Dutch ambassador in Istanbul, Jacob Colyer, and toldhim that hostilities between Dutch, French and English ships in the Aegean archipelago should stop (summary of a letter of 30 July 1708 to the States-General, in Resolutien (1708), p. 889). The States-General later instructed Colyer to take the necessary measures and inform Slicher that the Turkish (Ottoman) subjects should be set free and their goods restituted (ibidem, p. 1215). The second part of the letter is mainly a list of the passengers, with an account of their religion, place of origin and, occasionally, the possessions they had with them on board the captured ship. Both parts are signed by the consul. (4*) A folded sheet of paper (two folios in two columns, 330x210 mm) which contains the neat version of ‘B’, mentioned under 3 , in the handwriting of Johannes Heyman. It is headed ‘fehadetname surati', followed by the remark that the letter had been translated into French and Dutch (see also under 3 , above). 26

Schutte, Repertorium, p. 378); dated Muharrem 1144 (July-August 1731).

The transcriptions and translations, with the exception probably of the French translation in (20), were drafts made by Albert Schultens (1686-1750), his son Jan Jacob Schultens (1716-78), and the latter’s son, Hendrik Albert Schultens (1749-93), all three curators of the Warner Legacy at the Leiden University Library and professors of Oriental languages at the same university (Nat, ‘Studie’, pp. 37 ff.). There are ten items, numbered 11 to 20; these are registered in Latin in a separate note by the curator H.E. Weyers. The letters are kept in a cardboard box covered in black and brown marbled paper with leather edges. We find the following items: (11) An original copy of a letter from Ibrahim Pa§a, valtof Algiers, to the Dutch States-General, with his signature of a pence with three tugs and seal; received 13 April 1735 (see plate). The content runs thus: our corsairs have stopped numberless ships in order to check their passes, but some ships refused to co operate on the grounds that they were Dutch; among them were ships from Hamburg and Denmark; this is contrary to the ‘ahdname and peace agreements and leads to chaos; we only grant passes to your corsair and merchant ships and these must be shown on request; the letter continues to relate an incident that took place on 12 February off the coast of Madeira where an Algerian corsair, Mehmed Re is son of Mehmed Re’Is, stopped a merchantman ( u <- ■ jLSjjb)- when the captain was asked for his pass, he said: "My passport isYnJj guns" and directed his cannon towards our corsair who, thereupon, hoisted the Algerian flag. When she approached the merchantman, the latter fired five cannon-balls; the ensuing crisis lasted for three days; finally our corsair hit the hostile vessel, five of its men were killed as well as a few on our side; the merchantman was captured and escorted to Algiers; among the crew were three to four Dutchmen and the captain, who had been killed, reportedly was also Dutch; because of the

34 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1381, cont.) ties of friendship we have, for once, set the men free and put the ship, of Tuscan ownership, in the hands of your consul; dated Zf l-ka‘de 1147 (March-April 1735). Coarse cream paper, approximately 540x375 mm, 19 lines, calligraphic nesih. The letter is accompanied by two folded sheets of paper (four folios, 210x163 mm) with a transcription and translation into, mostly, Latin of a part of the original letter in two columns by Hendrik Albert Schultens (cf. Cod.Or. 1353, see also plate). More details of the incident, some contradictory, are found in the letter archive of the States-General (SG) in The Hague which include reports by the consul, Paravicini (cf. under Cod.Or. 1380, above), and by the victimised crew as well as the letter sent from The Hague to the Dey in response. From Paravicmi’s report it appears that a flute (‘fluytschip’) named Johanna Elisabeth under Captain Dirck Maroon, out of the Island of Texel departed for Curasao from Amsterdam on 1 February. On the 12th she was accosted by the Algerian corsair off the Canary Islands and after a stalemate of three days escorted to Algiers, where she arrived on 10 March. The consul immediately approached the Dey for information. The latter claimed that the ship was of Hamburg origin and that its capture was none of his business. The Algerian captain interrogated in Paravicini’s presence claimed that the (Dutch) captain had refused to show his pass and that he eventually fired a blank shot ('een schot los kruyt’); this was answered with live shots. The next day, the (Dutch) captain hoisted a blue flag and the ship’s crew demonstrated hostility ('het volk van de fluyt, in het wand klimmende, hoezee roepende, en meer andere verachtelyke demonstratien doende..."), whereupon the Algerian attacked. The consul was sent away and shortly afterwards informed that four members of the crew as well as ‘a Negress’ had been taken to the 'Bassistan' or slave market; another passenger was imprisoned in the Bagnio, his legs chained to the wall with iron shackles like a slave. Later. Paravicini was summoned to appear before the Dey who informed him that the crew had all claimed to be Dutchmen; Paravicini, was ordered to take the Christians with him to his house’. Despite vehement protests, the Dey later decided to let the ship go but without its rich cargo, worth at least 200,000 ‘Algerian Pesos’. The consul suspected that the ship had been captured on purpose because the Dey was short of cash and needed money urgently. Another result of the violent confrontation was that of the 21-strong crew, only thirteen survived, among them two ‘boys’; five had been wounded, one of whom died on the 21st and another three were still under the care of a local surgeon (letter of 24 March 1735, ARA SG 6944).
35 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1381, cont.) The surviving crew reported that when they were accosted by the corsair and had told that they were on their way to Curasao, the Algerians had failed to declare their identity and had had begun to fire. After repeated cannonades from both sides - the Dutch captain thought he was engaged with a privateer from Sale; she flew a red flag - the Dutch ship was captured in the afternoon of the 14th during which the captain and five crew were shot dead with pistols; the first mate ('opperstuurman), begging for his life, was forced to put his hands on one of the guns; these were hacked off and, prostrate on the deck, he was finished off. In the evening the remaining crew were taken on board the Algerian vessel and forced to confess that they were from Hamburg. When they protested that they were Dutch and that they could prove this with a passport, one of the Algerian captains, a short, fat man with two thumbs on one hand", various Turks, three Dutch sailors and "a Dutch slave who served as translator" went on board the Dutch ship on the 15th. "Arrived in the cabin below deck (beneeden Kajuyt) I, Comelis Wiltschut, showed the captain’s chest. It was broken open by the Dutch slave, and when I wanted to point out the tin box in which the passport and naval charters (zeebrieven) were locked, we were all sent off to the cable tier” while the captain and the Turks remained in the saloon "opening chests and boxes, tearing up letters and papers..." When they again appeared, they declared to have found no passport. On 10 March they arrived in Algiers (dated 13 March 1735, signed by thirteen men, nearly all with Dutch names, ibidem). The States-General wrote to the Dey on 16 April that they were glad that the incident had not affected good mutual relations, but deplored the unnecessarily brutal behaviour of the corsair (ibidem). (12) A folded sheet of paper (two folios, approximately 205x160 mm) with a transcription and translation by Albert Schultens of a letter from Ibrahim, vail of Algiers, to the States-General, received 21 May 1736. The Dey thanks the gentlemen for their letter of friendship which safely arrived with their captain, Peters, dated Ramazan 1148 (January-February 1736). (13) Two folded sheets of paper (four folios) of the same format with a transcription and translation into Dutch by Albert Schultens of letter from ‘AIT, Beg of Tunis, to the States-General. The Bey reports the safe arrival of two galleons, sent to restore friendly relations; an adapted version of the old treaty was drawn up with the help of the consul, [Joseph] Hudson (cf. Schutte, Repertorium, p. 371), and the Bey requests that it be confirmed by Their Excellencies, dated late Cemazj: l-ahir 1154 (2-11 September 1741).
36 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1381, cont.) (14) Two folded sheets of paper (four folios) of the same format with a transcription and translation into Dutch by Albert Schultens of letter from the governor of Tripoli to the States-General, received 1 March 1749. The Dey reminds Their Excellencies that 16 years have passed without the arrival of a an envoy or letter from Holland; nor has an envoy been sent from Tripoli; therefore he has decided to make amends and send el-Haccf ‘All Efendi, member of the Divan, with presents to reinforce the ties of friendship, dated Ramazan 1161 (Augu'st-September 1748). The sheets are folded in a larger folded leaf (two folios, 320x 202 mm), with a transcription of part of the same letter in a neat neshi script in the handwriting of Jan Jacob Schultens. (15) A folded sheet of paper in the same (small) format with a transcription by Albert Schultens of a letter of friendship from the Dey of Algiers, Mehmed Pa§a, to the Prince of Orange [Willem IV, held title 1747-51] and the States-General, received 24 August 1749; dated Cemazf l-evvel 1162 (April-May 1749). (16) An original copy of a letter (see plate) from el-Haccf ‘All Efendi at Tripoli (Libya) to Mr. [Hendrik] Fagel (registrar, ‘griffier', to the States-General, in office 1744-90, cf. NNBW III, cols. 390-1), informing him of the death of the Dutch consul [Philippus Gerbrands] who has temporarily been replaced by [the vice-consul] Pellegrim [Vidari] and requesting him to send a letter to confirm the appointment (cf. Schutte, Repertorium, pp. 366-7); dated early Safer 1163 (10-9 January 1750). Dutch paper with watermark (horn and legend Gerrevink, cf. Churchill 318), 470x380 mm, nine lines, nesiti- The letter is accompanied by a folded sheet of paper (2 folios, 203x160 mm), with a transcription in Arabic script and Latin glosses in two columns written by Hendrik Albert Schultens. (17) A sheet of paper (210x165 mm) with a transcription in Arabic script with interlinear and marginal glosses in, mostly, Latin of a letter from el-Hacci Alt Efendi to Fagel (=16, above) in the handwriting of Jan Jacob Schultens. It is accompanied by a folded leaf (two folios, approximately 325x205 mm) with a Dutch translation by the same. (18) A folded leaf (two folios, approximately 325x205 mm) with a, seemingly incomplete, Dutch translation in the handwriting of Jan Jacob Schultens of a letter of friendship from the Dey of Algiers, Mehmed Pa§a, to the States-General, dated 16 $ewdl 1163 (18 September 1750).

There are ten items, numbered 21 to 30; these are registered in Latin in a separate note by the curator H.E. Weyers. The letters are kept in a cardboard box covered in black and brown marbled paper. We find the following items. (21) An original copy of a letter from ‘All Pa§a, mir-i miran of Tripoli (Libya) to the States-General. The Dey reports the arrival of their consul George Hofman (cf.

43 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1382, cont.) ships of other nations - the successful negotiations of a new peace treaty; the Dey approved of the new consul [Francois Levett, cf. Schutte, Repertorium, p. 372]; dated Rebt'ii. l-ewel 1171 (November-December 1757). The letter is followed by a list of expected presents, including gunpowder, planks, anchor cables and sail canvas. Two smaller sheets (four folios, 210x165 mm) contain another copy of the translation, including the list of presents. (25) Two sheets of folded paper (four folios, approximately 325x210 mm) with a draft transcription and Dutch translation with extensive notes, partly in Latin and of palaeographic nature (see plates), of a letter in two columns; it was addressed by the Dey of Algiers, ‘AlTb. Mehmed, to the Prince [and the] States- General and dated Rebr'ii l-ewel 1171 (November-December 1757). Contents are identical with (24). (26 and 28) A bundle of papers, partly folded (21 folios, approximately 325x210 mm) containing transcriptions and translations with marginal notes of a letter from ‘AIT Pa§a, Dey of Algiers, to the Stadtholder (‘Dey’, dayi, of Holland’, ‘Master of the Council Members of the Coasts of Holland’, Holanda sevahilleriniin ehali-i divani sahibi), with three appendices. In it, the Dey complains that the presents to be donated on the occasion of the peace treaty (cf. under 24, above) had not been brought by Willem Crul (JjjÜ cf. Schutte, Repertorium, p. 372), commander of a galleon who had recently arrived with their letter and customary gifts; the Dey also requests the appointment of a new consul and the payment of 18,970 riydl [kuru$] for the liberation of twenty prisoners, "your Christians"; dated Muharrem 1172 (September-October 1758). The appendices contain lists of goods, weaponry and naval equipment, to be sent as presents as well as a specification of the ransom demanded. A second letter from the Dey to the Stadtholder announces the safe arrival of Joost Seis (cf. 24, above) and four galleons; the Dey again requests the appointment of another consul, the present one [Francois Levett, cf. 24, above] being completely useless "both to you and us"; a note (tez/cire) of the expected presents had been given to him; dated Cem&zi l-ahir 1172 (January-February 1759). (27) Three folded sheets (aproximately 210x155 mm and 325x210 mm) with a transcription - it includes a brief, incomplete Turkish-Latin glossary - and translation of a letter from Mehmed, mfr-i miran of Tunis, to the Prince, ‘King of the Dutch’, reporting on the arrival of Willem Crul (Jj$£ cf. 26, above) with their letter of friendship; dated late Safer 1172 (23 October - 1
44 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1382, cont., 1383) November 1758). (29) A folded sheet of paper (two folios, 325x205 mm) with a transcription and marginal glosses in Latin of an anonymous letter, but probably sent by the Bey of Tunis, addressed to the King of England; it reports the arrival of the consul Carlo [Charles] Gordon (üj-»j>* in office 1751-62, cf. Hausmann, Repertorium, p. 29) with a letter of friendship; the recent death of the sender’s brother, Mehmed Beg, and his own succession; as well as the capture of a French ship carrying Muslim merchants and their wares, which were sold in Leghorn (Livorno) by an English privateer; the sender asks for news about the merchants and expresses the hope that the goods will not be lost, dated early Receb 1172 (28 February - 8 March 1759). (30) An original copy of a letter (see plate) from ‘All, mir-i miran of Tunis, to the States-General, in which he reports on the death of his father and his own succession; he also expresses his hope that the peace treaty will be renewed - this certainly has nothing to do with buying peace, as the Dutch consul had expressed it! Dated end of $ewal 1172 (17-25 June 1759). Glazed paper, 650x415 mm, eleven lines, gold-dusted divani. Signed by apenge with three tugs- a seal as well as an address formula (identical with that in the first line of the letter) and remnants of red wax seals are found on the verso side. The letter is accompanied by a folded sheet of paper including a separate leaf (three folios, approximately 325x205 mm) with two transcriptions of the same letter, with occasional Latin glosses.

46 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1383, cont.) transcriptions and the translation were drafts made by Jan Jacob Schultens (1716- 1778), curator of the Warner Legacy at the Leiden University Library and professor of Oriental languages at the same university from 1749 (Nat, ‘Studie’, pp. 66-73). There are ten items, numbered 31 to 40; these were registered in Latin in a separate note by the curator H.E. Weyers. The letters are kept in a cardboard box covered in black, orange and red marbled paper with leather edges.

(49) Two folded sheets of paper and two separate leaves of the same format with two transcriptions, one of which is incomplete and with interlinear and marginal glosses, partly in Latin, and an (incomplete) translation with marginal additions by J.J. Schultens of a letter from ‘All Pa§a, Dey of Algiers, to, probably - no addressee is mentioned - the States-General informing them that he, the Dey, had commissioned the Greek merchant, Yani Iksenou (Giovanni Xeno, y ^jL»), to buy timber; the Greek thereupon instructed a Dutch business partner to charter and load a boat in Leghorn for him; when, however, the ship approached Algiers, it sighted Spanish privateers, and the captain had it sail to Cartagena (JjUjLs 4iL>.); there the Dutch merchant had the timber sold but did not pay a penny to his Greek partner; the Dey instructed Captain Braak (cf. under 48, above) to inform the Dutch government so that it could take measures, let prevail justice and uphold the mutual frienship; dated Ce/natf l-evvel 1179 (October-November 1765) (see also under Cod.Or. 1386, No. 63, below; see also plates showing the original neat draft sent to the States-General). (More details on the case are found in the correspondence of the States-General (SG) in the General Dutch State Archives. In various letters sent by Consul Ellinckhuijsen (cf. under 42, above) to the States-General, particularly in those dated 31 January and 8 December 1765 (SG 6968), he explains the complicated affair. In 1760 Giovanni Xeno, a limmi (‘onderdaan van de Grooten Heer') and native of Patmos, was commissioned by the Dey - it had twice happened before - to deliver a load of planks; he in turn approached a Dutch agent in Leghorn (Livorno) named Pieter Charron who had the timber loaded in Fiume (present-day Rijeka) onto the Dutch ship de Vriese Boer under Captain Frederik Johannes, who sailed to Cartagena via Cagliari. Peter Cruse, a local English merchant had been instructed to receive the planks in Algiers. During an audience at which Captain Braak (cf. under 48, above) was present, Xeno was summoned to appear before the Dey and, showing the Dey various papers, demanded that the States-General pay for the lost cargo, but, being a private matter, the case was eventually referred to the Dutch courts.)

65 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1387) Cod.Or. 1387 A collection of letters The collection consists of loose sheets of paper containing original copies of letters, with transcriptions in Arabic script and one translation into Dutch. The transcriptions and the translation were drafts made by Jan Jacob Schultens (1716- 1778), curator of the Warner Legacy at the Leiden University Library and professor of Oriental languages at the same university from 1749 (Nat, ‘Studie’, pp. 66-73) and by Hendrik Arent Hamaker (1789-1835), who held the same functions from 1817 onwards (cf. Nat, ‘Studie’, pp. 129-34). There are twelve items, numbered 69 to 76; these were registered in Latin in a separate note by the curator H.E. Weyers. The letters are kept in a cardboard box covered in black and brown marbled paper. We find the following items: (69) An original copy of a letter from ‘AIT, mir-i miran of Tripoli (Libya), to Prince [Willem V] reporting reporting the arrival of the Dutch commander L (A. de Bruyn, cf. under Cod.Or. 1386, No. 68, above) with a letter of friendship and gifts; dated Rebi'ü l-ahir 1188 (June-July 1774).

Cod.Or. 1390 Risale[-i] deste-gül fi keyfiyet halkati l-cenin ve tevlfdihi *« >II i 2 I 1 ** IJ A J S £ [*]a)I h*J An undated copy of a treatise on human biology and medicine of unknown authorship and uncertain title. The one given above occurs on the title page, f. la. Added to it is 'bi-hatt §eyh\ probably referring to the copyist, possibly the author. A shorter title, Keyfiyet tevelliid bemAdem, is found on the recto side of the first flyleaf. Wordplay with gardens and roses, referring to the title, is found in the introduction, in which the author compares his work to a rose (‘...Mr deste taze gül diizdiim'). The author mentions himself in f. 5a:7 ff. (‘turab-i bab... fakir-i hakir-i meksürü l-bal...’), without giving his name, however. No other manuscript seems to be documented. The work consists of an introductory part (la-6b) with lengthy praise, partly consisting of a kasïde, of the Mamluk Sultan al-Malik al-Ashraf Abü n-Nasr Qansüh al-Ghawrf (mentioned 4b:2, ruled 906/1501 - 922/1516), to whom the work was dedicated. The treatise is, as the title already suggests, concerned foremost with the origin of human life: how the foetus is formed and grows in the womb; how it is bom and passes through the stages of life (cf. 6a:7 - 6b:6); the very first subject is the nature of sperm (from 76b:7) and the general survey of the development of human life to, ideally, old- age 120, ends with the theory of the right balance (mtz&c) of body fluids. In the event of the disruption of this balance, finally, a number of prescriptions for redressing it are given (headed by the word ildc , from f. 24b). Bound in boards with flap covered in dirty green paper with leather backing and edges; glazed white paper with watermark; 1+32+2 folios; 273x185 mm; 91ines; without catchwords; bold vowelled nesih\ gold borders, dots and rubrics; without date and name of copyist; an oval stamp, possibly with a tugra, has been blotted out with black ink (la); an ex libris mark in gold with the legend ‘C.H’ and topped by a crown and star is found in the margin of f. lb.

75 EARLY 19TH-CENTURY ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1392, cont., 1395) Catalogue entry: CCO 2219 (IV, p. 349). Cod.Or. 1395 A miscellany A series of unbound folded sheets of papers, divided into three separate bundles, with scholarly annotations by Johannes Heyman (1667-1737), professor of Oriental languages at Leiden University from 1710 (cf. Nat, ‘Studie’, pp. 23-6; Juynboll, Beoefenaars, pp. 240-1; NNBWIX, col. 362). The first bundle, headed ‘Excerptorum vol. /’, contains texts in twocolumns in Latin, some in Dutch, on the religions, history and geography of the Middle East, followed by an index in four columns; the outer columns are reserved for indications of content and additional glosses. The second bundle, headed ‘Excerptorum vol. II’, and of the same format, contains also texts in Latin and Dutch, mostly on religion, with quotations in Arabic, Greek and Hebrew. The third bundle (‘Excerptorum vol. Ill’), of the same format, contains similar texts on religion and history, followed by a four-column index. This last part, vol. Ill, contains one text in Turkish with a Dutch translation (pp. 27-34) of the Treaty of the Pruth concluded between the Ottomans and Russians on 6 Cem&iil-ahir 1123 24 July 1711 (see plate). It is a transcript from a copy (kept in the John Rylands University Library at Manchester, MS Persian 913, f. 18) sent to Heyman from Istanbul (cf. note, p. 34b). The army of the Muscovites had been encircled by the invincible Army of Islam near the River Pruth, as the introductory passage states, and the Czar had sued for peace; this was granted under condition, to mention the most important points, that the fortress of Azak (Azov) be rendered to the Ottomans - three others were to be destroyed -; that the Czar not interfere in the affairs of the Poles, Cossacks and Giray Khans; that the Russians, although they are allowed to trade freely in the Empire, not be allowed to appoint an ambassador from among themselves; and that the Swedish king [Charles XII], who had found refuge in the Empire, be allowed free passage to his country. The text of the treaty is followed (p. 35) by a quotation in Dutch from the Amstferdamsche] Courant of 28 November 1711 with news, based on letters ‘from Wallachia and Turkey’ received in Vienna on the 14th, that the Swedish king was to spend the winter in Bender; the mufti (Seyhülislam), on request of the grand vizier, had issued a fetvd, to the effect that the king should be granted asylum for a year; if he were to remain for another

(The king fled to the Ottoman Empire after the disastrous Battle of Poltava in July 1709 at which he had been beaten by the Russian army; he left again in September 1714, after a definite peace had been concluded between the Porte and Russia; cf. Dani§mend, Kronoloji IV, pp. 3-7.) Three bundles of folded sheets of white paper; written pages numbered by Heyman as, respectively, 1-82, 1-100 and 1-86; pages measuring 205x170 mm, varying; texts in two and four columns; the manuscript was donated to the library by Mr. Dresselhuis of Utrecht, probably identical with Johannes Dresselhuis (1789-1861), a student of theology at Utrecht University and later pastor and school inspector. Catalogue entry: CCO 2457 (V, p. 121). Cod.Or. 1408 A short history of the Banu l-Barlda and the Banö Shahln The work, written in a simple paratactic Turkish, is a brief chronicle of the Band al-Barfda of Basra, tax-farmers and viziers during the ‘Abbasid Caliphate (4th/10th century), and of ‘Imran b. Shahln and his sons, masters of the marshes (al-Batlha) near Basra during the same period (cf. D. Sourdel, ‘al-Bandï’, in El 2 ; Imran b. Shahln , ibidem; Zambaur, pp. 15, 137). It is probably a fragment taken from a world history or a historical monograph translated from the Arabic. No title or author is mentioned. The fragment is preceded by a title in Latin script: Barinida; the heading ‘Schahinida' follows on the sixth folio (recto, see plate). It was copied by Hendrik Arent Hamaker (1789-1835), curator of the Warner Legacy at Leiden University and professor of Oriental languages at the same university from 1817 (cf. Nat, ‘Studie’, pp. 129-34). (The manuscript contains a letter by Nanette M. Pyne to Jan Just Witkam, curator of the Oriental Department of the University Library, received 8 December 1983, in which she speculates on the identity of the work; Pyne agreed that the fragment was not a translation of Miskawayh’s Tarajib al-umam, but could well be an excerpt based on a work by Thabit b. Sinan.)

