i TABLE OF CONTENTS

PREFACE It was about time that a new catalogue of the Turkish manuscripts in Dutch col lections would appear. The last published catalogue in which all Turkish manu scripts then present in collections in The Netherlands were described appeared in 1877, with the publication of the sixth and final volume of the Catalogus Codi- cum Orientalium Bibliothecae Academiae Lugduno-Batavae (CCO). That vol ume had been prepared by M.Th. Houtsma. It was the successful completion of a cataloguing project which was started by R.P.A. Dozy in as early as 1851, and which saw two other great names as contributors, M.J. de Goeje and P. de Jong. The CCO does not only describe the Turkish manuscripts in the Leiden library and the other Dutch collections, but also the Arabic and Persian ones, plus a hoard of manuscript texts in other languages, mostly from the Christian Orient, together with a few manuscripts from East and South-East Asia. But what was the state of the art in 1877 cannot, now, be considered anymore as an adequate and useful bibliographical tool. The basic material, the manu scripts, have, of course, remained the same, but circumstances of research have changed drastically. A few points of difference between 1877 and now may here be discerned. First there is the language of the CCO. Latin is not easily read anymore, not even among European academics, let alone by non-European students of Oriental lit eratures. English is now the obvious choice as the language for the present cata logue. Secondly there is, inevitably, the progress and expansion of science itself. The advance of bibliography and philology, which catalogues as the Leiden CCO once helped to boost, has now by far surpassed the level of scholarship for which the catalogue was compiled in the period between 1851 and 1877. Both the enormously grown number of researchers, and the cumulative effect of their achievements, have contributed to that. Thirdly, the steady expansion of the Lei den manuscript collections makes the compilation of a new catalogue for the Turkish collection a necessity. Finally, a shift in scholarly attention should be remarked here. Was the primary goal of the older catalogues to mostly cater for the needs of historians, philologists and editors of texts, nowadays other dimen sions of interest have been added to these. Was in former days the content of a text virtually all that mattered, now the scholar’s approach is more balanced and the outward appearance of the manuscripts receives the attention it deserves. In addition to this, ample attention is now given to a feature, which has, al most entirely, been omitted from the earlier catalogues, not just the Leiden cata logues, but virtually all catalogues. The present catalogue contains detailed de scriptions of all sorts of minor notes in the Turkish language, even if they occur in manuscripts which have their main text in a language other than Turkish. As far as I know it is the first time ever that an effort to include such ephemeral ma terials in any manuscript catalogue has been made. A multitude of smaller de tails, useful and practical information of all kinds, plus a great number of textual fragments which were added by the Turkish owners of such manuscripts, have now been analyzed and described.
The organization of this catalogue, by the presentation of the material in order of the accession numbers, offers the reader, for the first time in the history of the Leiden catalogues of Middle Eastern manuscripts, the opportunity to follow the development of the formation of the collection. The Turkish manuscripts are a relatively small entity within the Leiden li brary, but they reflect in several ways the history of the cultural and political re lations between the Netherlands and the Turkish world. The present volume clearly exemplifies this with the description of the Turkish materials which were collected by Levinus Warner, the ardent bibliophile who was, till his death in 1665, ambassador of the Dutch Republic to the Sublime Porte. Part of that col lection must have been brought together by Warner for practical purposes. And although it is difficult to nowadays reconstruct his precise motives for collecting particular pieces, it is evident that some of his manuscripts are of relevance to and an illustration of moments in Turkish-Dutch relations. But also if one looks at the other Turkish manuscripts in the Leiden collections as they are described in this first volume of the catalogue, it becomes clear that there is indeed a cul tural and historical context, within which the coming of Turkish manuscript texts into Dutch collections can be placed. In the present catalogue an effort is being made, in addition to opening up the Turkish manuscript resources for their own sake, to produce the information which brings about a deeper insight in this par ticular dimension of the relations between the Netherlands and the Turkish world. It can hardly be a surprise, therefore, that all these considerations have led, a few years ago, to the plan to compile an up-to-date catalogue of the Turkish manu script heritage as preserved in collections in the Netherlands. It is fortunate that for the compilation of the catalogue the Leiden library could avail itself of the assistance of Dr Jan Schmidt, whose work on Turkish philological and historical subjects is sufficient guarantee for a high quality performance in cataloguing the Dutch collections of Turkish manuscripts. At the same time, the Netherlands Organization of Advanced Research (NWO) decided to fund the research costs of the entire cataloguing project. Its liberal assistance in this matter is herewith gratefully acknowledged. The importance of the technical and administrative infrastructure which the Lei den library was willing to provide for the purpose should not at all be underesti mated. The personal effort of several of the Library’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.