80 2. The Testa collection, part I In 1837 and 1839 the University Library was enriched by 82 manuscripts, respectively Codices Or. 1435-54, 1503 and 1508-69, purchased from a ‘nobleman’ called Testa; the first part, described in this chapter, reached Leiden from Aleppo (CCO I, p. xvii). Who this man was is something of an enigma. The purchase is not, as far as I can see, documented anywhere in the the library’s archive, and Testa’s initials are mentioned nowhere, CCO being our only source in this matter. It has been supposed that he was Gaspard Testa (1770-1847), dragoman at the Dutch embassy at Istanbul and later, from 1808, Dutch chargé d’affaires at the Porte. In 1846, he had the title of baron, hereditary in the first line, conferred on him in compensation for being discharged from his post because of old age; the letters-patent, however, did not reach him before his death on 16 April 1847. As is clear from the embassy correspondence preserved in the General State Archives at The Hague, Gaspard did not leave his post in Istanbul during the 1830s. Gaspard Testa had nine sons and it seems more likely that one of them collected the manuscripts. Among them was Dominique (1811-60) Jeune de langue, who was in Syria in the crucial year 1837, practising his Oriental languages and ‘employé déja dans plusd’une mission auprès les turcs’. His father asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Zuylen van Nijevelt, to appoint him first dragoman in Istanbul upon the death of Bartolomeo Gallitzi (ARA LT 309, letter of 19 September 1837). Another son, Paul (1808-70), was a merchant established in Galata as partner of the firm Gebroeders Testa & Cie.; the firm curiously went bankrupt after three years, again in 1837 (cf. ARA LT 333, containing, among other things, an inventory of his warehouse). He may have acquired the manuscripts through correspondents in Syria. Another son, Auguste (1817-51), was residing in the house of the Dutch consul, Daniel de Piciotto, in Aleppo in 1842 (ARA LT 267, letter from G. Testa to Picciotto of 28 October 1842). What he did for a living is not known. A fourth son, Émile (A.F.E) Testa (1813-79), may also have been the collector. He was interested in Islamic law and obtained his doctorate at Leiden University in 1843 when he defended his thesis entitled De conjugiis moslimico. It was dedicated to his father and to Hendrik Engelinus Weijers, professor of Oriental languages at the university and curator of the Oriental manuscripts at the library. He was later consul in Tunis and Tripoli (Libya). Less likely, but not impossibly, the Testa in question may also have been a member of a completely different branch of the family. The first Testas, of Genovese origin, were already established in Galata in the early 15th century and the wide-spread family tree consisted of many branches, noble and common. The epithet ‘nobleman’ should perhaps not be taken literally: Gaspard Testa was addressed as ‘Chevalier’ in the diplomatic letters long before 1847. Among the Turkish manuscripts, thus acquired, we find an unusual number of,
81 wholly or partly, unique and rare items. Among the first we should mention Codices Or. 1451, 1548, 1550, 1551, 1552(1), 1553, 1555, 1557(1,3), 1559(2,4,6), 1560 and 1563; among the second category belong Codices Or 1448, 1449, 1556(2), 1557(2), 1561 and 1566.

82 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1435) Cod.Or. 1435 Lugat Ahterï Kebtr ij An undated, but probably early-17th century, copy of a widely diffused Arabic- Turkish dictionary by Mustafa b. §emsüddm (el-)Karahisari, who wrote under the pen-name of (el-)Abterf (d. 968/1560-1). The legend ‘hatf l-kitab Ahter? is found on the ‘title page’ (la). The work begins with a short introduction in Arabic (lb), on which the author mentions himself (lb:4-5). The dictionary is alphabetically ordered and divided into paragraphs (fast) arranged according to the subsequent first two letters (elif, elifba, elifta, and so on.) of the words in which they occur. A few interlinear glosses in Turkish occur on f. la. Some marginal corrections and additions. (For another copy of this work, see Cod.Or. 461.) An anonymous owner’s inscriptions in sülüs occur in ff. 260a-b (cf. below) declaring that he was appointed to an elevated post [in a medrese] where he was to ‘read lessons in Bubarï’ [probably meant is al-Bukhari’s Sahih, the famous collection of traditions, or one of the many commentaries written on it, cf. J. Robson in Ef] thanks to his patron, Yahya Efendi, while his parents were still alive (dated 29 RebC'u l-evvel 1029/ 4 March 1620, 260a); the second note marks a completion of something unexplained (‘anlari’), possibly the manuscript itself (dated a Friday in Cemdii l-ahir 1029/ May 1620). A small piece of paper, approximately 140x80 mm, with an Arabic text is found between f. 247 and f. 248. Rebound in boards with with flap, leather backing and edges (the binding was probably done in 1849: a piece of newspaper with this date is bound between f. 89 and f. 90; one quire is bound upside-down, ff. 160a-169b); glazed white paper without watermarks; (l)+260+(l) folios; 307x190 mm and 220x125 mm, varying; 27 lines; catchwords; small nesih; headings and rubrics in red; red lines over Arabic entries; without a date and the name of a copyist.

THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1448. cont.) l-akbar found in the Leiden manuscript Cod.Or. 288, f. 6a (see Schmidt, ‘Preface’, p. 83). The work is a history and an eschatology, and consists of a brief introduction (2b-4a); a description of the Creation, the lives of the prophets and Muhammad (4a-39b); a history of the Ottomans and their conquests until the campaign against Vienna Cgaza-yi Beg', heading on f. 118b) in 1529 (39b-126b); the conquest of Rome by ‘Spain’ (the Habsburg troops in 1527, resulting in the disastrous sacco di Roma, 126b-128b); the future appearance of the Mahdr and the Apocalypse (128b-132b); a chronological survey (132b-134b); and a conclusion (134b-135a). Detailed descriptions of the content are found in Flemming’s articles (cf. below). A few marginal additions. The work is preceded by various annotations by owners: a sentence of two lines (la); two prescriptions for medicine (ma'cün) useful for curing various ailments like toothache and baldness, and another one for curing [an excess of] phlegm (balgam); these are followed on the same page by two almost illegible notes in a different script (lb).

86 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1448. cont.) (2) ff. 136b-146b §emsfye 1 An early-I7th century copy of a final part of a long poem in mesnevi rhyme by Yazici Salahuddln of Gallipoli (flourished early I5th century). The work is also known as Melheme. It was completed on 14 Ceman l-evvel 826 (25 April 1423, cf. l46b:2-3, quoted below), comprises 4788 distichs (146:12) and was dedicated to the Vizier iskender Celebi (cf. the riddle verse I46a:7, written in red). The title and the name of author are not found in our fragment, but Barbara Flemming who had seen another copy of the work preserved in Berlin, identified it as part of the aforementioned work (see her article of 1986, mentioned under (l), p. 5In). The work as a whole is an almanac, which, among other things, presents prognostications drawn from metereological phenomena observed in the respective months of the solar year. Our copy contains the I9th chapter (I36b-I4la) which discusses the mythological lore and omens associated with the respective days of the week (extensively described and partly translated in GOD I, pp. 86-89) and the 20th chapter on marriage and the best days on which to contract one and have sexual intercourse (and be blessed with the best male offspring as a result, I4la- I46a); it is followed by a short conclusion (I46a-b, not mentioned in GOD - the distich in which most copies seem to end, is not found in our copy). (Other copies of the same work are described under Codices Or. 14.673 and 17.103.) Bold illiterate jottings occur on ff. I50b-I5la (cf. also the margin of f. 6b).

Cod.Or. 1449 §erh-i Tuhfe-i §ahidi An undated, anonymous, untitled commentary on the versified Persian-Turkish dictionary Tuhfe-i §ahidi (for copies of the original work, see under Cod.Or. 1582). Only one other copy of the work is documented, which is kept in the Topkapi Sarayi Library (cf. Karatay 2058, where the work is ascribed to Hafiz Ahmed Nadlde who wrote it in 1176 (1762-3). It consists of an introductory part (lb-7a) with a preface in which the author explains that one day, when he was having a conversation with Ebübekir Aga, the son of a chief accountant named Ahmed Efendi of Kesriye (modem Kastoria, Greece), on the Persian language, the latter said to him that the ‘poem of §ahidl (manzUme-i §ahidi)’, "that sweet boy (§ahid-i §inri) , needed clarification at some points and he suggested that it would also be a good thing if he could give the Arabic equivalents of the Persian words occurring in it. The author accepted the challenge and offered the work to the agha during "a banquet of excellent arrangement” (cf. the quotation below). (Ahmed Efendi, later Pa§a, the son of a ‘notable’ (a'yan) of Kesriye, was a tax collector and accountant (ruznameci) in various places of the Ottoman Empire; he ended his career as governor of Mara§ and died in 1162/1748; one of his sons was Ebübekir Bey, cf. SO 2 1, p. 199). The author’s preface is followed (2b-7a) by a brief introduction to prosody, in particular the technicalities of the various
88 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1449, cont.) metres. The main work consists of a verse-by-verse commentary, sometimes of considerable length, on the lexical and prosodical elements found in the poem. A table (see plate) showing the numerical value of the letters of the alphabet (‘hisab- i ebced’) is found on f. 175a, preceding the relevant hemistich ‘(tin hisab-i ebcedi bildiin tamdm' of the original work (cf. Cod.Or. 148, f. 27b:6). The commentary fails for the last two distichs which are quoted on f. 175b. This probably means that the copy is incomplete or that perhaps the work was never finished. A few marginal additions and glosses in various hands, referring to, among other works, the dictionary of el-Abten (cf. under Cod.Or. 1435, above). (For another copy of the work, see Cod.Or. 18.155.)

89 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1451) Cod. Or. 1451 A collection of letters The anonymous and undated copy contains a series of, mostly, model letters of various types, often only their formal parts, for the most part honorific titles. A few letters are followed by, small, mostly indeciferable, signatures, probably of clerks, among them Seyyid Mehmed and Seyyid Hasan. From the contents it seems safe to assume that the author/collector was an officer or a clerk in the service of an officer who served in the Morea (Peloponnese) and the Aegean archipelago during the second half of the 18th century; the latest date occurring in the letters is 1191/1777 (7a, 90b, 94a). The letters are addressed to, subsequently, Sultans (5b-6b, 7b-10b - the date of 15 Receb 1172/14 March 1759 occurs in ff. 9a-31b); Khans of the Crimea (17b-18a, 18a-19a, 76b); Sharffs of Mecca (20b-21b); grand viziers (10b, 20a, 31b-32b); viziers (15a, 28a, 38a-b); unspecified superiors (15b, 29b, 36a, 41a [from a ni$anci], 55b-66a); a vali of Egypt (24b-25a); a kapu kethiidasi of the Morea (25a-b); a defterdar (25b-26a); a grand vizier’s kethüda (26a-b); a reïsülküttab (26b-27a); a vali of Baghdad (39b-40a); another provincial (‘foyra’) vö/f(40b-41a); shaykhs (48a-49b, 50a-51a); mothers (52a-53a; see also below); fathers (53b-54b); a patron (56b); $eyhülislams (66a, 67a-b); kazi'askers (66b, 72b); ‘ulema (68a-69b); a muhzir (summoning officer, 70a-b); to efendis (71b-72b, 73a-75a); and to an equal (72b). Historically more concrete - although many of these letters do not contain much factual information - are the following: a ferman establishing the fees of 30,000 akge to be paid to the officers of the silihdar ocagi (dated 1191/1777, 7a); a petition from Yahya Aga, tax farmer (mültezim) of Farlk (kaza of Babadagi), concerning a debt of 400 kuru§ claimed from the estate of a local ze'amet-holder (7a-b); a petition to Ahmed Pa§a, muhafiz of Agnboz (Khalkis), concerning an appointment in Moton (Methoni, 16a-b); a letter from the ferrd§ at Medina, Seyyid ‘Ömer (21b-22a); a letter from the ferra$ at Mecca, isma‘11 b.

91 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1451, cont.) from Nüri Beg to the Sultan (34a-b); a letter from Emin Efendi, head of the divan of Egypt, to a grand vizier (34b-35a); a letter of reprimand from Ragib Pa§a (35b- 36a); a letter from Mehmed Ragib when he was muhassil of Aydin (37a-b); a letter from ‘All Pa$a of Izmir (37b-38a); a letter on the financial situation of Baghdad (38b-39b); a letter from NOrl Beg to the kaziof Salonica (40a-b); a letter from the silihdar agasi ‘Abdï Aga to a vali of Aydin (42a-b); a letter to Ragib Pa§a concerning the followers of el-Hacc Ahmed Efendi (42b-43a); a letter from clerks at the finance department (maliye hulefasi) to the surre emini el-Hacc Ahmed Efendi (51a-52a); a letter of consolation from a friend to a dismissed tersane emini living at Midillii (Lesbos, 55a-b); a letter from the kazi of Moton to a Janissary agha (69b-70a); a letter from the the silihdar agasi ‘Abdï Aga to the kail of Edime (70b-71a); and an anonymous - the letter is signed by ‘es-seyyid e$-§eyb fulün' - petition to Shaykh ‘Abdulkadir Gïlanï (75a-76a). This part of the collection also contains a series of preambles taken from letters by ‘the late’ Nabï (43b-48a), a gazel (49a) and a list of the provinces of Persia (‘Acem vilayetleri, 50a). The letters addressed to mothers and fathers (cf. above), may well have been written or have been commissioned to be written by the author/collector of the volume; in one letter addressed to his mother, a (the) writer declares that he belonged to the retinue of Hasan Aga, treasurer (haztnedaf) of ‘All Pa$a, vali of Salonica, and had been appointed fortress commander (muhafiz) of Kördüs (Corinth) (53a). ‘All Pa§a (d. 1191/1777) was appointed at Salonica in 1182/1768 with the rank of vizier, and served later, from 1185/1771-2, at various other provinces in the area, among them the Peloponnese (SO 2 I, p. 275). (Ragib Mehmed Pa§a (d. 1176/1763) followed a career as secretary, accountant - he was tax collector of Aydin between 1161/1748 and 1163/1750 - and statesman; eventually he was appointed grand vizier (1170/1757); he was also a poet and wrote a number of prose works, among them a collection of letters (Mün§e'at), cf. SO 2 IV, pp. 1340-1. Yüsuf Nabï, Ottoman poet, d. 1124/1712, also wrote a number of prose works, among them a collection of letters, also named ‘Mün§e’at, cf. E.G. Ambros in Ef. ‘Abdï Aga may be identical with the silihdar agasi in function in 1167-1170 (1753/4-1757) and 1175 (1761), mentioned in SO 2 1, p. 48; he was nicknamed ‘Dubanï’, being the tobacco keeper of Grand Vizier Hasan Pa§a, and died in 1178/1764.) A distinct second part commences on f. 76a with a series of honorific titles (elkab) for letters sent to rulers and functionaries, from Sharïfs down to clerks (erbab-i kalem, 76a-81b). These are followed by a letter announcing the succession (ciilus berati) of 1187/1774 [when Sultan ‘ Abdulhamïd I acceded to the
92 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1451, cont.) throne] (81b-82a); a passport (yol emri) for the transport of tax money (min hazine) from Istanbul to the Morea (82a-b); a letter announcing the succession of the ‘late’ Sultan ‘Osman [III, in 1168/1754] sent to Mecca (82b-83b); a ferman addressed to the kazioi Bozcaada regarding the dispatch of ammunition to ‘Abdi Aga, substitute commander of the local Janissaries (yenigeri aga vekfli) (83b-84b); a buyrulti regarding the payment of sheep tax to the kassab ba$i Hasan Aga (84b- 85a); letters to friends (85a-88b; short notes (tezkires) addressed to various persons, among them a kilergibasi (88b-90b; 93b-94a - dated 1 Muharrem 1191/9 February 1777, concerning the payment of excise duty on six cartloads of tobacco excise at Tekfurdagi [modem Tekirdag]); and bills and title deeds (temessiik) issued under various circumstances (91a-93b), some of which are dated 1164/1750-1 (92b), 1168/1754-5 (91a, 91b, 92a), 1180/1766-7 (92b, 93b) and 1189/1775-6 (93a); an ïtakname concerning the manumission of a slave of Georgian origin called Yüsuf (91b-92a); and letters addressed to ‘infidels’ (94a). The margins of ff. 5b-6b contain a copy of the beginning, complete with introduction, of an anonymous Arabic/Persian-Turkish dictionary (‘bu lugat Arabi Farisi Tiirki ile imtiyaz eyleyüb..’. 5b: 17, margin) with items from God down to climatological phenomena (see also plate). Additional texts are found on the flyleaves: a series of epistolary phrases (la- lb; an Arabic/Persian-Turkish glossary (beginning dehr/ zaman, verd-i ahmerl kirmizi gül etc. and ending in a list of lunar months with their abbreviations; the Turkish items and abbreviations are written in red below the Arabic/Persian words and names of the months, lb-2b); a letter from a son to his father (3a); a letter from a father to his son, dated 5 Cemaii l-ahir [l]242/4 January 1827 (3a-b); a letter from a friend to a friend, signed Seyyid Mehmed and dated [l]242/1826-7 (3b-4a); a letter addressed to ‘Ay§e tJamm, dated 9 §a‘ban [1]243/15 February 1828 (4a-b).

The author and the title of the poem are mentioned in a heading preceding the text on f. 41b and in f. 64a: 12/16. The work was written in Manisa when the author was already an old man (pir, cf. 64a: 12-14.)

95 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1452, cont., 1453) The MS is bound in embossed black leather, red tooled insets in Oriental style; glazed whitepaper; 1+64+1 folios; 201x142 mm and 150x85 mm, varying; 17 lines; catchwords; careless ta‘lik\ headings in red; (1) and (2) were both copied by es-Seyyid Mehmed ‘Arif el-Behsenevf of the Ta§ (‘Stone’) medrese; (2) was completed in [1]225 (1810). This nasab seems to refer to the small town of al- Bahnasa in Upper Egypt (cf. ‘All Cevad, Memalik-i ‘Osmamye, p. 218). Cod.Or. 1453 An almanac The almanac (ruzname), which is, according to the heading on f. 2b, attributed to the celebrated saint Shaykh Vefa (d. 896/1491-2), consists of a series of diagrams and tables with explanations. The rather tattered manuscripts gives the impression of frequent use. Thus we find a circular diagram establishing the days of the week for the feast of Nevnlz for each year (da ’ire-i nevniz-i sultani, 2b) as well as the exact time the sun passes the concomitant planetary house (biirc); in a marginal explanation an example is given for the ‘next year’ 1091 (1680); the year 1090 (1679-80) is indicated in the table. Lower on the same page is another circular diagram which indicates the directions for locating the ‘men of the occult world’ (da’ire-i ricalii l-gayb); the Ka‘ba is depicted in the centre (see plate). Next to it, a small circular diagram for establishing the beginning of kanun-i sani (January) for each year in a 19-year cycle (da’ire-i sat); the year 1090 is again indicated in the diagram; a somewhat more detailed circular diagram for the establishment of the beginning of March is found on the following page, f. 3a. It is followed lower on the page by a table for establishing the first days of each lunar month for the same year, 1090. The following pages (3b-9a) contain a perpetual calendar consisting of twelve tables for each of the (Syrian) solar months, from Ager to §ubat - Greek equivalents are also given in the headings - with entries for the months, the days of the week, and the planetary houses passed through by the sun; additional information, mostly of a historical (mythological), metereological and astrological type, is written in the margins (3b-9a). The work proper is preceded by annotations by an owner: fragments of a pious text in Arabic, taken from a work entitled Durar an-nazm and attributed to al- Yafi‘1 (la); a table indicating the numerical value of the letters of the alphabet (lb); a multiplication table (ta’rTf-i kerrat): ‘question i4 6x6, answer >1 36; question jj 7x7, answer J»*49’ etc. (lb); and a survey comparing the names of

A page from the öfvd/j of Nesïmï (d. 820/1417-8), showing a gaze/ on the qualities of the letters of the alphabet; the poem is repeated in a slightly different version in the margin - the letters are written in red at the beginning of each distich - saved from trimming by a later bookbinder.
100 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1503, cont.) gazel on the qualities of the letters of the alphabet, from ^ to uJI (yd stands for yiiz, [God’s] face; elif stands for Allah etc.), is repeated in the (here untrimmed) margin of 13a, in which the letters, mentioned at the beginning of each distich, are written in red (see plate). Additional annotations in Turkish, mostly faded and illegible, in Turkish, including a distich, are found in f. la; a distich attributed to Halim! (?) and a gazel by ‘Alim! are written in different hands on f. 159a. Notes in Armenian script occur on ff. la and 159b; a line in Latin as well as the name ‘Nasiman’ in Latin script (twice) are found on f. 159b.

102 3. A manuscript from the library of L.A. Schroder Steinmetz One Turkish manuscript in the Leiden University Library collection, Cod.Or. 1506, was bought at a public auction in Groningen in 1839 when the library of the jurist and philologist Lodewijk Adolf Schroder Steinmetz (1808-37) was sold. He had been praeceptor at both the Latin (Grammar) School and later, from 1831, at the University (Hogeschool) of Groningen. He, in turn, had inherited the manuscript fromhis grandfather, the orientalist Nicolaus Wilhelm Schroder (1721- 78), professor in Greek and Oriental Languages in Marburg (from 1744) and Groningen (from 1747). It is known that he was well versed in Turkish. His first publication in fact was, curiously, a transcription and translation into Latin of a Turkish version of the first four books of Genesis: Quatuor prima Capita Geneseos Turcice et Latine ex Gemino Pentateuchi Mosaici MSS Codice Turcico Eruit, Latine Vertit (Leipzig 1739). In the introduction (praefatio), Schroder explains that the Turkish version was made by Bobovius (see Vol. I, Cod.Or. 390); the manuscript, which contained marginal annotations by the author, had been bought in Istanbul for a small sum of money by a relative, who thereupon had brought it to Amsterdam and had given it to him. (See also Cod.Or. 1949, below.) Literature: Van der Aa XVII, pp. 508-11; Nat, Studie, pp. 74-9; NNBW III, col. 1200; IX, cols. 1005-6.
103 AN ACQUISITION OF 1839 (Or. 1506) Cod.Or. 1506 injö-i mergüb . A late 17th-century copy of an anonymous collection of models for (preambles to) letters. It begins with a model letter of congratulation from an inferior to a grand vizier (lb-2a), followed by examples of other types (letters of submission, of friendship, of mediation, petitions, invitations, love letters) exchanged between state officials of different ranks, mostly Janissary officers, but also scholars ( ulemd), shaykhs, friends and family members, and to be written on various occasions. There are only few historical references like geographical and personal names, but no dates, but these are found, as is often the case in such collections, in a series of promissory notes (deyn temessiiki, deyn tegkiresi, 50b-52b) which contain concrete historical facts although here, too, some names have been replaced by the impersonal 'fulan'. Some of these contain the name of a creditor, a Janissary colonel: gorbaci of the fourteenth regiment at Istanbul (50b) - this regiment is again mentioned in f. 51b - later yenigeri kethiidasi (51b), called Mehmed Aga, who, if indeed he were the same man, may have been the author/compiler of the work. (The name also occurs in some of the letters.) The notes are all dated; we find late Zi 1-ka‘de 1058 (7-16 December 1648, 51a); Receb 1071 (March-April 1661, 51a); Ramazan 1075 (March-April 1665, 51b); early $a ‘ban 1052 (25 October - 2 November 1642, 52a); Receb 1075 (January- February 1665, 52b); late Receb 1075 (7-16 February 1665, ibidem). A few marginal additions. Rough notes (the letters of the alphabet, a part of a phrase) and lines occur on f. 87b and on the inner boards. Bound in brown leather; glazed white paper; 87 folios with original numbers; 199x127 mm and 145x75 mm, varying; 17 lines; catchwords; ta'lik with dTvani elements; headings and dots in red; completed, at least the last page (cf. above), on the morning of Saturday 14 Rebi'ü l-ahir 1075 (4 November 1664); without the name of a copyist.

105 4. The Testa collection, part II The manuscripts described here were purchased by the University Library in 1839 (see for further details the introduction to Chapter 2, above). Cod.Or. 1547 A commentary with prayer prescriptions and verses in Turkish The manuscript contains an undated copy of a prayer in Arabic entitled Hizb al- bahr by Abu al-Hasan b. ‘Abd Allah ash-Shadhilr (d. 656/1258), cf. GAL I, p. 449; CCO 2191 (IV, p. 339); Voorhoeve p. 117. The outer margins of ff. 2b-6a contain commentaries in Arabic and Turkish in tiny script. The Turkish text begins on f. 4a, left margin, with the words ‘her namaz vaktinda...’; it explains the usefulness of the prayer of Shadhill and gives prescriptions for its use. Owner’s inscriptions of es-Seyyid Mehmed Re§Id of Agnboz (Euboia, Khalkis), dated 18 Rebi'ü s-sani 1251, of Mehmed ‘Ata’ullah el-Eyyiibt, and of es-Seyyid Ahmed el-Moravf (?), with two seals, are found on ff. lb and 2a. Various Turkish verses are found on ff. 39a and 40a-b. Cod.Or. 1548 Additional Turkish texts The manuscript contains a copy of an anonymous Arabic work of jurisprudence entitled, according to a heading on f. lb, Majmü' masa'il. (The work is briefly referred to as 'Majmü'a' elsewhere.) It was copied, according to the colophon (190a), in 1104 (1692-3) during the reign of el-Hacc Selim [I] Giray Khan (ruler of the Crimea, 1104/1692-1110/1699). The margins around the text contain a prodigious number of additions, mostly fatwas. The work is preceded by two quires of five sheets each (20 unnumbered folios) crammed full with annotations in Arabic and Turkish in, mostly, small spidery scripts, stained and illegible in many places. This is also the case with the pages following the main text, another 27 unnumbered folios. More notes are found on the inner boards. The rather tattered volume gives the impression of having been much used and may have served as a reference work and notebook for one or more Crimean kazfs or scholars. Noteworthy are the following Turkish texts, written, mostly, in various ?ikeste hands in the parts preceding and following the main work:
106 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1548, cont.) f. 3a*. A note on an auspicious event (lyxyr, not specified) which took place on 27 Rebi'ü l-ewel 1111 (22 September 1699) during the reign of Devlet Giray Khan (ruled 1110/1699-1114/1702); three lines. f. 5b‘.

The text is written in lapidary, colloquial Turkish which is written in a idiosyncratic (phonetic) and inconsistent spelling; we read for example (for r jij), (for ui-jb), ‘cüjji’ (for ‘ö*’ (for jU) and ‘j-ab’ (for j_ ■■it The text is adorned with interlinear coloured drawings of a pleasantly primitive type. The work commences with a lengthy introduction, particularly on the names ot God the Creator (lb-4a); it is followed by a brief preface which presents more or less the same information as that given on the title page (4b). The history proper begins in f. 4b: 13. There the author relates that he, at eight years of age, left home ('bin ikiyiiz on alti senesi sinnim sekiz ya§inda iken diyar-i kurbete [gurbete] pikdim’) and set out for Erzurum (‘fjAs-kjl’) apparently in the company of his father (cf. 43b ff.) who was bayrakdar (standard-bearer) in the service of Tokatli Deli Ahmed who was delibasi (leader of irregular cavalry) of Diramali Mahmüd Pa§a (cf. 34a, 37b, 41a). Like his father, he served as an irregular horseman (deli- see on this 18th- and early 19th-century phenomenon Gibb-Bowen I, p. 193) with a monthly salary of 35 kurus (15b, 19b), which was not always paid (but was supplemented by occasional bonuses, 'bahsis'), and he was indeed member of the same unit ("... I had the intention of going for the infidels. My father brought out his flag and I found myself next to my father under the flag", 43b). Among his closest comrades-in-arms are mentioned ince ‘Arab and Deli Mustafa (cf. 42a- 43a). , t , The first part of the history (4b-25a) - the work does not show any formal divisions - then, relates a number of campaigns on the north-eastern borders of the Ottoman Empire undertaken from Erzurum under the commanders (ser'asker) Baba Pa§a and Hafiz ‘All Pa§a. Baba Pa§a is probably identical with Pehlivan Ibrahim Pa§a, better known as commander of the Dobruja front during the Ottoman-Russian wars of this period (cf. Dani§mend, Kronoloji IV, p. 84 passim) He was governor of Sivas and Erzurum between 1228/1813 and 1231/1816, and died in 1236/1820-1 (cf. SO 2 IV, p. 1331). He was dismissed after complaints had reached the Sultan about the wholesale rape of girls and the killing of men in Ardahan (lib). Hafiz ‘All Pa§a was governor of Cildir (from 1233/1818), later of Erzurum and Kars (1234/1818-9 - 1235/1820-1, cf. SCr , p. 287). . _ The first sortie in which the writer participated was that under Yegan Pa§a against the rebellious Ham$i ogli Selim Pa§a (? ^L. u'" ™h° held the fortress of Akisklye (4-i—ï I, Ahiska, Akhaltsikhe in Georgia, 7a).

116 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1551, cont.) Erzurum (8b). The author moved back to Erzurum and later visited Kayseri where he witnessed a solar eclipse (13a). Soon more campaigns followed, against Van (from 13b), where the cavalry regiment of the author was defeated by a Kurdish force and barely escaped being massacred (17b-18a), and to Kars (from 18b), where skirmishes broke out with Russian border troops (20a-b) and the Kurdish supporters of the Persian governor Hasan Khan of Revan (Yerevan, 22a). Not long afterwards, war was declared against the Shah by the Sultan (24a, tins happened in October 1820). Vasfï Efendi moved to Sivas with his unit and, after it became known that a campaign was being prepared against the rebellious Tepedelenli ‘All Pa§a, one of the great ‘notables’ of that time who had built up a semi-independent state in Epirus and Thessaly (d. 1237/1822, cf. H. Bowen in El 1 ), the author moved to Ankara (where they joined Kassabba$i Hasan Pa§a), Izmit (where the author lodged for a couple of days in a coffeehouse, cf. 27a) and Istanbul (25a-28b; see plate). . . The second part of the history describes the Rumelian campaign in which the author participated (from f. 28b). The army moved by way of Tekirdagi (Tekirdag) Edime, to Filibe (Plovdiv), Üsküf (Uskiib, Skopje) to Yanya (Ioannina), the residence of Tepedelenli ‘All Pa§a, who after a lengthy siege of his citadel was, according to the author, lured to the tent of the commander Hur§Id [Ahmed] Pa§a (d. 5 Rebïü l-evvel 1238/ 20 November 1822 cf. SCr II, p. 679), wherepon his head was cut off and sent to the Sultan (33b-34a, but cf. Bowen’s article). Meanwhile a serious rebellion had broken out in the Peloponnese - 1821 was the first year of the War of Greek Independence - and Hursld Pa§a was appointed ‘Mora ser‘askeri’ (in §ewdl 1237/June-July 1822). The author joined the troops under Diramali Mahmud Pa$a and moved from Yanya by way of Yeni§ehir (Larisa), izdin (Lamia) and Badracik (Ipati), in the surroundings of which a number of villages were subjugated and plundered, women and girls abducted, and heads cut off. The author did not come through these fights unscathed: he suffered from frostbite after snow had fallen for fifteen days on end. Two thousand soldiers died, but the author was saved because he had the protection of a tent. "When we came to izdin, I went to a bathhouse and slowly rubbed my feet with pigfat; they recovered, thank God." (39b). Once he was hit in his leg by a bullet and his head was nearly cut off by a big, black faced infidel” (44a). From izdin - the army now consisted of 36,000 foot soldiers and 19,000 horsemen (51b) - the men moved to Levatiye (Lebadia) and by way of a pass through the mountains (the ‘Mora derbendi’, at present Dervenakia), to Kördüs (Corinth), fighting ‘infidel’ rebels all the way down. Vasfï Efendi and his father, who had been seriously wounded in the fighting through the pass (see

118 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1551, cont.) plate), decided not to follow the army to the Peloponnese but instead sailed to Agnb'oz (Evvia, Euboia) where he joined the troops of Cirkaci (Carbaci) ‘All Pa§a (62a), valt of the island between 1236/1820-1 and 1237/1821-2 (cf. SO 2 1, p 282), later replaced by ‘Ömer Pa§a (84b). Father and son stayed on the island for four years (cf. 63b), Vasfi Efendi either spent his time fighting infidels, or, on the other hand, suffering from long sieges. His father most of the time remained behind in the care of a female slave (cariye) in a house (konak) at Agnboz (Chalkis) which had belonged to an infidel but had been confiscated by the pasha’s deliba^i, Yörük Müsa, whose standard-bearer was an acquaintance of his father (62b-63a). The following fifty-odd folios are filled with the ‘stories’ (cf. 64a) of these years and the book breaks off abruptly in the middle of a description of a battle between a Janissary regiment, recently sent from Rumelia for reinforcement and provisioning, and Greek rebels in the mountains near Kumiye (Kymi). Soon after their arrival, the Janissaries turned out to be troublesome competitors, about which ‘will be explained more below’ (‘anima biz bilmiyoruz ki sonra bu yenigeri ‘askeri bizim ba^imiza neler getürür ve bunlanfi bizim bayimiza getiirdigi ayagida beyan u gikr olunur 111b). Whereas the first part of the work is clearly written in the tradition of the chronicle or, for the descriptions of journeys, of the pilgrimage manuals with their dry enumeration of facts such as distances in hours, the second part is increasingly autobiographical: the author and his exploits (mostly sieges, sword fights, plundering of villages and so on, described now in great detail) are central and personal references, including the insertion of dialogues in which the author took part, abound. Although the style of the itineraries is less attractive from a literary point of view, they are rich in information on place names and geographical data with mention and description of rivers, lakes and mountains; often the author also gives details on the religion (Muslim or infidel) or ethnic character (Kurdish, Albanian, ‘kizilba$’) of a village or town, the number of its houses and of the soldiers in the local garrison; the presence of churches, (ruined) citadels or ferns (many of these schematically depicted in the interlinear drawings mentioned before, see plate); the presence of ‘beauties’; the presence or lack of good pasture and orchards; local products and, sometimes, histoncal/mythological anecdotes. When, for instance, the author mentions the Agndagi (Mount Ararat), he writes that Noah’s ark touched ground on its summit during the Deluge and Noah exclaimed: "We have come to grief (agn)" (23b). Sometimes the author comments on the language spoken by local inhabitants; of the villages along a lake called Sangöl (Krestone) near Manastir (Bitola), he writes that they are inhabited by Albanians who do not speak Turkish, are hostile and do not receive guests

120 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1551, cont.) (32b); a man in a village in Euboia is said to speak Greek (Rümca) - and after the author has been informed that a group of women who do not speak Turkish and are on the point of being abducted are in fact Muslims whose husbands were killed by infidels, he saves them from capture and a possible worse fate (81b). Perhaps the most dramatic passage of the book is that in which the author discovers that his father had been seriously wounded in the battle at the Mora Pass (see plate). I will give a translation of it, as unembellished as possible, to give an idea of Vasfï Efendi’s style at its best. The author writes that he was encamped in the plain of Corinth, and continues (58b-59b): "My father had been wounded in the Mora Pass... I had not heard about this [but] after three days in the plain of Kördüs, I found my father, I looked at him. He had been injured in seven places. Before this, when we had launched an attack against the Mora Pass, my father had, before all other flags, planted his flag at the entry to the pass and while he was reading the Muhammedan call to prayer, the infidels [had fired] a bullet into his breast, had hit [with] many swords on his head and had injured [him] in seven places, but at the same time my father again had cut [down] one infidel and had fallen into the infidels’ trenches, where he had lost consciousness and remained with the infidels. The infidels had dealt many blows with [their] swords and fired many shots but had not cut off a single head [but] had stayed [on]. At that moment, other flags and soldiers had arrived and had taken the pass. At that time, delibcuji Deli Ahmed had arrived and had found my father. He had looked [and seen] that my father had been injured in five places and had been robbed of his things, weapons and everything he had. The mentioned deliba$i had hoisted my father onto a horse and had come to the plain of Kördüs. Three days later I went and found my father under a mulberry tree. My father was naked \sic but cf. below], wounded, giddy and out of his mind. When I saw him in this state at the edge of a stream under a mulberry tree, I went out of my mind and lost control I left my horse behind and came to my father’s side. For three days, my father had been injured and bleeding and all his clothes were stuck to his body with blood. In this state I saw my father; in his head no head had remained, nor a body in his body. In this state I saw my father and I wailed and burst into tears. After a while, my father came to his senses and said: "Mustafa, my son, where are we? What kind of place is this? Have we come through the Mora Pass? Son, why do you cry? Praise to God, we have come through the Mora Pass, we have come here and found safety. Why do you cry? I am well", and saying this he comforted me a little. He lost his senses again, lost consciousness and lay down. I somehow tried to get off his clothes but could not and cut away all clothes that were on him and had other clothes brought." When Mahmud Pa§a was told what
121 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1551, cont.) had happened, he gave the wounded hero a horse, a great-coat (kabud) and 500 gold coins (Mahmüdïye altuni). Later, when he deteriorated, the Pasha took care dial the private (Austrian) physician of Morali ‘All Pa§a, present in the camp, was fetched. Having looked at the wounds (60a), the physician deemed them not’very serious, apart from a head injury. When, after a knock on his head, blood were to pour from his ears the next day, he would live and recover. The test was done and no blood appeared.

No other copy of this work seems to have survived. The translation is a fairly close rendering of the original but the translator allowed himself more freedom in the translation of the poems (cf. Bodrogligeti’s study, K>. 11, 12; Eckman II, p. 298). A preface by the translator, in which he declares the motives for his undertaking and sings the praises of the dedicatee, is inserted into the introduction (5b-7b, the first part of it has been translated by Eckmann p. 298). The book ends with two mesnevfs by the translator (178a-b), containing die date of completion and a short prayer, in which the author asks God for forgiveness. A few marginal corrections and additions. The work is followed by a collection of poems (179b-186a): gazels by Mevla Kazi Muhsin (179a), Mevlana ishak (179b), Mevlana ‘ivad Mevlevf (180a) Abmed Uöca es-Sarayï (180b), öörezmf (181a-b), ‘Abdulmecfd (182b), Togli Hoca (183a-b), Hasanogli (Pur-i Hasan, of Azarbeijan, 183b-184a)- these are followed by nazires by Seyf-i Saray! (179a-b, 179b-180a, 180a-b, 180b-181a, 81b-182b, 183a, 183b, 184a-b). Independent compositions by Seyf-i Saray!: five gazels (the last of which has been translated by Eckmann, p. 299), a beyt and a mba i, follow (184b-186a), as well as, in a different hand, three Persian ruba'is and a gazel by Hacemf (cf. Eckmann II, 298-9; Bodrogligeti’s study, p. 17). Two series of folk songs are found in the margins of f. 185b (transcribed and translated in Bodrogligeti’s study, pp. 17-9). The page preceding the title page (la) contains various annotations, mostly poetic fragments in Turkish and Persian, among these two quatrains on Sultan Ahmed a ruler of Iraq who fled to Egypt in 1393, by Mahmud el-Gulistan! and Seyf es-Sarayi; a kit‘a, partly illegible, addressed to Seyf-i Saray! and in which he is compared to the classical Persian poets Zahïr ad-Dïn Faryabï and Firdawsr a beyt from Sa‘d!’s Bustan, with a translation by Seyf-i Saray!; another three Persian distichs, one again taken from Sa’dï’s Büstan; and an anonymous Turkish fragment (transcribed and translated in Bodrogligeti’s study, pp. 10-1; cf. Uzluk’s edition p. xi). The final page (186b) contains various prose fragments in parncular a note on the enthronement of the Golden Horde rulers, Celalüddïn Khan [in 815/1412], Hacc! Giray [c.831/1426], and Mengli Giray Khan

GAL S II p 323). The title and author are mentioned in a heading preceding the text on f’ lb and in ff. 2b:6,9 and 267a:8,13-4; the title of the original work is mentioned in ff. 2b:7 and 267a: 14. The work consists of an introduction, including a preface (lb-4b), and five chapters (bab) treating cosmography, the history of the prophets, the angels, religious ethics, the apocalypse, hell and paradise; these are followed by an epilogue (hdtimetü l-kitab, 266b), including a part of which the contents greatly resemble the preface, and a dating (tarih-i kitab) of the work, in which the author states (267b:8) that the book was completed in Gallipoli on 1 Muharrem 855 (3 February 1451). A few marginal additions in various hands, partly lost by trimming and by strips of paper pasted on the original pages. Lengthier additions in Turkish and Arabic are found on a slip of paper bound between f. 235 and f. 236. The text is illustrated by two diagrams on f. 201a (depicting the fourteen ‘gates of sin through which the Devil can enter one’s heart, see plate) and on f. 220b (representing Muhammad’s liwa ’ al-hamd (banner of praise) which will be raised at the end of time; it consists of three parts pointing east, west and in the direction of the sky, each with its own legend).

Littmann in El 2 ), by Seyyid Mehmed el-Veffak an-Nak§bendl el-Üsküdari. No other copies of the work seem to have survived The name of the author, about whom nothing is known except from what is mentioned here, occurs in the heading preceding the text (see plate) and in the preface (3a:3-4), where he elucidates in great detail the circumstances of the book’s composition. The author explains that he travelled from‘Rum to Egypt in 1021 (1612-3). There he was made welcome by a halife of the saint, Hüseyn Efendi, and stayed in his zaviye. During a conversation Hüseyn Efendi suggested that he write about the saint’s life (mendkib) in Turkish. The author hesitated, however, but three years later he had a dream in which he met the saint at the Last Judgement, and the latter, after Hüseyn Efendi had explained the delay, guaranteed before God that the author, highly embarrassed, would do his best and write his life. The next day, he contacted Receb Efendi, one of Huseyn Efendi’s halifes, and consulted him on sources. The author then ^ad extensive y and translated the best parts of works by Shaykh Shinnawi [d. 1029/16 ], Shaykh Shafrawi [d. 973/1565], Ibn Suyütï and Ibn Hajar (5a; cf.

Thereupon, the author went to Syria (§am) and completed it under the benevolent protection of the governor, the former silihdar Mehmed Pa§a. (Elsewhere, in the heading (lb) and the author’s colophon (219a:8), the titles Futühat evliyd Allah and Futühat li- mii ’ellefat hazret Seyyid Ahmed el-Bedevi are mentioned.) The work consists of an introduction, including the preface from which I have quoted (lb-7a), and a great many chapters (numbered up to thirteen, in f. 78b) in which not only aspects of the life of the saint, but also the careers of his followers up to the early 17th century are described. The work lacks a clear structure and contains a great many digressions into subjects only loosely related to the main theme. In many places the prose text is punctuated by Arabic, Persian and Turkish verses, some of them explicitly ascribed to the author. An additional poem (three beyts) is found in the margin of f. lb. A list of nine saints, including Ahmad Badawf, and a line from hadith in Arabic are found on f. la.

Only a few copies seem to have survived. The author is mentioned in a heading, not by the copyist, which precedes the text in f. 10b. The title is not found here, but it is known from other sources (cf. Götz II, p. 65; Kashf az-Zunün VI, p. 583, gives the title as Risa ^-i ‘aka ’id and declares that Hamza Efendi was a mufti of Darende who flourished during the reign of Sultan Ahmed III, ruled 1115/1703 - 1143/1730). The work consists of an introduction, aprologue (mukaddime, 12a), three chapters (bab) and a conclusion (hatime, 45b). In the preface (10b-12a), the author explains that in Turkish there ^re treatises on religious dogma (Vtikadat) and worship ( ibadat), particularly that by BirgivT [Birgili] Mehmed Efendi [d. 981/1573, meant is his popular Vasiyet-name, cf. Cod.Or. 1562, below], but none on commercial transactions (mu ‘amelat) that found a readership of any importance. Therefore the author wrote an essay (risale) on the legal questions related to the subject for a general public (‘avdmm-i nas). The prologue discusses travelling to and visiting the market, the first chapter buying and selling (18a); the second usury (interest) (33a), the third sharecropping contracts (muzara‘a, 41b), and the conclusion t e illegal acquisition of goods (by bribing) - the titles are printed in CCO.

The introduction states that a suff approached a certain Molla Sa‘Td, teacher at a medrese of Budin (Buda), in 1190 (1776-7), during the reign of Sultan Murad, with questions on ablutions and the performance of prayers (10b). This statement is puzzling, to say the least, because in that year no Murad was on the throne; the last Murad [IV] had died in 1049/1640 - the following, Murad V, was to succeed only in 1293/1876. Buda, moreover, was conquered by the Austrians in 1097/1686. Be that as it may, the questions were answered by the Molla in the following pages (from lib: 15). In this, he based himself on various sources, among them a Sharh Daqa’iq (12b:5) and Anwdr-i ‘ushshaq (16a: 10).