INTRODUCTION The present volume is the first in a series that aims at presenting a new and more detailed description and pictorial presentation of the Turkish manuscripts preserved in Dutch libraries. The most voluminous and valuable collection is found in the Leiden University Library and this, the first, volume covers the manuscripts acquired during the first two centuries of its existence. Leiden University was founded in 1575; the first book, a polyglot Bible in eight volumes, was presented to it in the same year by the stadtholder, Prince William I. The first Oriental manuscripts were acquired from the Scaliger legacy in the early 17th century. In this book, I shall present a series of descriptions of all manuscripts in the library aquired before 1781 that contain Turkish texts. These include quite a number of copies which contain Arabic and Persian texts or which contain them nearly exclusively. This is not surprising: a great number of the manuscripts with texts in these languages were acquired in the Ottoman Empire, in which the upper echelons of culture were occupied by scholars, littérateurs and officials many of whom were equally well versed in Arabic, Persian, and Ottoman-Turkish. Ottoman culture as, indeed, Ottoman Turkish itself, was to a certain extent trilingual. This fact is also reflected by the ubiquity of dictionaries in the three languages in collections of Ottoman manuscripts, the present one not excluded. The sequence of my descriptions reflects their subsequent registration (from Codex Orientalis [Cod.Or.] 1’ onwards) which, in turn, roughly reflects the chronology of their provenance. The old collection has five distinct sub collections, namely those originally gathered by Golius, Scaliger, Warner, Dibbets, and Schultens, all of them, except Dibbets, Oriental scholars. The five chapters which describe their acquisitions for the University Library or (a part of) their former private libraries begin with brief biographies of the five scholars as well as, if known, the provenance and some indication of the value, not in an exclusively economic sense, of the manuscripts they collected. In a way, the collection gives us a good impression of the development of Oriental scholarship in Holland and more directly - this is particularly true for the Turkish collection which contains many documents of a diplomatic and economic nature as well as personal letters - of the developments of Dutch-Ottoman relations during the first two centuries. (Regular diplomatic relations began in 1612.) The descriptions of the individual manuscripts provide the following items: press-mark, title or genre; author (if known); a brief characterization of the contents or a more detailed description if the text under discussion merits it and is not too long; a description of annotations by owners or other additions; a codicological analysis limited to the following observations: binding, paper, watermarks if the manuscript is undated, number of folios/pages (numbers within brackets are endpapers not belonging to the original and the longer numbers refer
to numbered folios/pages), measures of folios/pages and written surface; number of lines, catchwords, writing style, illuminations and illustrations, name of copyist, date of conclusion and earlier owners; and, finally, quotations in Arabic script including first and last lines - interlinear additions are quoted within brackets - as well as (selective) references to catalogues, editions, translations, and literature. Pictures often can tell more than descriptions, and this is particularly true for the widely varied scriptorial styles as well as the occasional drawings and miniatures. The artistry or, on the other hand, deliberate absence of artistry contributes to our understanding of the manuscript in its cultural setting, from, on the one hand a precious objet d’art to be presented to a wealthy patron, or, on the other end of the scale, a wel-thumbed scrapbook of, say, a wandering dervish. In order to show this aspect of the manuscripts as directly a possible, many photographs have been included. This book could not have been written without the support of Dr Jan Just Witkam, curator of the Oriental collections in the Leiden University Library, who initiated the cataloguing project of which this volume is the first fruit and took care that I was not bothered by bureaucratic distractions of any kind. He also gave me invaluable scholarly and practical advice. He also is the editor of the book and is largely responsible for the attractive form in which it appears. My thanks also goes to the Dutch Research Fund, NWO, which provided the necessary funds for financing the project. I am furthermore grateful to Professor Barbara Flemming who acted as scientific supervisor and has been able to advise me on particular questions and allowed me to share her great knowledge of Turkish literature and codicology. Her contribution has been invaluable. Last but not least I am indebted to Thijs Rault who taught me to use and, indeed perfected for me, the computer programme with which the book was written, and to the library staff, Hans van de Velde in particular, who have been more than helpful in finding my way through the labyrinth of bookshelves.