143 THE TESTA COLLECTION (Or. 1559, cont.) (3) ff. 17b-33b Tevan%-i Mahmud Pa^a Li L ^-,^ 9 An undated copy of an anonymous biography of Mahmud Pa§a (executed in 879/1474, cf. M.C. §ehabeddin Tekindag in IA\ C.H. Imber in El 2 ). The title is found in a heading which precedes the text on f. 17b. The brief work proposes to tell the story of that famous man from his youth to his death. It is better known as Mendkib-i Mahmud Pa^a-yi Veil (a copy of which is preserved as Turkish MS 43 in the Ali Emiri Library in Istanbul, cf. Imber’s article). The biography, which is mostly legendary and deviates from accounts found in other sources, commences with Mahmud’s employment by the sultan: when he was still a young man, Mahmud, son of a butcher, was ‘discovered’ by a special envoy of Sultan Murad [II], who toured Rumelia to inspect the state of judicial affairs there, in a village near Manastir (Bitola) where he had acquired a reputation among the local monks for his cleverness in solving difficult problems with the help of the Gospel (17b-19b). The young man was given a room in the Palace in Edime and was educated by the sultan’s son, Prince Mehmed’s, höca, Molla Güranï (19b). Making an impression with his sagacity, the young man was soon appointed second vizier, and three days later grand vizier, thereby replacing Koca Ibrahim Pa§a (20a-b). Three years later he fell victim to jealous and false petitions and was threatened with execution by the sultan, but was saved by miraculously disappearing when the executioner raised his sword (21a-b). This was the work of Uizir, who went to the Palace dressed as a pir and told the sultan that he had saved Mahmüd from an unjustified death on the orders of God. Thereupon, the sultan ordered his viziers to seek and fetch him. They found him, performing the morning prayer on the spot where he should have been killed. He was brought before the sultan, who asked him forgiveness. He was again appointed grand vizier with a salary of 100,000 akge (23b). Sultan Murad died three months afterwards. Mahmud Pa§a assisted the new sultan, Mehmed, to get rid of 30 to 40,000 Tatars who had flocked to Edime to celebrate Murad’s funeral; they dispersed after fourteen days, being benumbed to satiation by 10,000 virgins and stable boys, after which they were decimated in sword fights so that only 3000 to 4000 of them were able to escape alive (24b). Soon afterwards Mahmüd suggested to the sultan that the time was ripe for the conquest of Constantinople. Many of the following pages are devoted to the ensuing campaign in which Mahmud Pa§a played an outstanding role (24b ff.). Upon the conquest of Catalfa, the sultan promoted him from lala to beglerbegi of Rumelia (27b) and

TCie work ends with Mahmüd Pa§a’s martyrdom (from f. 29a), caused by a slave boy given to him by the vindictive former Grand Vizier Koca Ibrahim Pa§a. The latter had the boy send a letter, bearing Mahmüd Pa§a’s seal, in which he suggested to Ibrahim’s concubine, a young slave girl, that she poison her master and marry him instead. The letter was shown to the sultan, who had Mahmüd thrown into the Yedikule Prison (30b) - this part of the story is said to be based on a report of a son of one of the servants of Mahmüd in prison, the ibrikoglam Sinan, who died at the age of ninety-five - and was eventually strangled to death.

Cod.Or. 1560 Kitab-i in§a Liil <_>L£ A late 18th-century copy, possibly an autograph, of a small collection of (model) letters. The title occurs in the heading preceding the text on f. lb It is dated ?evvdl 1187 (December 1773 - January 1774), the same month in which the latest item of the collection was written. The colophon (20b) ends in what seems to be a signature with the pen-name of ‘Feyzi’ indicating either the copyist or the author/collector of the letters. The author/collector was probably a resident of Urfa. The collection consists of a series of model letters written in florid literary Turkish and imparting little historical information. In many cases they contain only the initial, formal parts with expressions of grief because of being separated from the addressee, information or queries about the state of health of one of the correspondents, instructions to forward greetings and the like. A second group contains legal documents of various type which generally do contain facts such as names, dates and sums of money. Among the first category we find letters exchanged between family members: from a father (at Riiha (Urfa), cf. lb: 10) to his son (lb-2a); from a son (at Sayda (Sidon), cf. 2b:9) to his father (2a-3b); to a mother (3b-4a); from a mother to her son, Mehmed Aga (4a-5a); between equals (akran): to Ahmed Efendi (announcing the dispatch of paper and pens with Küfük ‘All, 5a-b); to el-Haccf Mustafa Aga (5b-6b); anonymous (6b-7a); idem (on the dispatch with Deli Mustafa Aga and others of a gown trimmed with fur, a bolt of cotton cloth and other items of clothing, 7a-8a).

Walsh’s edition, pp. 214-5) and is also mentioned here (heading in 55a: 11), together with the more general one given above. The colophon suggests that our copy is based on an autograph (cf. quotation below). The author mentions himself in the introduction (2a:2-3, as ‘Nergisl-zade’; in Walsh’s edition, p. 218, as ‘Nergis-zade’). The work is preceded by a long introduction (the first page or pages of which are missing here) in which the author eulogises the §eyhiilislam Yahya Efendi (d. 1053/1644) and complains about the calumny of rivals obstructing his career. The collection itself contains 32 letters (more complete copies have 38). These are followed by two ‘signatures’ (imza, favourable ‘blurbs’) by Ganizade Efendi [Nadiri] (53a, Walsh’s edition, p. 301) and Shaykh Mehmed Efendi, $enfi(55a, cf.

The work is preceded by various annotations: a note on the birth of a daughter called öayrünnisa on 1096 (1684-5, la); a note on a death, dated leyletU l-kadr [27] Ramazan 1107 (30 April 1696, ibidem); the name of, probably the owner, Hiiseyn b. ‘Osman Begzade Efendi (ibidem); a quotation in Arabic attributed to the Imam Shafi‘I (four lines, lb); a gazel (five distichs, ibidem). The pages following the work contain poems and annotations in various hands; most verses are written in the same slantwise fashion and probably by the same copyist (cf. also the note on f. 90b): a gazel by Fuzülï (56b); three gazels by Selin (57b); a distich, written out twice in different hands (58a); two gazels by Sehn (58b); a gazel by Nabï Efendi (59b); two gazels by ‘Arzl (60b); a gazel by Sehn, a distich (61b); a gazel by ‘Arzl Efendi (66b); a gazel by Misali (67a); a gazel and six quatrains by Nazim (67b); two quatrains (68b); a gazel by Nabï Efendi and another one by Nahïfï (71b); a note stating that [the owner] arrived in Mecca from Ta’if on 7 RebC'u l-ewel 1239 (11 November 1823), with a short list of the number of days spent in various other places en route (72a, four lines); a gazel by Nefï (88b); a distich (89a); two gazels by Nef‘1, the second headed: Nefi müderris li-muharririhï’ (which probably means that Nef I, d. 1044/1635, was a teacher of NergisI - it is known that both knew each other, cf.

163 5. A scroll from the library of J.H.G. Wolters One Turkish manuscript in the Leiden University Library collection, Cod.Or. 1569a, was bought in Groningen in 1840 from the estate of J.H.G. Wolters. Johann Hermann Gerhard Wolters had been bom at Cleves (Kleve, Westphalia) in 1777, came to Holland as a boy, and after a career as teacher (praeceptor, and rector) in various schools in Harderwijk and Groningen, he was appointed professor of Philosophy, Literature (‘bespiegelende wijsbegeerte en fraaije letteren’) and Oriental Languages at the university of that city in 1813. He died on 30 March 1840. No publication by him is known to exist apart from a Speech in Latin on the importance of Arabic compared to that of Hebrew for the study of Oriental languages; it was delivered on the occasion of his retirement as vice- chancellor in 1829. Literature: Van der Aa XX, p. 414; Nat, Studie, p. 144.

166 6. The Van der Palm collection In April 1841 the Leiden University Library bought 28 manuscripts, Codices Or. 1571-1599 at a public auction in Leiden. These had been part of the library of Johannes Henricus van der Palm (1763-1840), orientalist, pastor, politician and prolific publicist. Bom in Rotterdam, he studied in Leiden under, among other scholars, Hendrik Albert Schultens (1749-93, see introduction to Chapter 1), and defended a dissertation on the Book of Ecclesiastes in 1784. He was appointed professor at Leiden in 1796, but retired in 1799 in order to become ‘Agent for National Education’ for the Batavian Republic in The Hague. He returned to Leiden in 1806 as professor of Poetics and Rhetorics (‘gewijde dichtkunst en welsprekendheid’), and from 1807 he again taught Oriental languages as well. Between 1807 and 1836 he was also university pastor. Apart from his thesis, a few lectures, and his studies and translation of the Bible, he did not publish on matters Oriental. There is no indication that he knew Turkish. His books and manuscripts, sold in 1841, had been bought from the estate ofhis master, Hendrik Albert Schultens, in October 1794 (cf. preface to the catalogue, mentioned below.) Schultens’s collection contained items that had belonged to his father and grandfather as well as to another former Leiden orientalist, Johannes Heyman (1667-1737, cf. introduction to Chapter 1): Codices Or. 1573, 1575, and 1591 contain annotations in Heyman’s handwriting; Cod.Or. 1598 is a Heyman autograph. One manuscript had been copied by a French dragoman (Cod.Or. 1589), another is an autograph translation by, probably, a French jeune de langues, presented to Schultens. The most remarkable item is doubtless Cod.Or. 1598, a collection of transcriptions of, mostly, state papers by Johannes Heyman.

The name of the author and the title of the work occur in f. 3b:7-8. Many copies of this work have survived. It commences with an introductory mesnevf of 61 beyts in which, among other things, the author explains his life-long fascination with dictionaries and his decision to write a rhymed one as a nazïre to the Tuhfe-i Husdmi (of 802/1399). He also expresses his hope that the work will be helpful to children in learning Persian and scanning verses. It is followed by 27 kit'as which discuss a vocabulary ranging from words for God to that for napkin. In the last section the author explarns the numerical value of Arabic letters. Copious marginal’and interirnear glosses in the copyist’s handwriting. (For other copies, see Codices Or

Cod.Or. 1591 A collection of letters The collection, in a seemingly incomplete copy dating from the early 18th century contains letters and model letters. The original collection has at some point been rebound and leaves of a slightly larger format were added which contain glosses up to f. 29b; the following have remained blank.

175 Cod.Or. 1591, ff. 20b-21a. Two pages of a collection of letters, with, on the right, glosses in Johannes Heyman’s handwriting. The manuscript was produced in 1113/1701, probably in Izmir. Heyman (1667-1737) was pastor of the Dutch community in that town and from 1710 professor of Oriental languages at Leiden University.
176 THE VAN DER PALM COLLECTION (Or. 1591, cont.) pages of the original text also have interlinear glosses and the first page (la), preceding the Turkish text beginning on f. lb, contain lexical notes which refer to a text that must have preceded them before the rebinding. These annotations are all in the handwriting of Johannes Heyman (1667-1737, professor of Oriental languages at Leiden University from 1710, cf. introduction to Chapter 1). The manuscript is of the same format as Codices Or. 1289 and 14.456, which contain similar glosses by Heyman, and was clearly produced by the same copyist at Izmir. The last-mentioned manuscript contains even the same text (on ff. 69b- 122a) as that found here. ... . The collection contains four business letters (mektub), discussing the dispatch of cash and bills of exchange (2a-b), news - a clash between an Ottoman squadron and four frigates off Kizilliman on Samos is described in ff. 8b-9a - the management of a farm (ilb-13a), the purchase of rice, linen, coffee, tin pepper and other goods (19b-21b) and the payment of a debt (26a-b). These are followed by some contracts (temessük) concerning the sale of property (two houses and a garden) in the Kassab Uizir quarter of Izmir for 500 esedf guru?, dated 1 Muharrem 1113 (8 June 1701, 28a-30b); a debt of 100 esedf guru§ and another 20 for squirrel fur owed by Ibrahim Aga of Izmir, dated early Safer 1113 (8-17 July 1701, 32a-34b); and concerning the rent of four houses and three warehouses in the Dikili Ta$lar quarter of Izmir for 60 guru§ (for a year) to a Jew called Isaac son of Manash, dated mid-Rebfu l-ewel of the same year (16-25 August 1701 34b-38b) The collection closes with a letter of manumission (I'takname) issued to a slave of Hungarian origin called Siileyman, dated end of Rebfü l-ahir 1113 (24 September - 3 October 1701, 38b-42a), and a note (te&ire) concerning the payment of cizye by a Copt (or Gypsy, kibtf) living in ‘the village fulan’ near Bursa, dated 4 Receb 1113 (5 December 1701).

Cod.Or. 1598 A collection of letters The collection consists of (draft) transcriptions of letters in Turkish and Arabic with occasional translations and glosses, often in Latin, in the handwriting of the Dutch Orientalist Johannes Heyman (1667-1737) - his name also occurs on ff. 214a and 222a (‘ 0 .*L «U 11 iju jaaJI jUu’) - who, as many Leiden professors before and after him, was regularly asked by the Dutch government to make translations of letters received from the Ottoman Empire (see also the introduction to Chapter 1 and the index). The transcriptions in our collection were arranged according to place of origin and subsequently bound. These ‘chapters’ are separated by blank quires, some of which have remained uncut. The contents are the following: Istanbul (‘Kostantimye’), ff. 2a-52b ff. 2a-10a. A letter from the kapudan el-Haccf Mehmed Pa§a to the States- General, informing them that the Egyptian merchants Haccf Mehmed and HaccF ‘Ah had petitioned the Porte for 150 colleagues from Cairo, Rashid [Rosetta} and Alexandria who had fallen victims to piracy. The afore-said merchants had chartered two French ships under Captains Estoupan and Andrea [Moretti] in 1119 (1707) to take them and their wares to Istanbul; at the entrance to the port of Degirmen[lik] (Milos), however, they had been accosted and attacked by two Dutch galleons under Captain Samson [Peirard]; they and their goods were taken to Leghorn (Livorno); some of the goods had been restituted there but another part remained confiscated because it was argued that these belonged to hostile corsairs from Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli; to prove their case, they had obtained a hiiccet from the kazi of Alexandria stating that the goods on board the ships had been loaded in Alexandria and belonged exclusively to the Egyptian merchants; finally, after the kazi'asker of Rumelia, Mustafa Efendi, had approached the Dutch ambassador in Istanbul all goods had been given back, for which Mehmed Pa§a thanks his addressees; headed (f. 2a, see plate) by a penge with three tugs

(For more documentation on the same case, see under Cod.Or. 1380, above, and the following letters.) According to a letter sent by the Dutch ambassador in Istanbul, Jacob Colyer (in office 1682-1725, cf. Schutte, Repertorium, pp. 308-9), to the States-General, which arrived in September 1708, there were more ships involved: the two French ships, the Prophet Daniel under Estoupan and the ‘tartane’ (fitiye in the Turkish text) St. Francisco Gronde under Captain Andrea Moretti (this ship was in fact bound for Tunis, Sousse and Tripoli, see also ff. 37a-39a, below); the first was attacked by the Walcheren and 't Welvaren van Middelburg (cf. under Cod.Or. 1380, above) and the second by another ship from Zeeland, name unknown, under captain Dominicus Damsté (the original letter, dated 22 April 1708, is found in ARA SG 6927). According to the same letter, Colyer had been approached by the governor of Egypt, Hasan Pa§a, brother-in-law of the Sultan, who had sent him hiiccets in Arabic script ("Hoggetten of Attestatien" - see also below) proving the origin of the victims, and he had the impression that the case had greatly enraged the Porte; Colyer, fearing the wrath of the grand vizier, urged the States-General to act and instruct the Dutch consul, Slicher, at Livorno to have the Turks released (ibidem, letter of 22 April); the States-General thereupon instructed Colyer to have all Turkish (Ottoman) victims liberated and their goods restituted to them; residents of the Barbary states were released after they had paid a ransom (cf. Resolutien (1708), p. 1215). ff. 12a-20a.

De Groot, ‘Dragomans’, p. 133), dragoman of the Dutch ambassador Giacomo (Jacob) Colyer, that thirteen months previously they had loaded two French ships in Alexandria with Egyptian goods destined for Istanbul and that these ships had been captured off Degirmen (Milos); some of the goods had been confiscated in Livorno on the pretext that they belonged to hostile Moroccan, Algerian and Tunesian merchants and that they would only be returned to them if they showed valid papers from the governor and kazi of Cairo as well as the Dutch ambassador proving the contrary; the merchants declared that the twenty men they represented were indeed from Egypt and had no commercial relations with Morrocan, Algerian or Tunesian colleagues whatever; Hafpij 2 Muharrem 1121 (14 March 1709); signed by five witnesses (see also the previous

194 THE VAN DER PALM COLLECTION (Or. 1598, cont., 1599) Literature: A.H. de Groot, ‘Nederland en de Arabische wereld: Maghreb en Levant’, in N. van Dam, J. Brugman et al., eds, Nederland en de Arabische wereld van Middeleeuwen tot Twintigste eeuw. Wetenschap-taal-handel-cultuur- kunst (Gent 1987), pp.49-73, esp. 50-60; G. van Krieken, Kapers en kooplieden. De betrekkingen tussen Algiers en Nederland 1604-1830 (Amsterdam 1999). Cod.Or. 1599 A French translation of Tuhfetü l-kibar fi~ esfari l-bihar The Tuhfet is a work on naval warfare by the polymath Mustafa b. ‘Abdullah, known as Katib Celebi, and as HaccI Hallfa (d. 1069/1657); an incomplete copy of the work is described under Cod.Or. 825. The translation was done by LaRocque - the name occurs below the dedication which precedes the translation - and was, according to the inscription on the title page (cf. below) and a note in the margin of p. 1, based on the printed edition of 1141 (1730) by ibrahlm Miiteferrika. LaRocque is probably identical with Thomas Rocques, a jeune de langue at Istanbul, some translations by whom dating from 1731-3 are preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale at Paris (cf. Blochet S 858, 859, 882 and 909); among these is a first chapter of the Tuhfet (Blochet S 882). Less likely he was either Jean de la Rocque, known as travel writer (1661-1745) or the latter’s brother, Antoine de la Rocque (1672-1744) (cf. introduction to Jean Raymond, ed., Jean de la Rocque, Voyage de Syrie et du Mont-Liban, Beirut 1981). The translation was dedicated to Jan Jacob Schultens (1716-78, cf. introduction to this chapter) who is lauded in a separate dedication preceding the text in gratitude for some unmentioned service (‘L ’homage de mes foibles talens quejay I ’honneur de vous offrir par la dédicace de cette traduction n’est fondé sur aucune vile esperance. Flatté de vous offrir. Monsieur, un tribut que mon coeur vous doit... Je m’estimerois tres heureux... si au milieu de vos occupations, Monsieur, vouz daignez j etter un oeil favorable sur eet ouvrage et I’accepter comme production d'uncoeur reconnoissant...'). Curiously, the University Library preserves aletter in Turkish (BPL 245 xii) by the same Cèaji’) - the handwriting is also clearly LaRocque’s - addressed to Schultens in which he begs the professor to give him some money (see plate; see for another letter, Cod.Or. 6890). How or where the men met, or what their relationship was, is not known. The translation, which lacks the author’s preface and a final part including the conclusion, begins with Ïbrahïm Müteferrika’s preface (pp. 1-3) and continues

Two Turkish manuscripts were acquired by purchase from a bookseller (Cod.Or. 1634) and at an auction (Cod.Or. 1628); a third was donated to the library (Cod.Or. 1636). One manuscript had originally been part of a pious foundation (vakf, Cod.Or. 1634). They all had belonged to the libraries of scholars, Leiden Orientalists and others. Among them we encounter Reland (Cod.Or. 1634, Adrianus Reland, 1676-1718, professor of Oriental languages at Utrecht, cf. Nat, pp. 12-21; NNBWIX, cols. 851-2) and the Swedish diplomat and Orientalist Mouradgea d’Ohsson (Cod.Or. 1636). Cod.Or. 1628 is exceptional in that it had changed hands, among its owners being the Orientalists Golius and Reland, at least four times between the second half of the 16th to 19th centuries before it arrived on the library shelves.

Catalogue entry: CCO 2600 (V, p. 190). Cod.Or. 1676e A miscellany A coHection of unbound papers in various formats containing texts on different subjects. There are four items: (1) A quire consisting of five large folded sheets of coarse white paper (each page measuring 345x240 mm) which contains a part of a logbook with entries written in a somewhat irregular nk‘a, for each day and night for a period from the night of (the preceding) Thursday 28 RebCü l-ewel 1230 (10 March 1815) to Sunday 7 Cemau l-ewel 1230 (17 April 1815). The logbook gives a detailed but repetitive description of activities like the relief of the day and night shifts, the turns of duty of the captains, the hoisting and lowering of flags, the weather, the storage of fresh water, the deployment of sails and so on. The name of the ship Csefine’) clearly part of the Ottoman navy - its guns were fired each day as part of the flag- hoistmg and flag-striking ceremonies - is mentioned nowhere. The ship was anchored off Anavarin (Pylos, Peloponnese) and remained there for at least about a montfr Nothing much happened. On 1 RebCü l-ahir an English merchantman ïsited the port; fire had broken out on board; it was extinguished with the help of a waterpump borrowed from the Ottoman vessel. On the tenth a sailor (or anissary, ir nefer yolda§') died and the body ‘was sent away’. The ship departed on 22 RebCü l-ahir. From this point onward, the journal is written in five columns (see plate) indicating activities/events; the time (hours); the [number of deployed] sails; distance covered (in miles); direction; and weather
220 THE VAN VOORST COLLECTION (Or. 1676e, cont.) Two English ships were encountered on the 25th and another one, on its way from Malta to Ancona, on 1 Cemaii l-ewel. The next day, the port of Lefko§e (Nicosia) was in sight. The journal breaks off while the ship is sailing in easterly direction on a, mostly, westerly breeze. (2) A folded sheet of glazed white paper (approximately 330x245 mm), the outer two pages of which contain a diagram with letters with, on the left, an instruction on how to use it, and, after prayers, how to form a word indicating whether and how an urgent wish will be granted; the procedure is said to go back to the Caliph ‘AIT. The top of the left page contains a separate Arabic recommendation with a Turkish translation. At the bottom of the left page a signature with the name Seyyid ‘Osman is found. Written in nesih. (3) A folded sheet of coarse brownish paper (approximately 308x240 mm) with a great many, mostly small, separate entries in four columns with the text of prayers and prescriptions, mostly in order to cure ailments like headaches, insomnia, pain in the ear and so forth, or to make one’s amourous and other wishes come true. Written in fine nesih. (4) Four sheets of white paper (approximately 150x110 mm) with a four- to five- page English-Turkish glossary in two columns; the Turkish words are in Latin transcription.

221 9. Acquisitions of the 1860s and 1870s The University Library collection continued to grow in the 1860s and 1870s and its shelves were enriched with gifts, particularly from other state collections (see afro the following chapters), and purchases. Among the six items described here ree most probably once belonged to or were written by Orientalists already encountered on these pages, Johannes Heyman (Cod.Or. 1686), Nicolaus Wilhelm Schroder (Cod.Or. 1949) and Joseph Justus Scaliger (Cod.Or. 2019) see the introductions to Vol. I, Chapter 2, and Chapters 1 and 3, above.
222 ACQUISITIONS OF 1860-71 (Or. 1686) Cod.Or. 1686 Kelimat-i Tiirkiye cjUIS An undated glossary of Turkish words - the title is found in a heading on f. lb (cf. below) - arranged in chapters devoted to each of the subsequent letters of the alphabet which form the initial letters of the words, with transcriptions, clearly influenced by Dutch orthographic conventions, and Italian translations, in, probably, Heyman’s handwriting (see plate). Johannes Heyman (1667-1737) was Protestant minister to the Dutch community of Izmir and professor of Oriental languages at Leiden (cf. introduction to Chapter 1, above). The glossary is followed by a series of phrases, mostly courteous expressions, headed babu I- musahabet (97a). Various jottings are found on the inner boards; a besmele (possibly in Hamaker’s handwriting, cf. introduction to Chapter 1) and pencil annotations in French, partly crossed out, are found on the last flyleaf (verso). Bound in boards covered in faded varicoloured marbled paper with (tattered) vellum backing; glazed white, occasionally beige, pink, yellow, and pale orange paper without watermarks; 104+3 folios; 148x100 mm; 5 lines with marginal and interlinear additions; lexical items in bold vowelled nesih\ yellowish chapter headings, occasionally set in black contours; without a date and the name of a copyist. The manuscript probably belonged to Johannes Heyman (cf. above) and, according to an explanation on the title page (cf. below), later became part of a royal collection of rarities, among these many Oriental, including Turkish, objects, including a few manuscripts, housed in the Mauritshuis at The Hague from 1821 onwards (it was disbanded in 1883) - the manuscript, however, does not seem to have been on public display (cf. R.P. van de Kasteele, Korte handleiding ter bezigtiging der verzameling van zeldzaamheden in het Koninklijk Kabinet op Mauritshuis in ’s-Gravenhage, The Hague 1824); later the manuscript was handed over to the Rijks Japansch Museum von Siebold (at present Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde) in the Breestraat in Leiden. The museum was founded in 1859 and had at its core the famous Japanese collection of Philipp Franz Balthasar von Siebold (1796-1866), sold to the state in 1837 (cf. C. Leemans, Korte handleiding bij het bezigtigen van het Rijks Japansch Museum von Siebold, Leiden 1860; Overzicht van de geschiedenis van het Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde 1837-1937, Leiden 1937).

The historical part ends with the history of the Mamluks and the Ottoman sultans Selim I (72b-76a) and Siileyman the Magnificent down to the year 936/1529-30 (76a-78b, incomplete - two folios have been cut out between f. 78 and f. 79). The work is followed by a series of prayers (112a-l 15a), with occasional Turkish explanations of their use (to curse an enemy, when visiting a grave, 114b, 115a). The endpapers and margins contain Arabic, Persian and Turkish annotations and glosses in various hands. Among the latter category we find: a geographical note on Mongolia (five lines, first flyleaf, verso)-, glosses on the dynasties of Persian kings (5a-6b, upper margins); glosses on chronology, from the creation of the world to the lifetime of the various prophets, the divisions of eras, the solar and lunar year, months, days and hours; the names of the months in various languages; the hicret of the Prophet (8b-16a, upper margins); a list of dates 224

The provenance of the MS is uncertain: it was either bought from the estate of Hendrik Christiaan Mellies (1810-68), Professor of Oriental languages'at Utrecht University (cf. NNBM VIII, col. 1157; IX, col. 680), whose library was sold at a public auction in May 1870 (cf. Catalogue de la bibliothèque de M. le Dr. H. C. Millies.

Lycklama a Nyeholt (thus in CCO V, p. 191). Tinco Lycklama a Nyeholt (1837-1900) travelled extensively in the Middle East and the Caucasuses; he learned Arabic and Persian and published a travel account of his journey of 1865-8 (cf.

The glossary was almost certainly compiled by Nicolaus Wilhelm Schroder (1721-78), professor in Greek and Oriental languages in Marburg (from 1744) and Groningen (from 1747) who made a transcription and translation into Latin of a Turkish version of the first four books of Genesis: Quatuor prima Capita Geneseos Turcice et Latine ex Gemmo PentateuM Mosaici MSS Codice Turcico Eruit, Latine Vertit (Leipzig I /J9), the paper, moreover, contains a watermark with the legend ‘MARBURG’ (see also the introduction to Chapter 3, above).

234 10. Manuscripts from the Royal Library at The Hague In September 1873, thirty-three Oriental manuscripts of the collection of the Royal Library (Koninklijke Bibliotheek) at The Hague, at present Codices Or. 2065-93, were handed over to the University Library with explicit ministerial approval so that they could be included in the descriptions in the last volume of CCO which was being completed at that time. The librarian also found the manuscripts out of place in the Royal Library where they were considered to be mere ‘curiosities’. Among the manuscripts were four Turkish manuscripts. Codices Or. 2067 and 2082 had been acquired by the Royal Library from the Visser collection in 1809. Jacob Visser (1724-1804) was government prosecutor (landsadvocaat) in The Hague, a book collector and bibliographer. Cod.Or. 2067 had belonged to the College Louis-le-Grand at Paris, which comprised a school for the education of jeunes de langue, and was reorganised in 1762 following the expulsion of the Jesuites from France in the same year; in 1763, the Collége became part of the University of Paris. The manuscript was sold with official approval. Cod.Or. 2081 had been bought by the Royal Library at a public auction in The Hague in April 1816 and may well have belonged to Johannes Heyman (1667-1737, cf. below). The provenance of the two letters in Cod.Or. 2092 is unknown but they had most probably been sent by the States-General to Leiden for translation (and not returned). Literature: Anahide Ter Minassian, ‘Les Arméniens du roi de France’, in Frédéric Hitzel, ed., Istanbul et les langues orientates, Paris 1997, pp. 215-34, esp. pp. 225-6; Verzamelaars en verzamelingen.

235 ACQUISITIONS OF 1873 (Or. 2067) Cod.Or. 2067 A collection of stories concerning the exploits of fjöca Nasruddïn The undated copy contains 110 anecdotes (letOyif) in which the traditional Turkish wise fool figure of Nasruddïn «öca is the protagonist. These stories in simple Turkish have always enjoyed a large readership (audience). Many collections exist in manuscript and have been printed, often with illustrations, in numerous editions ever since the 19th century; there are also translations into many languages Collections m manuscript and in early printed editions often bear titles such as Menakib-i or Letayif-t or Hikdydt-i Nasruddïn Höca. The present collection contains, as is explained in the introduction, five chapters (bob) devoted to respectively, stories about the höca himself, followed (in f. 38b) by those involving women, boys and girls, donkeys and a person called ‘imadï This division into subjects gradually blurs towards the end; no chapter headings are found in the text itself. Most of the anecdotes here collected are not more than coarse, facetious jokes. A note in Latin on the contents (‘... Anonijmi, qui creditur Nassir Edim grammatica Arabica’) is found on f. la. ‘Naceredine' is written on f. 87b. (For a similar collection, see Cod.Or. 1132.)

He is possibly identical with §emsF Ahmed Pa$a isfendiyarogli, a vizier, musahib of Sultan Murad III, and a poet (d. 988/1580-1), as is suggested in TYTK (Antalya) 3572. (Although it was apparently fairly well known in view of the number of extant copies, the work is not mentioned in any reference work apart from manuscript catalogues. A more likely candidate for §emsf is perhaps §emsüddm Ahmed Sivasi, d. 1006/1597, a prolific author and poet who also used this pen-name.) The title is found in a heading preceding the text on f. la and in f. 10a:6; the name of the author occurs in f. 12b:4. The work is preceded by an extensive introduction (la-12b), in which he pays his respects to his predecessors ibn Firi§te (4a: 1) and §ahidï (4b:3) who also wrote versified dictionaries which were his examples (cf.

The work is preceded by an introduction (3b-4b) - the author introduces himself in f. 3b: 10 - and explains that it was written for Prince Mustafa, son of Sultan Süleyman the agnificent (mentioned in f. 4a:5), whose tutor (höca) he was between 955/1548 and 960/1553. It is followed by a preface (mukaddime, 4b-10b), three treatises (makale, from 10b), and a conclusion {hatime, 141a), which contain an exhaustive treatment of Ottoman prosody (‘arüz), rhyme, and rhetoric elements illustrated by quotations from Arabic, Persian and Turkish poetry, among them verses composed by the author. s Marginal corrections and additions in various hands, including a Persian distich and a lme ascribed to Fuzülï-i Bagdad!

(1) An original copy of an undated letter from the kapudan, Halil Pa§a (d. 1040/1630-1, four times kapudan between 1017/1609 and 1032/1623, cf. SO 2 II, p. 582; see also De Groot’s study, pp. 48-82 and his Ef article), to jj$U (the Dutch Stadtholder Prince Maurits, in office 1585-1625). Emphasizing the existing good relations between them, he informed the prince of the arrival of Isaac Palache, envoy of ‘our friend’ the ruler {hakim, Sharif) of Fas (Fès), al- Mawlay Zaydan (ruled 1016/1603-1037/1628), who reported on his mission to Safi and Algiers, and his delivery of a letter meant to reinforce the mutual good relations and trade between the Republic and the North African province and which was addressed to the local beglerbegi and kul ta’ifesv, he, Halil Pa§a, requests that the Prince send another of Mawlay Zaydan’s agents, Joseph Palache [Isaac’s father], to the Porte with a galleon in order to confirm the good relations between The Hague and the Porte. The kapudan finally reports that he had heard that heavy fighting had broken out with Spain and that ‘the slaves captured by you have arrived’. Halil Pa§a had played an important role in the realization of regular Dutch- Ottoman relations and, particularly, the granting of capitulations to the Republic in 1612. For two decades the Moroccan Jewish Palache family was for two decades involved in Dutch relations with the Mawlay, which were established on a regular basis in 1610. The letter here decribed probably dates from December 1624 and seems to be the one mentioned in De Groot’s study, p. 317 (note 199), although the content shows some differences to the summary found there. The States-General suspected it of being a forgery and asked confirmation from their envoy at Istanbul, Comelis Haga, but it never came. The mission of Joseph Palache, who accompanied a Dutch mission to Morocco and Safi in 1623-4 in which his son also participated (cf. above and Schutte, Repertorium, p. 382), probably never took place.

The collection Rijks-Instelling Among the, mostly Indonesian, manuscripts collected in the library of a state institute for training Indian civil servants (‘Rijks-Instelling van Onderwijs in Indische Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde') are found a few Turkish documents The school was founded in Kloksteeg No. 25, Leiden, in 1864 but after a languishing existence was closed down in 1877. Great emphasis was laid on the teaching of Malay and Javanese (Turkish did not figure in the curriculum). The manuscript collection was tranferred in parts to the University Library between 1871 and . . v ' ew ofthe above > «is questionable whether the Turkish documents had originally been part of the institute’s collection, and they may have been put away in the Malay collection for convenience’s sake by a librarian at the same time or at a later date. ; ^! 1 ri “ 8a ’ p - 283; C Fasseur - De Vlogen.

246 THE COLLECTION RIJKS-INSTELLING (Or. 2233) Cod.Or. 2233 A collection of letters, documents and writing exercises The collection contains seven Turkish letters which, at least partly, belonged to Bernard Eugène Antoine Rottiers (1771-1858), art collector and officer in Russian and Dutch service. He travelled to Russia with his wife and four children in 1809 or 1810 and was appointed officer in the 20th Division at Tiflis in 1811; he travelled back to Istanbul in 1818 and visited Athens and other places in Greece in 1819 before he finally returned to his home town, Antwerp, in 1820. His sojourn in Georgia and his journey to Istanbul are described in his Itinéraire de Tiflis a Constantinople (Brussels 1829). In 1824 he embarked on a plan to travel to the Greek Archipelago in order to collect (more) antiquities. The mission was sponsored by the Dutch King, Willem I. He travelled to the eastern Mediterranean in 1824-5 with his wife, his son Victor, and the painter Witdoeck, but after some short expeditions undertaken from Izmir, he decided to abandon the idea in view of the war that was raging in the area at that time: the suppression of the Greek revolt in Crete and the Peloponnese by the Ottomans. Instead he decided to concentrate his attention on the island of Rhodes which he visited briefly in September-October 1825 and during the first half of 1826. This expedition resulted in his Description des mommens de Rhodes (Brussels 1830). (cf. NNBW II, cols. 1238-9; F.L. Bastet De drie collecties Rottiers te Leiden, Leiden without year.) (17) An undated incomplete copy of a memorandum in which it is stated that henceforward and in view of the good relations between the Porte and the Netherlands which had lasted for more than two centuries, and in view of the fact the last-mentioned country had successfully mediated in the peace negotiations between the Porte and Austria at Sistova [in 1791], as well as in view of the ‘closeness’ (akrebfyet) of Russia with the Netherlands and the fact that peace has been established between that country and the Porte [at Bucarest in 1812], Dutch merchantmen will [also] be allowed to pass through the Bosphorus and have access to the Black Sea under their own flag. (This happened, thanks to Russian mediation, in 1820, cf. Nanninga, Bronnen IV, p. 1007.) Glazed white paper; 315x190 mm; 15 lines; nk'a. (18) An original copy of a letter by ilyas b.

248 THE COLLECTION RIJKS-1NSTELLING (Or. 2233, cont.) (Selguk, near Ephesus) to be issued to a Dutch ‘commander’ who wants to travel there. The sender, having read the consul’s letter, points out to him that Aya Solug falls under the jurisdiction of the sancak of Aydin as does the final decision on ‘my note concerning the statues [süratli fay]’. He also points out that the distance from Izmir was great, particularly ‘in these troubles times’, and that it would be better were the commander to travel straight from Ku§adasi in the company of one of his, the consul’s, men. Dated 19 §ewal 1240 (7 June 1825). Glazed white paper; 335x190 mm; 10 lines; rik‘a\ seal with name of sender; envelope, 200x92 mm, with two red wax seals and legend ‘hala medinet izmir’de mukim Ku§adasi konsolosi sadakatlu döst-i kadïmum Vicincu cenablanna vusül'.

Bastet’s study p. 95). Natale Vuccino or Viccino had some years earlier been Dutch agent at Syra (cf. Nanninga, Bronnen IV, p. 1060, passim). (19) A copy made by Jean Nep.

252 THE COLLECTION R1JKS-INSTELLING (Or. 2242 II, cont.) Ahmed of Tunis, addresses scholars and wise men, and describes how he, when still young, went to Fès in Morocco to study at a local madrasa and had devoted most of the rest of his life to higher learning (‘ilm-i hikmet ii kemal) but by a bad turn of fate was imprisoned in Europe. There a knowledgeable gentleman bought him and made it possible for him to continue his metaphysical studies and become acquainted with the works of Plato, Socrates and other great philosophers. Thus he found out about the shape of the earth and the circumstances of the world. He realized that both the élite and the common people profited from this knowledge and that the Muslims, too, should be acquainted with it. Therefore he began to translate these works from the Frankish tongue and script into the Islamic script in compensation for which he was promised a letter of manumission (azadname). Would God only grant that one day he would return safe and sound to the Islamic lands! The work itself begins with a discourse on the main geographical features of the earth and the four continents. The text, written in 967/1559, originally accompanied a world map, probably produced for the Muslim market by the Venetian publisher Giustinian with legends in Arabic script and companion-texts in (bad) Turkish by the dragoman Michele Mambre who posed as a certain Haccf Ahmed of Tunis (see Ménage’s article; the text, summarized above, and an English translation are printed onpp. 296-7).

253 12. Acquisitions of the 1880s Major acquisitions enriched the University Library during the 1880s. They contained only a few Turkish manuscripts. Cod.Or. 2745 was part of the rich collection of Amin al-Madanf, purchased from E.J. Brill, booksellers in Leiden, in 1884. In the same collection, there is also a brief, anonymous eye-witness account of the siege of Egri (Eger) in 1005/1596, translated in Egypt into Arabic from a Turkish original (not further described here, Cod.Or. 2708). Cod.Or. 3047 was bought from the estate of Antonie Rutgers (1805-84), a student of Prof. Hamaker (cf. introduction to Chapter 1) and professor of Hebrew and Sanskrit at Leiden University from 1837 (cf. Nat, p. 139; NNBWll, cols. 1244-5), at The Hague (where he had been living since 1875) in January 1885. Two notebooks (Codices Or. 3070b and 3071) were received from the Leiden Ethnographic Museum (at present Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde) in November 1887 The second of these manuscripts, Cod.Or. 3071, had possibly belonged to Levinus Warner (1619-65, cf. Volume I, introduction to Chapter 3). They had earlier belonged to a royal collection of rarities in The Hague (cf. under Cod.Or. 1686, above). Another four manuscripts (Codices Or. 3080, 3083-4 and 3086-7) were donated by the jurist S.J.E. Rau (1801-87) and were received by the University Library on 28 January 1888. Rau was the son of Sebald Fulco Johannes Rau (1765-1807), professor of Theology and Oriental languages at Leiden University from 1787 as well as curator of the Orientalist manuscripts at the library (cf. Nat pp. 120-1; NNBWIX, cols. 842-3). Some of these manuscripts had belonged to Leiden Orientalists of earlier generations (and had perhaps been ‘borrowed’ from the University Library by Rau): Cod.Or. 3080 is an autograph draft written by Jacob Golius (see on him Volume I, introduction to Chapter 1); Cod.Or. 3083 is a copy of a letter made by Shahin Kandi, a copyist in the service of the University Library and Jacob Golius (see ibidem), and was probably bought by Adrianus Reland (1676-1718) at the auction of a part of Golius’s manuscripts in October 1696 (cf. below). Some of the manuscripts of the Rau donation show signs of serious damage, obviously caused by the explosion of a barge loaded with gunpowder which had been moored in the Rapenburg Canal at Leiden on 12 January 1807; the explosion caused severe damage to Rau’s house (cf University Library Archive L 17).

288 15. Acquisitions of the 1920s It would be another seven years before the next Turkish manuscript arrived on the University Library shelves: the hefty Cod.Or. 6197, received through the mediation of J.H. Kramers, sometime between July 1920 and late January 1921. Johannes Hendrik Kramers (1871-1951) was dragoman at the Dutch Embassy in Istanbul between 1915 and 1921, lecturer in Turkish and Persian (from 1921), and professor of Arabic and Islamic studies (from 1939) at Leiden University (cf. Schmidt, Legation Window, pp. 117-8). He was curator of the Oriental manuscripts at the University Library (‘interpres legati Wameriani’) from 1940 to 1951. His papers are preserved in the Library under Or. 14.221-8, 18.096, and 18.100. Other manuscripts purchased through his mediation (in 1924-5) are Codices Or. 6254 and 6255. The last-mentioned manuscript had been part of the libraries of a number of high state officials and at least one Sultan. Another manuscript, Cod.Or. 6238, was received from E.H. Stieltjes, an engineer who lived in The Hague. He sent it to Prof. Snouck Hurgronje in Leiden. (The latter was interpres from 1909 to 1936.) In a letter dated 27 October 1921, kept in the manuscript, Stieltjes explains that he found the work when he was tidying up his library and (obviously not being able to read it - he thought it was an Arabic manuscript) offered it to Snouck who was free to do with it as he liked; Stieltjes had received it from Algeria. The rare Cod.Or. 6240 was purchased from Luzac & Co. of London, booksellers, between December 1921 and November 1922. Cod.Or. 6269, a work in Chagatay Turkish, finally, was bought from E.M. Hoppe at Ru§?uk (Ruse, Bulgaria) through the Leiden firm of Brill sometime between April 1926 and December 1928.

The treatise is followed (7a-37a) by a series of tables on different paper and probably collected from one or more different manuscripts. These are lunar-solar conversion tables for the years 1814 to 1879 (7a-lla); tables for the months kamn-i sam (January) to kamn-i ewel (December) with various data like the names of the months in other languages, the nature of the weather and ‘seasonal features’ of every day (1 lb-17a); a series of similar tables specifying in particular the length of days and nights for every day of the solar months (17b-23a); tables showing the inclination and altitude of the sun for the solar months of the years 1793 to 1888 (23b-29a); tables showing the times of the principal eight altitudes of the sun from rising to setting for each day of the solar months, with general specifications of the sun’s nature (colour of light and the like) and weather phenomena (29b-35a); a table showing the days of the week (represented by letters) for the lunar months of the year 1200 (35b); a table for calculating the days of the week, including some major feasts, for the lunar months of the years 1200 to 1239; a table showing the fortunate and unfortunate times of each day and night of every weekday in relation to the signs of sun, moon and planets (36b); and a table for establishing the weekday for the first of each solar month (37a).

294 ACQUISITIONS OF 1920-8 (Or. 6240) Cod.Or. 6240 Yüsuf kissasi rt-M> i HI A mid 18th-century copy of narrative poem with the story of Yusuf in mesnevi rhyme by a poet who calls himself ‘Süle Fata’ (153b: 12), which means so much as ‘stupid khoja’ (cf. Derleme sözlügü X, p. 3707, and XII, p. 4502); his name is also given as ‘Süle Faklh’ (cf. Levend, p. 129). The title occurs in f. 3a: 15 and elsewhere. The title ‘Yüsuf-name’, written by an owner who knew English - a very beautiful Turkish Poem on the History of Joseph, No. 49' is added in the same ink - possibly a bookseller, on f. la. The work is better known as Yusuf u Züleyha and was written in the 8th/14th century (cf. Levend, pp. 128-9). The work seems to be extremely rare; the Turkish scholar A.S. Levend mentions that that he owns a copy (ibidem, p. 129n). Nothing further seems to be known about its author, who may have been a professional storyteller or a§ik (wandering minstrel). The language is simple and shows the characteristics of old Anatolian Turkish The narrative was based, at least partly, on a Tafsir-i qissa-i Yusuf attributed to Ibn ‘Abbas (cf. 105a: 10), but was more directly based on §eyyad Hamza’s shorter work of the same title (7th/13th century; cf. Dehri Dil?in s edition, Istanbul 1945, pp. 9, 26-40), and contains, according to the author, 4,800 distichs (153b: 8). It is preceded by an introduction which comprises a brief story of the creation, the appearance of Muhammad and the Koran with the sürat Yusuf (lb-3b). The work itself is divided into long sections without headings, in the beginning of which the audience is often addressed directly at the second person singular as in the introductory verses (lb): ‘Beseech His help whether you are a foot soldier (er), minstrel [or lover, ‘a§ik] or cavalryman’. Or: ‘If you are a lover (‘asik) prick up you soul’s ear [and listen ] to me, and I will tell you this story, bit by bit’ (72a: 12). The poem is closed by an epilogue (153a-b).

The translation is preceded by an introduction which is, apart from some additions by Molla Muhammad, a translation of Kashifi’s original (lb-9a); it mostly discusses the Indian origin of the work, considered to contain invaluable counsel by a number of princes, and the subsequent translations into Pahlavi, Arabic and Persian. The work itself is, as the original, divided into fourteen chapters (bab). The translation ends in a chronogram Cyahfi yar’) which also results in the year 1131. The florid prose, alternated by poems, closely resembles that of the Persian original. A few marginal additions. Various annotations are found on (what remains ot) the title page and the last original flyleaf.

Visser, a clerk of the court (griffier) in Leeuwarden, in January 1930. Three manuscripts, Cod.Or. 6694a-c with various texts written by the Turkish physician, politician and publicist Riza Nur (1879-1942), were received in June 1935. Five manuscripts, Codices Or 6801-5, all copies of widely spread works, most of them expensively produced, were purchased from E. von Scherling, an antiquarian of great learning and bookseller, in 1938. One manuscript, Cod.Or. 6813, was bought from Adnen Maisonneuve, bookseller, at Paris in June 1938.

307 ACQUISITIONS OF 1930-8 (Or. 6694, cont.) to write prose, mostly articles and narrative pieces of an autobiographical nature, and poetry. Manuscripts of his work, meanwhile, were handed over to various libraries in Europe, including the Leiden University Library, the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, the British Library in London and the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris on the condition that they were not to become public before 1960. Having returned to Turkey, he lived off his officer’s pension and edited another periodical entitled Tanndag. He was found dead behind his desk on 8 August 1942, his head resting on the latest draft issue of his periodical. Some texts, including his memoirs, were published in four volumes in Istanbul in 1967-8. Literature: F.

The title, to which is added; ‘müsvedde halinde’, and the name of the author, ‘Doktor Riza Nür’, occur on the unnumbered title page, as does the subtitle ‘La réorganisation de la Turquie’. The programme is preceded by an introduction (pp. 1-3), headed ‘baylangic’ (see plate), in which the author sketches the ‘awful decline’ and virtual death of Turkey, previously home to a ‘brilliant culture and unrivalled conquests’. Unfortunately, Atatiirk, in the grip of ignorance, despotism, domination and arbitrariness, sensuality and pleasure, cunning and mania’, did nothing to improve things by uprooting the foundations of the state and the nation. (An erased sentence also had ‘an ignorant fellow like ‘Ismet Pa§a [Inönü]’ - second president of Turkey, 1938-52.) A country and nation which has been bereft of its original culture cannot survive. The author had lived in Europe and wished to make public what he had seen and learned for the sake of the nation’s revival. A nation can be revived in twenty years, if peace reigns and the right measures are taken. These measures, then, are outlined in the following (from p. 4). They are to be implemented through a party which bears

309 ACQUISITIONS OF 1930-8 (Or. 6694, cont.) the name of ‘Türkpü’, of which the basic programme is outlined on pp. 4-7. It is followed by a detailed survey of ‘measures’ and ideas in fifteen chapters, numbered I to XV. The programme is rounded off by an appendix (zeyl, pp. 96- 110). It is a curious mixture of extreme nationalism, modernism, republicanism, Islamism, Pan-Turkism, anti-socialism and anti-cosmopolitanism (‘communism, socialism, internationalism and cosmopolitanism are each of them microbes of the social structure and a disaster for all nations, and must therefore be opposed with might and main , p. 6) which, after it became more widely known in 1963 still caused an uproar in the Turkish press at that time (cf. Flemming’s article, p. 9) Among the many curious details, I list here: the return of the old (Arabic) script to be used besides the Latin one (p. 7); the reconstruction of tekkes which should become missionary centres for spreading ‘Turkism’ (türklük, ibidem). Among the first measures (I) to be taken is the undoing of all traces of Kemalism: the toppling (iskdt) of Atatürk and his punishment (p. 9), followed by the punishment of his crony ‘Ismet Pa§a, the removal of his supporters and his party (ibidem) - statues of the man are to be replaced by those of [the, mostly, 19th-century writers and politicians] Namik Kemal, Mustafa Re§id Pa$a, ‘All Pasa, Midhat Pa§a, Ibn-i Sma [Avicenna], ‘Air Su‘avi and others (p. 10); the ‘abolition of parasitism {dalkavukluk)', the greatest calamity which ever befell the Turks (II, p. 17) - points in support include respect for the law, freedom of the press’ import of investment capital, lowering of taxes, free elections, the publication of an official catechism of Islam, the removal of non-Turkish officers, officials and teachers - the state archives should be published in their entirety’ (p. 23). These are followed by an outline of state institutions and their ideal working: parliament the presidency, the council of state (II), the army (III), the various ministries’ from that of foreign affairs (IV) to that of religion and pious endowments (XIII) - a striking point here is the revival of the caliphate and the election of caliphs by parliament (p. 82), and the forming of a missionary organization with the task of enlightening Anatolian peasants and making propaganda for Islam and Turkism abroad. Following chapters discuss the future of the Turks in Asia and the formation of a greater Turkey (XIV, pp. 88-91) and the setting up of special organization to counter hostile actions by, for instance, Armenians, and protect ah Turks (XV, p. 92). The appendix (pp. 96-110), finally, recapitulates and elaborates the author’s thoughts on a number of subjects, particularly those touching upon the nature of the Turks (‘the Turkish nation is God’s most distinguished people’, p. 96) and the future of ‘Turkism’, the danger of Europeanization (frenkle$mek), Islam as the official Turkish religion, the danger of dictatorship combined with socialism and the status of women (‘our principle:

Cod.Or. 6694b §i‘rlerim ve nesir makalelerimden bir kagi I aJlio jït $ A (mechanically reproduced) neat draft copy in Riza Nur’s handwriting of a collection of his poems and prose writings. The title - with subtitle ‘Mespoésies - and the name of the author appear on the title page (p. 1). The work is preceded by an (autobiographical) preface headed ‘baflangic’ written in Paris in 1929. In it the author writes that he noted his first poems and prose at the age of eighteen, and his first articles on medicine and art soon after he had finished school (mekteb); later he also wrote on politics. Some of his unpublished writings were lost when manuscripts were confiscated by agents of the Young Turk régime ittihadalar hükumetï, after 1908). Another part was eaten by mice during his exile or were rendered illegible because of moisture damage. He had collected a part of what was left of his poetry and articles in this work. The collection comprises: poetry in the traditional metres (‘ arüzli si ler , pp. 5-10, seven numbered items, all written at the Medical School (at Saraybumu, Istanbul) and partly incomplete (the first item was written in July 1312/1896, see plate); poems in syllabic metres, mostly of a polemical, political content (pp. 10- 120 55 numbered items, written between July 1918 and April 1932 in various places: Alexandria, Ankara, Tiflis, Moscow, St. Jean-de-Luze [sic] and Paris; a few are accompanied by brief commentary). A long teref-i bend ‘describing our times, that is, the era of Mustafa Kemal and ‘ismet’, and written in Pans in October 1928 on lined notepaper in blue ink, was later pasted on pp. 58-70, it shows many erasures and correctons.

312 ACQUISITIONS OF 1930-8 (Or. 6694, cont.) ‘some impolite words’ (bir kag nezahete mugayir kelime). The poetry is followed by a libretto for an opera in two acts entitled Cehenneme celse (pp 121-179). It is characterized as ‘Tarïhe ve Tiirk ogullarina ibretli, feci' kara bir cumhuriyet tablosï (p. 121). Among the personalities figuring in it are, among others, the Devil, Tepegöz, a seven-headed dragon, a fox, a hyena, a witch, Nimrod, Pharao, Nero, Mustafa Kemal, ‘ismet, Yünus Nadi, Yakub Kadrf, RQ§en E§ref, and other well-known heroes of the Turkish Republic. A crowd of devils, robbers, drunks, whores, pimps, dancers, and so forth, function as extras. The first act is staged in hell, showing a boiling tar kettle in the midst of fire and flames (cf. p. 123); the second act is also situated in hell; in the background we see a square surrounded by ruined houses, gallows, heaps of dead bodies, a triumphal arch and a statue of Atatiirk; central is a 'raki table’ around which are seated Atatiirk, ‘ismet, Bozok Salih, Falih Rifat and other cronies wearing top hats and swallowtail coats; they are busy drinking while ‘girls and boys are dancing naked’ (cf. p. 149). The final lines are sung by Namik Kemal, wondering how it was possible that, despite his writings, the nation had fallen victim to yet another dictator and calls for its salvation: ^ e-j» Jl—il 4-JLU ..1?J^jjl (gillij 4-lé.M s*-® iS-H ‘3.M [...] .c*»l ...

The opera is followed by another series of poems written in Paris and Alexandria between August 1932 and August 1934 (numbered 56 to 64, pp. 180-196). The poetry is followed by prose: fragments of §ukufe-i mahabbet’, his first work, written in an olive orchard at Srnop when the author was eighteen years old (pp. 199-205 - for another copy see Flemming 214(7)); an article published in the Ikdam newspaper on 13 March 1909 with the title ‘Göriyorum ki i# fend gidiyof, a critical essay on the political role of the ruling (Young Turk) Committee of Unity and Progress in the Ottoman state (pp. 206a- h); and prose pieces: a ‘sihhï makale’ with the title ‘My&r bir doktor' written on 10 April 1322/1906 (pp. 229-34); a story named ‘Nice’de gigek muharebesi , written in Venice on 8 April 1911 (published in §ehbal, 1 October 1338/1922; pp _ 234-40)- a piece titled ‘Rü’ya', according to a note on p. 241 about a dream of Namik Kemal, written in plain Turkish and with rectifications; it is ‘of great educational and moral value to the nation (pp. 241-58).

Le mouvement nationaliste et les guerres de l’indépendance après la guerre mondiale, alors que j’étais ministre et plénipotentiaire du gouvernement de la Grande Assemblée Nationale d’Angora, a Moscou et a la conférence de Lausanne. Critique du discours et des mémoires de Moustafa Kémal pacha, Président de la République turque. ’ The work is preceded by a preface written in Paris in 1929. Added to the memoirs is a diary covering the year 1930 (from p. 1561) and a ‘description of the Republic’ (pp. 1793-7). Finally he explains that he left Marseilles on 27 January 1933 and moved to Alexandria (p. 1797). In a concluding epilogue (pp. 1797-8) he describes how he hired people to make neat drafts of his works and have them bound; some volumes were sent to the Paris Bibliothèque nationale and some others to the Berlin Staatsbibliothek. The last four to five months had been spent making multiple neat copies of his memoirs, early poems, and the party programme (cf. under b); this he could only do himself. He had this ready on 1 March 1935, the day he was writing the epilogue. ‘I will now bring them to a binder and have them bound. I will get them and send them to Europe and hide them in safe places. Only the day on which that has been done will I find complete peace.’ The memoirs have been published in Latin script by Altindag Yayinevi in four volumes (Istanbul 1967-8). A typed letter (seven pages) in French from the author to Claude Farrère (pseudonym of Charles Bargone, 1876-1957, prolific novelist and writer) is bound between p. 1619 and p. 1620 (not in the printed edition, cf. p. 1608). It was written at Berck-Plage on 6 August 1930 and lavishly compliments the addressee on his book on Pierre Loti (Loti, published in 1929) and for his sympathetic attitude towards Turks in general; it ends in a bitter critique of Atatürk which include the lines: \..Je suis sur que le temps viendra oü seront érigées les statues de Loti et de Farrère a Istanbul.

334 17. Acquisitions of the 1940s The Oriental collection on the University Library continued to expand in the 1940s, albeit some of the items registered during the decade had already been in de facto possession before 1940. A series of fermdns wes donated to the University Library by the engineer A. Spakler of Amsterdam in September 1940. A Persian manuscript with Turkish annotations, Cod.Or. 6831, was purchased from the antiquarian E. von Scherling in February 1941. Two items, Codices Or. 6887 and 6890 were ‘found’ somewhere in the library in October 1946 and registered; their provenance is unknown. Six manuscripts, Codices Or. 6962-7, were donated to the Library by C. van Arendonk on 1 November 1946 and had been purchased from Von Scherling. These are mostly miscellaneous items dating from the 19th century and contain some unique material. The Orientalist Comelis van Arendonk was responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Library s Oriental collection since 1917. He died in 1946. From November 1947 registration began of the large manuscript collection received from Snouck Hurgronje. Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje (1857-1936), traveller in Arabia, resident of the Dutch East Indies for 17 years, colonial adviser to the Dutch government and professor of Arabic at Leiden University from 1907 to 1927 - he was also interpres of the Oriental collection in the Library (cf. introduction to Chapter 15) - was an impressive personality, well known outside academia, and a fierce polemist who dominated Dutch Orientalism even beyond the grave. A large part of the collection, consisting mostly of Indonesian and Arabic manuscripts, had already been in the Library since 1907 and was officially donated to it in 1936. In the early years of the 20th century and after he had returned from the Indies (in 1906), Snouck took up learning Turkish, as is also clear from a number of notebooks in the collection, Cod.Or. 7114, which date from 1907-8. He regularly travelled to Stuttgart where he took lessons from Meluned Hayruddm Bey (for more details, see the letters from Hayruddm Bey to Snouck in Or. 8952). A curious item in the collection, not further described here, is Cod.Or. 6988, an anonymous German manuscript (163 pp.) with the title ‘ Uber die Millets im tiirkischen Reiche; November 1900 bis Januar 1901 ’ and which may be considered to reflect this new interest. Written in German cursive {'Kurrentschrift'), it is unlikely that it was written by Snouck himself, who, when he wrote German, which he did frequently, used the Latin script. It was probably written by one of Snouck’s many German Orientalist friends. In 1908, the year of the Young-Turk ‘revolution’, Snouck travelled to Istanbul just in time to witness the impact of the event on the Ottoman capital and stayed on for a few months (25 July - 23 September. During this period he kept notes (in Cod.Or. 7114) and described his experiences in an article for the Dutch journal De Gids (and reprinted in Verspreide geschriften). From the notebooks in the
335 aforementioned codex, it is clear that, during his stay in the Ottoman capital, Snouck did some research (‘fieldwork’) in popular culture - he had interviews with Jü/T shayks and, notably, made the acquaintance of the public storyteller Mustafa ‘A§ki - and attended popular theatre shows. After his return to Holland, Snouck’s interest in matters Turkish seems to have flagged, and apart from the aforementioned items, the collection contains only two other manuscripts with Turkish texts: Codices Or. 8235 and 8236. The latter contains texts related to the öalvetiye order of dervishes, some of them rare. A third item, Cod.Or. 7015, a collection of vocabularies, contains Turkish words in Latin transcription. The University Library, finally, obtained another of its (many) copies of §ahidfs rhymed dictionary through a gift of a certain Mr. J.C. Jute in April 1948 (Cod.Or. 8330). It had original been part of the library of the Collége Louis-le- Grand at Paris and was later (1780) acquired by a French jeune de langue or dragoman called Fonton. Literature: C.

We find (1) the story of Ordekfi Oglan (2a-62a) which clearly belonged to the repertoire of public storytellers (meddahs, cf. note f. 22b; see also under c, below). No title or name of author is given, nor does the story seem to be mentioned in reference works. It is followed by (2) a description of Istanbul seen through the eyes of a (modem) tourist who arrives by train from Europe, hires a guide (terciiman), takes rooms in a Beyoglu hotel, and tours the centre by tram (63a-73a), and (3) the first part of a version of the story of the forty thieves ('Kyrk haramiler masaly', 73a-80a) - set in Aksaray, it relates the journey by a girl through a hidden tunnel in her garden to the palace of the forty thieves; the fragment ends with a visit to the bathroom (abdesthane), where she tries to think of a way to escape without Ibis, a bearded cook she had come across in the kitchen, following her. (The story continues in c.). Identical transcriptions of these texts are found in an exercise book in Cod.Or. 14.222(d). The first story (1) runs as follows. Ördek$i Oglan was the thirteen- to fourteen- year-old son of a poor widow of Kalbur Saman, in the (Jaseki quarter of Aksaray, Istanbul. He began his career as an apprentice-shoemaker in the shop of a neighbour, Ahmed Aga, but had soon had enough of his boring life, escaped one night from home, and entering the treasury of a rich house, stuffed his clothes full of coins. He was caught in the act but permitted by the generous residents, enraptured by the boy’s shining beauty, to keep a small capital. For this money he bought some cages with ducks at the Yemi§ iskelesi. The next day, he roamed the town selling the ducks. Two men, however, time and again postponed payment and the boy decided to take revenge. Disguised as a beggar, he posted himself near their house and learned of their ways and habits. Thus, disguised as a bathstoker, he was able to rob their kitchen of food when the gentlemen entertained themselves in the baths. Disguised as a lady, the boy was able to hoist himself up on a rope used for drying pastirma in the pantry of one of the infatuated gentlemen. In the role of a venerated shaykh, he was able to have the gentlemen disrobed and bound with straw, and even got them so far in their
363 ACQUISITIONS OF 1940-8 (Or. 7114, cont.) ridiculous state as to offer a petition to the sultan, who happened to pass by, returning from a visit to the BayezFd Mosque, in which they complained of their sufferings. Thereupon a guard disguised as a jeweller on camelback was sent out to capture the boy. The latter, disguised as a muezzin coaxed the agent into the mosque of Cerrah Pa§a for prayers, stole his jewels, and butchered the camel, turning the meat intopastirma to be sold in the streets. The adventures end in the exposure of both the ruling grand vizier and yeyliülisldm; the first was given a sleeping draught by the boy again disguised as a girl and, after he had shaved off the official s beard and had forced him into his clothes, he transported him to the sultan s palace at Be§ikta§; one night, the latter was surprised by a visit from Ezra’ll (the boy tarred with cotton fluff) and transported in a box to the same palace where he was given a tour through hell (the cellars where black men were sitting around a fire) and paradise (the sultan’s quarters with houris and heavenly ephebes). This greatly amused the sultan, who, after having sacked both functionaries, adopted the boy as a companion and lavished presents upon him Interlinear and marginal notes in German and, occasionally, Dutch, written in pencil.

IbiS is only rescued at night when the thieves return home. The next day, the girl again visits the thieves palace and offers apologies to the cook for the incident. After a meal she is shown around the house. In the dining room of the chief robber, she coaxes the cook into drinking until he succombs to a drunken stupor, shaves off his beard, and leaves him alone. In the evening, the cook is urged by the chief to iock the girlup m cupboard so that she receive her punishment. When she returns for the third t , the cook warns her to go away and not return. Instead, she returns with a set of clothes, puts them in a leather bag in which pekmez is keptand hides herself elsewhere in the room to await the outcome. In the evening the chief robber as expected, slashes the bag which he mistakes for the girl, stoops down to drink the pekmez which he mistakes for her blood, and loudly utters his regrets of having killed her. Thereupon she appears and the chief robber, happy to see er ive, marries her, the wedding feast lasting for forty days and nights.

Kramers (1871 195 , see the introduction to Chapter 15) were bought from his widow G Kramers- Vlaming Peyzier on 27 December 1954. They are now Codices Or 8528-32 one of which contains unique documentation on the exploration of salt-works in Wallachia in the early 19th century (in Cod.Or. 8532). A smal collec ion of manuscripts was bought from the firm of E.J.

405 ACQUISITIONS OF 1949-59 (Or. 8799, cont.) between 1132/1720 and 1142/1730) of the universal history by Müneccimba$i (d. 1113/1702, cf. GOW, pp. 234-5). The work is also known as Saha’ifli l-ahbar. The text was copied by H.A. Hamaker (see inscription on the title page quoted below). Hendrik Arent Hamaker (1789-1835) was professor of Oriental languages at Leiden University from 1817 (cf. Nat, Studie, pp. 129-34; see also the introduction to Chapter 1). A copy of the translation was owned by [Abraham Constantin Mouradgea] d’Ohsson [1779-1851, see under Cod.Or. 1636 - the copy is now part of the collection of the Lund University Library, cf.

Cod.Or. 8876 Zeyl-i Siyer-i nebevf An incomplete, early 19th-century copy of a continuation of a biography of the Prophet entitled in full ‘Dürretü t-tac ft stret sahibi l-mi ‘rac’, but better known as Siyerf-i Veysf], by Üveys b. Mehmed who used the pen-name of Veysi (d. 1037/1628). The continuation, also known as Zeyl-i Siyer-i Veysf, was written by Yüsuf Nabï (d 1124/1712). The title of the continuation is found in f. 2b: 18; the name of the author occurs in ff. 2a:9-10 and 3a:4. Many copies have been preserved. The work is preceded by an introduction (lb-3a) in which the author explains that Veysf died before he had been able to finish the biography and that he NabI, was willing, in order to fulfil the author’s prayer that the biography be completed, to continue where his predecessor had stopped (3a).

409 ACQUISITIONS 1949-59 (Or. 8952, cont.) in Arabic, Turkish, Malay, and other related languages, mostly received by Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje and, secondly, personal papers and photographs which had belonged to him (see for biographical data the introduction to Chapter 17). The personal papers contain only one document with a Turkish text: a passport (addressed to the relevant officials at Istanbul) issued at the Ottoman Embassy at The Hague on 15 June 1324/1908, with a seal of the chargé d’affaires. (A Dutch passport for a journey to Turkey and issued on 3 July 1908 is found in the same file, see plate.) The letter collection has been classified according to the name of the sender and chronological sequence (if possible). Letters in Turkish and those related to them are found under F (Mehmed Fu’ad Bey), J (Georg Jacob), K (Mehmed Hayruddm), M (Mahmüd), N (Mehmed Nizam!) and O (A.H. van Ophuijsen). Some additional information on Snouck’s teacher Hayruddm and his visit to Istanbul is found in S (Snouck to M J de Goeje, 12.8.1907, 18.7.1908, 17.8.1908). There are also a few unclassified items with Turkish texts. The Turkish is all written in nk‘a script of varying legibility. Or. 8952 F. Re’if Mehmed Fu’ad Bey to Snouck Hurgronje (1908) Re’if Mehmed Fu’ad Bey was an officer, in fact an aide-de-camp (yaver), of the Sultan (cf. the address in Snouck’s draft of 27 July), who made Snouck’s acquaintance at the instigation of Dr. Menzel. Theodor Menzel (1878-1939) was a German Orientalist; he succeeded Georg Jacob [see under J, below] as professor at Kiel University (in 1926). 28.7.1908 (letter in German, one page) Dr. Menzel recommended that the sender make the acquaintance of Snouck; he hopes to meet him soon in his fatherland. - 17.8.1908 (telegram from Yeniköy to Hotel ‘Messeret', Bab-i ‘Al! Street) "I made a mistake about the time; I will be expecting you on Tuesday Evening, that is on Fleet Night." (see plate) (The telegram is accompanied by a draft reply by Snouck asking him to mention the hour he is expected.) - 30.8.1908 (letter in German, one and a half page) Sender invites Snouck to visit him on Monday evening. "You will have a splendid view [Rundschau] from here." Boats depart to town at 4 and 6 o’clock Turkish style. "You can also enjoy the whole illumination of the Bosphorus from Maknk[öy]."

411 ACQUISITIONS OF 1949-59 (Or. 8952, cont.) Or. 8952 J. Georg Jacob (1908) The collection contains three letters in German with occasional Turkish quotations. Georg Jacob (1862-1937) was a German Orientalist, professor at Erlangen University (from 1901) and Kiel University (from 1911), who is best known for his studies on the Ottoman and Egyptian shadow theatre. He was considered to have been the founder of Turkish studies in Germany (see obituary by Littmann). - 13.7.1908 (letter from Erlangen, one and a half page, with eight separate sheets with notes and an envelope) Sender has seven questions for Snouck, only the first of which, on Vïranï Baba and the five ‘spirits’ (ru/i), is of particular interest to him. (The last questions are for the Encyclopaedia.) Sender received letters from Schwally (see below) and Menzel (see above) who informed him that they also intended to travel to Istanbul. He is curious to hear what the results of Snouck’s contact with Bekta§T shaykhs in Istanbul will be; there are reportedly also Bekta§Ts in Beirut. "Perhaps you should not forget Meddah Sururi." [There is a note on Siirun in Snouck’s diary, but apparently he did not see him perform cf. Cod Or 7114c, 22b]. A sheet in the same format as the letter gives detailed information on people, Turks and Europeans, to visit in Istanbul: ‘Ömer LutfT (studied law in Erlangen, now at the Ministry of Justice behind the Aya Sofya Mosque [police inspector’ ended his career as consul-general in Berlin, d. 1918]); the bookseller Nasrullah from Tabriz (near the Bayezfd Mosque - has a good collection of lithographic books; literary people gather at his shop in the evenings); isma‘11 [Sa’ib Efendi (Sencer) 1871-1940] librarian of the nearby library (contact via Nasrullah); ‘Air ‘Tschiskozade’ of Canea [Hanya], Crete (friend of ‘Ömer Lutff, "doctor of my faculty"); ‘A§ki, meddah (near the Feuerwache at the Galata Tower not personally known to Sender); Sürüff ("seems to me the most interesting meddah in Constantinople", apparently to be found in the "Café Dil-Kuscha"); Ortaoyunu is to be seen on the Asiatic shore of the Bosphorus, performances are announced in the Sabah; Necib ‘Asim [Yaziksiz, 1861-1935] ("knows Old Turkic and seeks contact with European scholars, ist aber als türkischer Oberst sehr behindert... I corresponded with him"); Dr. [Friedrich] Schrader (will travel from Baku to Istanbul in July; has many Turkish connections); Dr. [Karl] Süssheim [1878-1947] of Nuremberg ("is in Istanbul at the moment... knows many Turks. His address is Sirkeci, Hotel d’Europe, Constantinople"). "There is some doubt about whether you will be able to stay with Turks; they are often not allowed to do this." Best

413 ACQUISITIONS OF 1949-59 (Or. 8952, cont.) places to go to are Miss Cittrey and Madame Meyrand. Hotels are bad and expensive and do not welcome visits by locals. "One should be careful with water; most of our friends have suffered from typoid fever in Constantinople." One should also take care with Bomonti beer, oysters and fish. Good wine was sold by an Armenian on the great [Galata] bridge "I used to drink it every day." Seven smaller sheets, partly numbered, concern questions which Snouck may be able to solve for him during his stay in Istanbul; these concern (1) VTranT Baba and his treatise (see under Cod.Or. 7114c, above - Sender would like to know more about it; Snouck acquired a printed copy, now in possession of the Leiden University Library [under press mark 8204 F 13], to which he added extensive glosses); (2) Baba Nakka§ (introduced painting to Istanbul under Bayezfd II; Sender would be curious to know whether there is still work by him to be found in the [Topkapi] Palace; quotes from Evliya Qelebi [Seyahatname] VI, p. 101); (3) "Karagöz figures are manufactured at Sarracbane and are also for sale there - I have not been able to find out how they make the leather transparent..." (with pencil note by Snouck: "They are sold there. The seller buys the camel leather from one man who knows how to prepare it...”); (4) Sender would like to know since when the Mevlana Hunkar of Konya has girded on the sword of ‘Osman during the kilif alayi and suspects that the ceremony only began under Mahmüd II (see also under N, below); NüruddMye (an order of dervishes mentioned by Hughes; the tekke reportedly is in Karagümrük (cf. under N, below); CemalTye (also in Hughes, founded apparently in 1164/1750); and MuradTye (according to Hughes founded in 1132/1719; their tekke should be in [the] Fatih [quarter]) The envelope contains Dutch notes in faded pencil by Snouck about, among other things, A§kl and Stiruri (present in a coffee house in Direklerarasi) - both perform in ‘Libadè’ in Üsküdar. "6/8 08 speelt ASky blijkens advert, in Iqdam in Cemberlitas caddesi in Abdullah (javu§ kirathanesi". - 26.8.1908 (letter from Grand Hotel Jungfrau, Interlaken (Switzerland), one and a half pages, with envelope, addressed to the Dutch Legation, Istanbul). Sender thanks Snouck for his letter received the previous day. "In Stuttgart I made the acquaintance of your student [Ophuijsen, see under O, below] whose name I regrettably do not know - he was called Dr. Orpheus - who told me you had been already in contact with Bekta§Ts." Meanwhile, Sender had expanded his knowledge on the order by studying Cambridge MSS owned by Dr Browne and sent to Erlangen; the oldest VTranl Baba MS originates from 1649. He had also spoken with Graf Eberh. von Mulinen in Bern who knows Nafi‘ Baba in Rumelihisan [cf. Cod.Or. 7114c, above]. In the oldest Bekta§T texts one finds the ogma, now secret (sirr), that Adam, Muhammad and ‘AIT are identical. The

Sender apologises for his bad handwriting; he is continually disturbed by conversations in the writing room. , -19 9 1908 (letter from Erlangen, one and a half pages, with envelope, addressed to the Messeret Oteli in Istanbul and from there forwarded to thanks Snouck for [picture of?] the 14 dervish caps and the had returned home suffering from a cold and was being visited by Dr. Menzel who was busy with the translation of Mehmed Tevfik’s ‘Mejxane - there were many difficulties in the text and he had little time for his own work Die Schenke oderDie Gewohnheitstrinker von Konstantinopel Beihn l909 .

Mehmed tjayruddln to Snouck Hurgronje (1907-1921) The collection contains letters in German and Turkish, all sent from Stuttgart (Urbanstrasse 96) to Snouck Hurgonje in Leiden (Witte Singel 84a) and Istanbul (the Dutch Embassy). (Jayruddm was a former Ottoman General Staff officer who had been sent to Stuttgart for the purchase of Mauser rifles and had married a local German woman (‘Schwdbin’); consequently he gave up his military career and found work in the state agency which exported the weapons (komgL jwm. Speditionsgeschaft von Mauser'). The rifles were produced m the Mauser-Werke afobemdorf on the Neckar, not far from Stuttgart (see also Wallach ss 105). tJayruddm spent most of his spare time compiling a German-Turkish dictionary. In 1907, before the birth of ‘All, three of his childrenmed.

There are other Ottomans (Armenians) in Stuttgart, but none of them knows Turkish sufficiently well. - 7.7.1907 (in German, typewritten, with two lines in Turkish, handwritten) In response to a letter dated 5 July, Sender declares that he can see him, Snouck, after seven in the evening and during his holidays from the end of July to early August, if necessary also on Sundays. In the past, he has been paid 2 marks per hour. - 5.9.1907 (postcard) In response to a postcard, received a few days earlier. Sender has written to a friend in Istanbul for information about a book sought by Snouck. Greetings from his wife and children. -13.10.1907 (letter, two pages, with envelope) In response to a letter received on 4 October; Sender has postponed answering until the books, ordered from Istanbul, had arrived. This happened the day before but regrettably they were not the books he had expected. He compliments Snouck with his Turkish - there are only a few mistakes - particularly in view of the busy times Snouck is living through preparing himself for his new tasks. He looks forward to meeting Snouck (again) during the next holidays. He promises him to have a picture taken of himself and his family when he has more time; Sundays are now spent translating newspapers brought from Izmir by the merchant Karl Hopf (<_kj>*). With greetings. Sender includes a specimen of a recently published Turkish-German dictionary or grammar (lugat kitabi) by Hakkï Tevfik Bey and requests Snouck’s opnion about it. (There is also a list; ‘1 story, 1 münse’at, 1 catalogue’.) -3.11.1907 (letter, one page, with envelope) In response to a letter, received two weeks previously. The books, including a catalogue from Istanbul, sent to Snouck had been received; he could keep them if he liked. Sender had also ordered a Turkish-German dictionary or grammar {lugat kitabi), but it appeared to be rather succinct. He would order more books from Istanbul and hoped to discuss this when he would see Snouck again.

The war had exacted a terrible toll on Sender; after his two daughters had been taken away from him in October and December 1914, he also lost his wife at the end of the war.

Sender is toying with the idea to take a loan of 5000 guilders from Snouck, change it into 125,000 marks, and buy a house; it will be easy to pay back the amount after perhaps five years when the mark has been restored to its normal value. Snouck knows he is honest and if he dies before reDavment, Snouck will have the house.

"I greatly regretted your departure and that of Mr. u iijj ». [Schwally], and I talk about you every day now. For Prof. Jacob’s questions [see under J, above] I went to shaykh Vasfi Efendi but I could not speak to him because of the Ramadan. There is no book on the ‘sword ceremony’ [kilig alayi]..." The letter continues with a lengthy quotation from a manuscript found in Konya and originating from Hemdem Qelebi concerning the succession ceremony by which the last Seljuq ruler consacrated Ertugrul by handing drum and flag over to him. Of late the ceremony had of late been abandoned by the Ottomans who were saturated in oppression. The first to gird on the sword had been Qelebi Sultan Veled; the first to receive the sword was ‘Osman Beg "With my letter, I will send you the Karagöz figures", but Ramadan had made it impossible to obtain them. Sender had been impressed by Snouck’s learning and energy which contrasts sharply with ‘our laziness’, "but we will earn your respect under the Constitution, work hard and make progress." Concluding compliments -3.1.1909 (letter, three pages, with envelope). "Quite a long time has passed since we have written one another. I know how exalted your occupations are. As for me, you know the emotions I have passed through these past times. My thoughts and my life were stunned by a thousand events. At times the cries of war, at others the possibilities of a bloody deception shocked us. Thank God our land is free today and the national sovereignty secured..." Sender had not been able to find anwers to all Snouck’s questions regarding the tarikats; he went three times to Fatih [quarter of Istanbul], but in vain; because of the revolution and the demonstrations he found no-one in the tekkes. The remainder of the letter contains some information: about the ikmalTye (or Kemallye) Order reportedly founded in Istanbul in 1164 [1750-1] - it did not exist; about the order founded by Shaykh Nuruddin el-CerrahT in 1146 [1733-4]: there were at present four tekkes in Istanbul ("I went personally to the tekke where he was buried..." - Sender quotes a chronogram found on the window of the tiirbe, with the year 1211/1796-7, and another by SamT found on the gate to the tekke, with the year 1274/1857-8). The Nüruddïnïye tarikat was a branch of the Halvetfye and holds its meetings on Mondays; it is widely spread over Istanbul and there are three tekkes: one at Ni§anct (Fatih) at the Kamerli Mosque; its special day is Tuesday, its shaykh is

As regards the Muradlye: its first shaykh was Murad §amï, renowned in Istanbul as Mesnevifcan Murad Monla; he was exiled to Syria, where he founded a tekke and died (so there are two tekkes in all). The one in Istanbul is in Karagümrük. It belongs to the Nak§ï tarikat. Sender had not heard news from Prof. Schwally, although the latter had promised to write to him. - 7.1.1909 (letter, two pages, with envelope) In reply to a letter from Snouck. Sender notes that the letter is in French but is of the opinion the Snouck was well able to express his thoughts and feelings in Turkish. As regards new publications in Turkish, they can be characterized as "pro-freedom, anti-oppression". "You were bom in feedom, you grew up in freedom, works in freedom... so you know better about freedom and oppression than we do, but we will work now.” No works of scholarly content have appeared that are worth noting; hopefully this will happen soon. Because of the ‘freedom’, the courses in Ottoman literature at the University [DarülfUnün] have been suspended for a year; examinations in literature and medicine have been postponed. Sender will follow courses in philosophy, literature and history from Ahmed Midhat Efendi and Riza Tevfik Bey. Sender inquires after Snouck’s health and expresses his readiness to help his student, Ophuijsen. He will send copies of isti$are to Snouck. Greetings. - 19.2.1909 (letter, two very long pages, with envelope) Sender expresses his regret that the information about the tarikats sent to Snouck earlier contained some mistakes. First the biography of Shaykh Murad (d. 1132/1720), founder of the Muradlye; a long quotation from Hadikatii l-cevami', p. 292, follows. There is ope of his tekkes in Eyiib named §eyb Murad dergahi; shaykh Vasff is buried there. The Muradlye is in fact the same as the Nak§Tye tarikat. There are one or two Muradlye tekkes in Syria. Later, in 1200 (1785-6), Begzade Mustafa Efendi built a tekke at Fatih. It still exists. (A list of his successors follows.) Mehmed Murad Efendi was bom in 1203 (1788-9). He was a famous Mathnawireader and known as Murad Monla - the Mathnawi and divans of Hafiz, Sa’ib and §evket are still read out in the tekke. He built the Mesnevfijane at Fenar on the Come d’Or where the Mathnawi is read only on Fridays. He is buried there. "This is the Murad I wrote about in my last letter." As regards the Nüruddïnïye: its founder was Nüruddïn Cerrahï (d. 1115/1703-4); Sender had not seen a biography of him but found one in Hüseyn Vassafs Sefine-i evliyd (there follows a lengthy quotation). His tarikat belongs to the Halvetfye, and is called the Ortakol branch. Sender will write more particulars later. "You ask the title of the risale found in Konya..."; it has no title and is part of a mecmü'a handed down through the
432 ACQUISITIONS OF 1949-59 (Or. 8952, cont.) generations. More data on the sword ceremony are found in Ra§id s history^(A summary of the above follows.) The tekke of Nüruddm is at Kara Gumruk in front oTthe Cerrah Pa§a Mosque.

The continuous crisises and politick altercations in the Ottoman lands have caused a total intellectual stupor and make it ™po ^ to write letters Although there is still hope of progress, there is also an inclination toward pessimism.

Sender goes on to discuss the annexation of Bosnia by the Austro-Hungarian empire; the press; the appearance of Hajji Rasim Bey [Ottoman consul at Batavia, cf. Legation Window, pp. 89, 113 - the collection contains a visiting card with Ramadan wishes from the consul, see plate] and his replacement by Er§ed Bey; the latter’s dragoman Said Badjenet, a naturalised Arab from Batavia; the chaos in the embassy archive; his progress in speaking Turkish; his future Arabic lessons (from a law student of Egyptian origin and son of a Mevlevf shaykh of Üsküdar); his task of reading newspapers and the paltry funding of it; embassy affairs (the lack of a Dutch doctor; [the dragoman] Carabetian’s idleness; the [temporary envoy] Van [Limburg] Stirum’s rage against Snouck because of the latter’s criticism of his sanitary plans - "he swore he would never help you again with anything”); his meetings with NizamT Bey (see under N, above) - they both hope to see Snouck again in Istanbul. - 3.8.1909 (letter sent from the Dutch Embassy at Istanbul, redirected to Hotel Falkenstein, Herrenalb, Württemberg, eight pages; see plate). In reply to a reproachful letter from Snouck. Sender reports that he had sent his first press report to The Hague and offers to send original documents to Snouck. He had only been able to scrutinize a few papers; he had difficulty reading the Arabic ones. The letter continues with political news: the hanging of Dervish Vahdetf [editor of the periodical Volcan and one of the instigators of the counter-revolution of April 1909, cf. Dani§mend, Kronoloji IV, pp. 372-3]; the Crete crisis; the Young Turk policy; and embassy affairs: his visits to the ministries; the arrival of [Councillor] Royaards ("he is very deaf, stupid and lazy. He has written only ohe letter during the first week since his arrival"); the continuing lack of medical care, the sorry state of Nizami whose mother-in-law is dying and whose newspaper [‘courant'] folded after three issues - Sender fears that he will again take to the bottle ("Drinking here is a wretched thing: almost all young people indulge in it as soon as they feel somewhat low"). Sender hopes to be able to move soon to Direklerarasi in order to experience the Ramadan festivities from close by and to be closer to his friends in Tavuk Pazan. "A few days ago I listened to a meddah, the well-known ‘Asqy Eff." (see under Cod.Or. 7114c), but could not understand much of his ‘Asiatic dialect’. Sender also mentions his correspondence with tJayruddfn Bey and visits to the latter’s old father (cf. under K, above); he also complains about the oppressively hot weather and insects. He finally reports on a last, fruitless visit [to the Embassy] by Rasim Bey. -23.1.1912 (letter sent from the Dutch Embassy at Istanbul, five pages) Sender

He also reports his assistance to Dr. Weil of Berlin in correcting a tedious Arabic text and the culminating conflict with the Dutch envoy - complaints about his work and insufficient salary to the Foreign Ministry at The Hague had been without result; Sender had decided to leave the service (I don t need to go to Istanbul if I want to play the typist and to suffer poverty ).

438 19. Acquisitions of the 1960s The 1960s saw a sharp increase in the number of acquisitions for its Turkish collection by the University Library. A copy of Riza Nur’s political programme, the original of which had come to the University Library in 1935, was made in 1961-2 and registered as Cod.Or. 10.805. Three manuscripts, Codices Or. 10 851-3 were purchased from the booksellers Thornton & Son (11 Broad Street, Oxford) in March 1963. Cod.Or. 10.851 is interesting for a unique mecmu a which it contains - it originated at the court of Es‘ad Pa$a, a governor of Crete and poet, in the early 18th century. Cod.Or. 10.852 is a seemingly unique copy of a Battalname by Cemall. Another five, Codices Or. 11.050-4, were bought from the same firm in October 1965: a splendid copy of the DMn of_?a ib wdh a Turkish section; a commentary by Sürürf; works by Arif Efendi, Ahi s Husn ü Dii and a Quintet of Neva’I. Cod Or 10 861, a copy of the Türth-i Ni$anci, was part of a large collection of mostly Ottoman printed books and periodicals, that arrived m the hbra^ from Istanbul from 1963. Reputedly, the collection had belonged to the library of Sultan Murad IV ruled 1293/1876, d. 1904], According to the documentation in a file of the Library Archive entitled ‘Aankoop Bibliotheek Sultan Ottoman Murad Ve (1962-1965)’ it consisted of about 10,000 printed volumes and six manuscripts, originally part of the private library of Murad and [his son and] heir to *e throne, [Mehmed] Salahuddln Efendi [d. 1915], and was offered for sale y rs. • Akkut, ‘descendante du feu ismail Pascha’, to the Dutch Ministry of Pubhc Instruction, Arts and Sciences in July 1962 (circular in French of 23.7.1962). isma'ïl Hakkï Pa§a (d. 1915) was married to Behiye, a daughterof^alahudd Efendi (d i910). Whether the collection had really been part of Murad s library is a moot point and cannot be proved from internal evidence. (The occu ^ ence ° f gilded tugras on the cover of some of the printed books cannot, as had_been suggested by the owner, be regarded as such.) After the director of the Dutch Institute, Prof. A. A. Cense, had seen the collection, party kept in a Bayezid quarter of Istanbul and partly in storage in Nigde (north-eastern Anatolia) the Curators of the University agreed to release amount of 100,000 Turkish pounds (ƒ40,000) (cf. letter of 29.12. ). collection, formally bought by Cense personally in order to avoid problems with Turkish customs authorities, was sent to Leiden from the Dutch Institute in May 1964 (cf letter of 4.6.1964). According to a note in the aforementione manuscript, it was taken to the Library by Cense himself. This seems, according mTe accession register, to have happened in May 1963. Two other manuscripts from the same collection, Codices Or. 11.058 and 11.059 (relatively rare copies of an expensively manufactured tafsir and a collection of legal documents bodi from the 19th century), were handed over to the Library by him in January 1966.
439 Another manuscript, an Ottoman budget for the year 1320/1904-5 (Cod.Or. 12.222), was only registered in 1969. Cod.Or. 10.864, a (quite voluminous) scrapbook with various texts, mostly hiiccets, dating from the early 18th century, was bought at an auction of the firm of Menno Herzberger & Co. of Amsterdam in June 1963. Another manuscript, Cod.Or. 10.978, was bought in Britain on 29 May 1964. Five manuscripts, Codices Or. 11.039-43 were bought from A.A. Fatatri an Egyptian by origin and a resident of Leiden, on 18 October 1965; prices paid were, respectively, ƒ 150 (for a late copy of the Varidat by Mustafa Üsküdarï), ƒ150 (for a copy of a popular tract on mysticism), ƒ150 (a late 19th-centuiy miscellany), ƒ125 (a Vastyetname by Birgili Efendi), and ƒ150 (for an apparently unique translation of al-Ghazalï’s Kimiya s-sa'adet). More manuscripts were bought from him in seventeen instalments during the following years up to a grand total of 503. The last lot, 43 manuscripts in all (Cods.Or 12 079 to 12.121), were bought on 7 July 1969 (for ƒ 3500.-). Yet more were to follow in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Most of these manuscripts contain texts in Arabic, about thirty almost exclusively Turkish texts, and about a third, together with works in other languages, also brief Turkish texts, some of them only fragmentary, ranging from copyist’s verses to separately added letters and brief tracts. Only one manuscript has a main Persian text (Cod.Or. 12.052), another 35 have additional texts of a fragmentary nature in the same language. (There are also two manuscripts with texts in Malay.) The dominant genres represented in these manuscripts are Arabic grammar, Koranic science and prayers, Islamic ethics and dogma, and jurisprudence' Striking among the last category are manuals on problems related to the division of estates and consisting almost excluvely of varicoloured diagrams and tables. Smaller groups clearly originated from suft circles, particularly in the aforementioned series Or. 11.039-43, and in the sequence Or. 12.029-60 bought in March 1969. Another small group (Cods.Or. 12.104-21) is dominated by tracts on the exact sciences, in particular arithmetic and astrology and includes some autographs. Almost all manuscripts seem to have had their origin in the central provinces of the Ottoman Empire - quite a few Arabic works also had Ottoman authors - and were produced - but data are only fragmentary - by and for mosque personnel, students, scholars, kazis, and other members of the learned élite and the ruling institution, commonly referred to as ilmiye. The manuscripts in the suft genre were often produced by and for shaykhs. The dates shown in colophons range from the 14th to the early 20th century, but most manuscripts were produced in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The books only exceptionally seem to have been part of vakf libraries, but were mostly part kept in private libraries and many show signs of active use, sometimes for centuries on end. By their nature the manuscripts represented in this sub-collection do not often show
440 r. their often tattered appearance. (Some of the more worn volumes were rebound by the firm of Kloosterman at The Hague, their paper receiving conservation treatment.) The growing secularization of Ottoman institutions related to education and the law combined with the inexorable shrinking of the Ottoman territory made the texts found in this sub-collection increasingly redundant; they became obsole in 1924-5 with the closure of the medreses and tekkes in Turkey. Great quantities must have appeared in bookstalls in Turkey and south-eastern Europe and this, together with their outward appearance, also may explain that the manuscripts must have cost little. The prices asked by Fatatri anyway were, for that t being low - they varied from ƒ25 to /110 per volume, some went without a number of rare fetva collections by rather obscure müftis: those of Hakinu Efendi (Late 18th century, Cod.Or. 11.585[5]), Dervi§ Mm (undated and with a bi-lingual, Arabic-Turkish, text, Cod.Or. 11.589[1]), and Riza (undated Cod Or 11.614, copied in the early 19th century). An autograph seems to be found in Cod.Or. 11.584, a 19th-century autograph epistolary manual o calligraphic distinction. There is also an undocumentated rhymed version of the aforementioned Vasiyetname, Cod.Or. 11.111(2); a commentary equally undommented elsewhere, on the famous Qasidat al-Burda by Hacci Efendizade Aksarayl (mid 17th century, Cod.Or. 11.115, copied in the 18 th century Lan anonymous interlinear Turkish translation of the Mukhtasar al-Qudun a well- known manual on jurisprudence (undated, Cod.Or. 11.753); a collection undocumented treatises on metaphysics (in Cod.Or. 12.030); a cdtocdon^of juridical documents entitled Tuhfetu l-küttab, compiled by MusazadeEfendi(lje 18th century, Cod.Or. 12.032); a, possibly, autographcopy ofCevn sM.c™ a-i cezdyir (Cod.Or. 12.033, dated 1062/1651-2 - the author died in 1065/1654 5) an undocumented work on ‘Abd al-Qadir Gïlanï and ^ pdm^ order of dervishes (Cod.Or. 12.057); a rare (realise on astronomy by Seydl All Re s < ■ 970/1562). entitled tM.lt»»/«(Cod.Or. 12.058(2 early 18* c and an nndocntnented translation of an Arabie treanse ond*. by Vant Efendi (d. 1096/1684-5) in a contemporary copy (Cod.Or. 12.104[7])• A " oth ® r interesting item is a collection of texts related to the Nak§bendiye order "es by the 18th-century shaykh and poet, MustaTa Salim, who inched some of his own verses in the manuscript (Cod.Or. 12.055). Unique is, fm y, Cod Or 12.016, a splendidly illuminated collection of Arabic and Turkish devotional texts, both lithographed and handwritten, dating from the mid 19th century. Purchases from other sources during these years were , finally, Cod.Or. 11.071,

A, possibly, mid 19th-century copy of a version in prose and, occasionally, poetry, of the epic of Seyyid Battal Gazf by Cemall. (The copy ends in an erased text, probably a colophon, in which the year ‘120’ is still visible; it is followed by another date, 15 Zil-ka‘de 1284 (9 March 1868), perhaps added later.) The title occurs in a heading preceding the text on f. lb; the pen-name of the author is found in some verses: ff. 4a:5; 6a: 16. The epic recounts the wars fought by the semi-legendary figure of Ca'fer b. Hiiseyn, better known as Seyyid Battal Gazf, based on the Umayyad warrior ‘Abd Allah al-Battal, against Byzantium in the 2nd/9th century. Various recensions of the epic in its Turkish-Ottoman garb, both in prose and poetry, have survived. At least until recently, the epic was part of

Cod.Or. 10.853 er-Risalet el-Muhammediye ilLujJI A mid 16th-century copy of a popular didactic work on Islam and its dogmas by Mehmed b. Salih Yazici, better known as Yaziciogli Mehmed (d. 855/1451). It has the form of a long poem in mesnevi rhyme interspersed with kastdes - there are 9008 couplets in all - and its principal subjects are the creation, the life of Muhammad, and the Apocalypse. The full title is found in f. 247b:5 but the poem is more generally and simply known as Muhammediye. This title is found in the headpiece on f. lb, but is confusingly ascribed there to (the author’s brother) Ahmed Bican. The real author’s name appears in f. 3a: 17. The work is prided by an introduction (lb-3a) and ends in a long epilogue (hatime, 241b-245b), containing a description of the author’s dreams in which the Prophet and his sujt master, Shaykh Hacf Bayram, appeared as well as ample praise of the ruling Sultan Murad II, his son Prince Mehmed, and the author’s patron, Vizier Mahmud Pa§a Kassabzade.

We find vakf-names (pious foundation deeds) - these belong to the longest items (cf. ff. 78b-77a; 77a-75b; 75b-a; 52b-a; 52a-50b) - or amendments to existing ones, marriage contracts, letters of trustees, bills of divorce, gifts, loans of various types, wills statements concerning inheritance, release of slaves, deeds of sale, sharing of profits and losses, claims for debts, dowries, and financial accounts of the division of inheritance. A few items which establish damages in cases of personal injury document the existence of crime: a certain Hasan who was beaten to^deatt> with a shepherd’s crook by a iimmf called Sem'un Voyan near Korea (57a-56b), an Ahmed Celebi of Istanbul who died after he had been stabbed with a dagger by Hasan Be§e (56b); a certain Fatima who was beaten by Ahmed Be§e in a vi age near Ankara and lost five teeth (56b); and a band of highway robbers led by a certain Nufal which was active around Sehriban near Baghdad (24b). A few items document ‘vile acts’ (ef‘al-i kabiha, often meaning sexual assault) which happened when a Janissary called Hüseyn invited a group of lowly thieves and whores into the house of a p^sha in Istanbul and spent the night drinking wine (56a); a woman called Fatima was accused by another woman of unlawfully inviting people into ÏÏSZ2 mixing with scoundrel, (33a); and a girl called Said,, was in her bed in a village near Baghdad during the night by a certain Mahmud (25a- 24b). Curiously, there are also two attestations of the ill-health of slave girls recently bought: one Giilistanbint ‘Abdullah, of Russian origin, appeared to be suffering from scarlet fever (in Istanbul, 43b), and a certain Dildan bint ‘Abdullah, also of Russian origin, who showed signs of salty right arm (at Baghdad, 13a-12b).

459 ACQUISITIONS OF 1961-9 (Or. 11.039) Cod.Or. 11.039 Varidat-i mensüre ve dfvan-i manzüme o J $ a j jjLVo An undated copy of a work on mysticism in prose and poetry by Seyyid Mustafa Ha§im el-Üsküdari el-Celvetf who flourished in the mid to late 18th century. The title and name of the author are mentioned in f. lb: 1-2; the author again mentions himself in f. 6b: 10, comparing himself to ‘a cloud that carries the words of God’. The work is preceded by the author’s spiritual pedigree in Arabic going back to Hr Hüdayï also known as ‘Aziz Mahmüd Efendi el-Üsküdarï (printed in Pertsch (Berlin), p. 164). The pedigree is followed by an introduction (mukaddime, cf. 6b:9) to a collection of poems, which follows in f. 8a. It comprises a series of 140 gazels and kasides in divan sequence (8a-75b); the name of Sultan ‘Abdulhamld [I, ruled 1187/1774-1203/1789] is mentioned in f. 58b:5. There is a miiseddes in ff. 8b-10a. The series is followed by 14 mesnevfs, the first of which is entitled ‘kastde-i muharremiye’ (76a-83a); four kasides, the last of which shows ebced rhyme (with distichs ending in the subsequent letters of the alphabet) (83b-85b); a mesnevi(86a-87b); eight quatrains (87b-88a); and 31 beyts (88a-90a). The poetry is followed by thirteen letters on, mostly, mysticism and the path - the last letter also contains a digression on the prognostic value of letters in relation to historical and contemporary events - dated between 1161/1748 (98b) and 1194/1760-1 (108a, 111b).

Muhammad al- Ghazali’s Persian compendium on ethics and mysticism, Kimiya as-sa'Oda, by Kami. The title of the original work and its author (d. 505/1111) are found in the heading preceding the text on f. lb and in f. lb:6-7 (cf. GAL I, pp. 422-3, S I, p. 750). Several Turkish translations are documented, but not one by Kami - his name is mentioned in the preface, f. lb: 11. In a note added in the margin of the same page, it is explained that Kami Efendi was a scholar and a nephew (son of a brother) ofCemalüddm Aksarayl(d. 791/1389, cf. article by I. Mélikoff in EP; see also plate) and that the translation was commissioned by Sultan Bayezld. In view of the absence of archaisms in the language, however, a more likely candidate for the authorship is perhaps Kami Mehmed b. Ibrahim el-Edimevf (d. 1136/1724), who is known to have translated at least one other Persian work into Turkish (cf. Götz II, 42). From the colophon on f. 40b it is clear that the copy was based on an earlier copy completed by ‘Ömer b. ‘All el-Esm in the medrese of Sultan Mehmed IJan in Istanbul in 1171 (1758).

GAL I, pp. 264 ff., S I, p. 467 ff.). More than ninety commentaries have been written on the poem, to which supernatural power has been ascribed, in Arabic, Persian, Turkish and Berber (cf. R Basset ‘Burda’ in El 2 ). There are also a great many translations into various languages, among’them several into Turkish, some of them anonymous. Our translation and commentary were written by a certain Mehmed b. Halïlwho mentions himself in f. 3a:8. The title occurs on the title page, f. la, and in a label pasted on the outer front board. The Arabic original and its author are mentioned in ff 2b-6-3a-2. No other copy of the terceme seems to be documented. It is preceded by a prose introduction (2b-8a) which appears to be incomplete: it breaks off with a heading of the first fasl in the centre of (the last) page (8a).

The verses alternate with a prose commentary in Arabic by Shaykh ‘ Abd as- Salam b. Idris al-Marakushï (d. 660/1262?), probably his Khawass al-Burda ft bur’ ad-da’ (cf. GAL S I, p. 469). The poem, except for the three additional lines, is accompanied by a versified Turkish translation with the same rhyme by Ziihdi. The name of the translator is not found here, but the first hemistich is identical with that in a copy preserved in the Cairo National Library (Fihrist 930) which contains a prose introduction with the name of the translator and the date of completion: Ramazan 1125 (September/October 1713). The contents are described (on a label on the outer front-cover and on f. 2a) as ‘Kastde-i Burda ma’a t-tercüme ve ‘Abd as-Salam'. Copious marginal and interlinear additions in various hands, among which some Turkish glosses. The colophon (12b) is followed by a tradition in Turkish on Imam Ahmad Mawsulï and the Prophet’s healing powers; it breaks off in the catchword jjl. The following page (13a) contains a number quotations in Arabic, among them
574 ACQUISITIONS OF 1961-9 (Or. 11.752, cont.) statements by Shaykh ‘Abd as-Salam and the Prophet, and afetva. The work is preceded (la-b) by a treatise, of which the beginning seems to be missing, on the paralysis of al-Busïri, which lasted sixteen years, his cure by means of the mantle (bürde) of the Prophet, and the qasïda's 57 supernatural qualities, from extending one’s life to an increase of happiness (ni’met). It is followed (lb-2a) by various annotations, among which pious phrases and quotations from hadith in Arabic a table of the manuscript’s contents, a price of ‘50’, fetvas (in Arabic and Turkish) a note on the birth of ‘Seyyid e§-$enT in Jurjan and his death in Shiraz 816 (1413-4) and a note by an owner declaring that an elephant (or elephants, fit) entered Amasya on Tuesday 29 Safer 1233 (8 January 1819).

575 ACQUISITIONS OF 1961-9 (Or. 11.752, cont.) (3) ff. 13b-26a Fera’iz ^1 > An undated collection of, mostly, tables and schematic models (‘sürat’) of calculations necessary for solving legal problems such as, primarily, the division of inheritances - the term fera ’if is found on a label on the outer front-board and on f. 2a. These range from a series of numbers in decimal blocks (1 to 900,000,000) to complicated problems of land division (in the last case dividing a garden with ponds among a number of men with unequal claims). The schemes and tables are accompanied by summary explanations, partly in Arabic, and chaotic additions in various hands. There are also a number of additional leaves, added later and partly of a different format (between ff. 19 and 20); these contain texts of similar content and, apparently, made by the same writer (copyist). (4-5) ff. 28b-87b el-Cende Jl An early 19th-century copy of a manual on the division of inheritances (fera’it); it is of a similar, but more elaborate and structured, content as (3) and consists mostly of tables, schematic surveys and drawings with additional commentary in Turkish and Arabic, consisting partly offetva quotations (see plate). The title, which is probably not a specific one, is found in the colophon (87b). The work is preceded by an introduction on the principles of hereditary law (28b-31a). It may well be a Turkish version of the Arabic al-Fara’id as-Sirajiya, by Siraj ad- Dtn Muhammad b. Muhammad as-Sajawandl (flourished in last part of the 6th/12th century, cf. GAL I, p. 379, No. 7). Copious marginal additions. Quotations in Arabic from works on fikh as well as a gloss (also in Arabic) on the meaning of the word fara’id are found on the ‘title page’ (28a). Additional leaves of various formats are found between ff. 52-53 (three fetvds, partly with calligraphed signatures, and calculations), 55-56, and 85-86 (quotations from tefsirs and works on fera'iz, with calculations).

The work begins with an introduction in which Seyyid Ahmed, who worked at the fetvd office (emanet-i fetava) under Sultan Selim [HI] (reigned 1203/1786-1222/1807), explains that jeyhuhslam Diimzade Mehmed ‘Arif Efendi (in office during 1200-2/1785-6 and 1206- 13/1792-8) ordered him to bring together ‘new fetvas and rare questions written by the great ? eyhülislams, his predecessors, and by himself, in order jo prevent their dispersion. The work itself is divided into the usual range of books (ki ) devoted to separate questions, from those on canonical ablutions (lb) to those related to landed property (arazi, 201b); the books are further subdivided mto chapters (bab). The text is accompanied by marginal additions (proof text ) consisting of, often lengthy, quotations from various Arabic juristic works, mostly, it seems, by the copyist of the main text. The work is preceded by a five- page survey of contents. Bound in boards covered in blue marbled paper with leather backing; glazed cream paper; the inscription ‘yazma ‘All Efendi’ occurs on the upper edge (D+6 +204 +2 folios, with original numbering; 243x165 mm and 178x78 nun, 23 lines- catchwords; irregular ta‘llk; headings, rubrics, index squares and lines in red- gold borders within black lines; gold dots on the first two pages; a simple headpiece in gold precedes the text; completed by Mustafa el-Mufti in Sivas o the morning of 15 Safer 1233 (25 December 1817).

Cod.Or. 11.800 A miscellany The miscellany is mostly concerned with questions related to the division of estates, the principles by which this is governed under Islamic law, and the arithmetic involved. The four separate parts were copied (written) in 1259-60 (1843-4). We find both neat and more casual neslp scripts but the parts may well all have been done by the same man, Seyyid ‘Osman Fevzfb. ibrahlm Sivrihisan, who worked at a medrese in Bursa and whose name is found in the last colophon (91b). There are quite a few erasures and additions in the same (casual neshi) hand, particularly in (1), which may point to the fact that the manuscript was used by the copyist/writer as a manual for his own use. Some additions, particularly on f. 92b - but the same hand, difficult to distinguish from the nesih of the copyist, may also be found elsewhere in the manuscript - were made by an owner called Hasan Fehmf whose seal is found on the same, last, page (92b). (1) ff. la-8a A collection of of tables and examples in draft form of arithmetical procedures like multiplications and divisions, related to financial transactions, such as, primarily, the division of inheritances, the calculations of tenths of a capital and the conversion of paras into gurus, with explanatory texts.

Three recipes, with lists of ingredients, both in Turkish, for curing various ailments are found on the first flyleaf, verso, and f. la, but are mostly illegible because the pages are partly stuck together. A longer text, written in vowelled nesih also found elsewhere throughout the volume, occurs in (2), ff. 68a-71b. It is headed ‘§erh-i salavüt-i serif. The text contains two prayers (68b-69a and 70a-71a) with commentary explaining the way (how many times) the prayers should be recited and the beneficial results; for the second prayer the commentary is reportedly based on a tradition communicated through Ibn ‘Abbas.

He had travelled from Istanbul to Edime, where he had lodged two nights, and from there to Aydogmu§ (Zomica) where had been hospitably received by ‘our director’, ‘All Beg, and from there on to <djU,JS (Klisakule ?) where he was to succeed his predecessor, Mehmed Efendi.

Prices are cheap, there is plenty of wood around for heating, and plenty of chicken and turkey meat, as well as eggs. He suggests that Rii$dl Efendi come to visit him in spring. The village is at a distance of a two to three hours’ journey from the nearest Muslim village, but it is possible to come by cart from Filibe (Plovdiv). He expresses his hope that a nicer post will come up and conveys his greetings to his family and friends, and hopes that he will soon have visitors.

According to the story, an elderly man (koca) once travelled from the Mountain Qdf where he lived to Medina. There he prayed for the Prophet, fell in love with him and donated 10,000 gold pieces. Thereupon the Prophet gave him the written text of a prayer and the latter hid it in the skullcap under his hat. Later he was involved in a huge battle against the infidels; he killed many of them but he himself was invulnerable. The same appeared true when, after the old man’s death an infidel found the hat, donned it, and could not be killed, not even by Muslims. The problem was solved after God explained to ‘All about the prayer and the hat The latter was able to knock the hat off the infidel’s head and cleave his head in two halves. The angel Jabra’ft later explained to the Prophet that if the prayer was put inside a dead person’s grave, the latter would arrive in the Hereafter in faith.

A work of that title is not documented, nor is the name of the author, who mentions himself in f. 2b:6. The work is preceded by a detailed introduction (lb-4a), including ample praise of the ruling sultan Mehmed [III], and a, rather curious preface in which the author recounts that he had lived in Baghdad where he served the vizier and commander {'server', 2b:7) Mehmed [Pa$a, d. 1014/1605, cf. SO 2 III, p. 1030] as secretary at the fetva office (after he had studied the ‘science of silver’ as much as he could). He often ‘wiped his head in the dust of the graves’ of the great imams and shayks buried in the town, until the vizier asked him to translate a work on the exploits ([menakib-i §ertfe) of the Imam-i A‘zam written and owned by Mehmed b. Mehmed el-Kürdf. This he did, and later, encouraged by his patron, he also nurtured the ambition to translate a work on the life of ‘Abdukadir el-Cflam (also buried in Baghdad) entitled Bahjat al-asrar [by ash-Shattanawfï, cf. GAL II, p. 118, S II, p. 147], He was unable to find a complete manuscript of the work and decided to use other works (mentioned on f. 3b), among them LamiTQelebi’s ‘ïbretnümü and JamT’s Nafahat

(11) ff. 75a-82a Geographical and astronomical tables A series of ten tables (ff. 77b-82a), preceded by an introduction (75a-76b), anonymous. The tables show various characteristics for a ‘hundred’, but actually 98, towns of the seven iklims, that is, the world as it was known from the traditional Islamic geographical manuals (and which excluded Europe almost completely; only Venice is mentioned, on f. 81b), from Istanbul to Süs (Sousse, ‘a town in Berber'). The last table remains incomplete, as is also indicated in a marginal remark on f. 82a. The tables provide information on the number of the ikiim- the number of miles from Istanbul; the longest day (in hours); length and width (in letters); the shortest day (idem); the direction of the kible (in degrees, derece); and astronomical data such like the zenith and equinox. The ‘risale’ was completed in Cemaii l-ahir 931 (March-April 1525). Marginal additions on f. 75a. The introduction begins (75a, after a besmele):

This is the second volume of the catalogue by Jan Schmidt of Turkish manuscripts in Dutch collections. The first volume was published exactly two years earlier. It contains a detailed and up-to-date description of all Turkish manuscript materials that were acquired by Leiden University’s Library in the period from 1800 till 1970. The provenance of the manuscripts described in the present volume is extremely varied. Were Turkish manuscripts in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries still exclusively collected by academic or private scholars, in the nineteenth and twen tieth centuries this pattern has changed entirely. Turkish manuscripts in that period still came to the Netherlands in abundance, but more and more, especially in the twentieth century, as commercial objects, offered for sale by people from many walks of life, and hardly coming from an academic environment anymore. As personalities these vendors are, maybe, less conspicuous than the scholarly giants who had brought together the collections in the first two centuries of the existence of the Leiden Library (founded in 1587), but for the for mation of the collection they are nevertheless of paramount importance and can hardly be underestimated. These shifting patterns cause a different build-up of the collection. In the earlier pe riod, Turkish manuscripts would usually come from Istanbul, but during the period covered by the present volume also manuscripts of a more provincial origin have en tered the library. Among these are, and that is yet another change, numerous manu scripts which illustrate the curriculum of the traditional Anatolian madrasa, which was given in Arabic, though not exclusively. The impressive number of collective volumes with texts in Arabic, Persian and Turkish eloquently illustrates the history of education in the Turkish realm in the pre-modem period. Again, as was the case in the first volume, the catalogue contains descriptions of large collections of letters and documents. In addition, and as a result of the shifting patterns of acquisition, there are manuscripts from beyond the borders of present- day Turkey. Manuscripts from the Caucasus and from Central Asia have found their way to the Leiden Library as well. To sum up: The present volume gives a detailed and up-to-date description of Turkish manuscript materials acquired by the Leiden Library between 1800 and 1970. In this, as in the previous volume, an analysis is given, in addition to the de scriptions of full-text Turkish manuscripts and documents, of the contents of the nu merous notes in Turkish that are found in other manuscripts, containing texts in an other language than Turkish. Never before this had been done, and a massive corpus of shorter and longer texts on an enormous variety of subjects is the result. Was the harvest of details of the daily life of the Turkish owners and readers of manuscripts already promising when such a survey was done for the older collections, in the col lections which are described in the present volume, this trend has conspicuously continued. More than a hundred illustrations give the reader an idea of the visual aspects of Turkish manuscript materials. A detailed index gives the volume the final touch.