1 I. The Golius Collection Jacob Gool (Golius, 1596-1667) was Professor of Oriental Languages and Mathematics at Leiden University. After he had concluded his studies in Leiden, he spent two years (1622-4) in Morocco, where he was attached to the Dutch legation as an engineer and bought his first manuscripts. Soon after his appointment as professor in Leiden in 1625, he travelled to Aleppo where he was employed as Chancellor at the Dutch Consulate, but also spent some time travelling and purchasing manuscripts in commission for the university. Later, in 1627, he moved on to Istanbul, where he stayed as a guest of the first envoy to the Porte, Comelis Haga, and was able to acquire more manuscripts. After his return to Holland, in 1629, he acquired a few more manuscripts, either by purchasing them or by having works copied by his copyists Nicolaus Petri, Shahin Kandi, both Christians from Aleppo, and a certain Hakverdi, of Persian origin. Golius’s student and Dutch envoy at the Porte, Levinus Warner, and Nicolaus Petri (who travelled to Istanbul in 1647) also assisted in the acquisition of manuscripts (see also Chapter 3). In one Turkish manuscript, Cod.Or. 148, we find traces of the aforementioned copyists’ work. Another manuscript, Cod.Or. 1183, was copied by Shahin Kandi in Leiden in 1662. When Golius died, he had acquired 211 manuscripts for the University Library, mostly in Arabic, which are now labelled Cods.Or. 1-211. These were first described by himself in a catalogue published in 1640. Apart from his purchases for the Library, Golius bought at least twice as many for his private collection. These were sold by his heirs at a public auction on 16 October 1696 (cf. Catalogus)-, nearly all of these are now kept in the Bodleian Library at Oxford. Curiously, one of his manuscripts, Cod.Or. 1280, was bought more than a century later by the Library from the estate of Jan Jacob Schultens (see Chapter 5). Another one, Or. 1628, was acquired during the 1840s and more copies were purchased in 1888 (Cods.Or. 3080 and 30830). We know little about Golius’s purchasing policies or what he did with the manuscripts, but we are informed about a few specific cases by letters which have survived in the Leiden Cod.Or. 1228 and the John Rylands University Library (Manchester) MS Persian 913. There is, however, only one reference to a Turkish work in a letter by Shahin Kandi to his relatives in Aleppo written in January 1666 (preserved in the Manchester manuscript), namely the rhymed Persian-Turkish dictionary by Ni'metullah, a copy of which is in the collection (Cod.Or. 164). In the same passage, Kandi wrote that Golius was working on a Turkish-Latin dictionary. It was never published, but the manuscript is now in the Bodleian Library (MS Marsh 193). This explains Golius’s interest in lexicography: of the five Turkish manuscripts acquired by Golius for the University Library -1 do not refer here to the manuscripts that only contain brief fragments in Turkish - three are dictionaries.

Witkam, Jacobus Golius (1596-1667) en zijn handschriften (Leiden 1980); Jan Schmidt, ‘Heyman Papers’. Cod.Or. 2k Two annotations in Turkish The manuscript contains a copy, based on an autograph, of a volume of an encyclopaedia in Arabic called Nihayat al-arab flfumni l-adab by an-Nuwayn (d. 732/1332; Voorhoeve, p. 253; GAL II, p. 140 and S II, p. 173). Owners’ inscriptions of Shaykh Mehmed b. Mehmed b. ‘Abdullah known as Beha’üddTnzade occur in f. lb; on the same page is a note in Turkish, partly obliterated by worm holes: ‘j.i«jj jUx. ..’. Another, equally incomprehensible, note without diacritical dots in the same hand is found on the recto side of the last flyleaf: ^ Ujj» [*] JL. ^ [«] j-.--., ^I 4.0/ [$]*. Cod.Or. 40 A geography in tabular form with maps The undated and incomplete copy is, according to a label pasted on the inside of the front board, attributed to a certain Necmf Beg b. KazI Ma'rQf (see plate). He might be identical with the famous astronomer Taklyiiddm Mehmed b. Ma'rflf (d. 993/1585), a number of whose manuscripts were acquired by Golius (cf. A. Sfiheyl Onver, Istanbul rasathanesi (Ankara 1969), pp. 103-4). According to the same label, the contents consist of an anthology of translated parts of the famous geography Taqwim al-Buldan by Abu 1-Fida (d. 732/1331), well known among the Ottomans. (See for this work and its Turkish translations H.A.R. Gibb, ‘Abü al-Fida’ in EP and Taeschner, ‘Geographische Literatur’, pp. 51 ff.) If he was not

A page from an incomplete geography with entries on some geographic features, mostly rivers, of Central Asia with a map of Oman and the south coast of Persia, with the island of Hormuz in between.
5 THE GOLIUS COLLECTION (Or. 40, cont.) simply the owner, Necmi Beg might have been the translator, or more likely the copyist and/or compiler, of a previous Turkish translation or elaboration of the work - although the tabular format is similar to that of the Taqwim, comparison of the Turkish text with Reinaud and Slane’s edition (Géographie d’ Aboulféda. Texte arabe, Paris 1840) does not seem to reveal much resemblance. There are entries in the Turkish text which do not occur in the edition; entries with a description of some cities which are found in both texts, on the other hand, are completely different. The work is unfinished and the manuscript has a great number of empty or partly empty pages and unfinished rubrics. The ordering of the materials (see below) also suggests that the manuscript is, at least partly, incorrectly bound. Some pages, on the other hand, are densely written and contain lengthy marginal rectifications and additions. The geographical areas whose towns, and to a lesser extent, rivers and other geographical phenomena are described, are western India with Transoxania and Turkestan (pp. 1-3, 4-7, 10-2, 14-7, 19); the Maghrib (pp. 34, 36-41); Andalucia (pp. 42-3); Egypt (only Cairo, p. 44); Syria (p. 64, an incomplete part on mountains without heading; p. 65); Khorasan (pp. 66-7, without heading); Europe, mostly French towns and rivers (pp. 69-88, 91); Spain north of Andalucia (pp. 92-99); Portugal (only Lisbon, p. 101); Andalucia (pp. 103-4, 106-13); Castile (pp. 114-5); Süs (p. 116); Maghrib (p. 121); Hijaz (pp. 123-6)- Yemen (pp. 129-37). The work contains six maps drawn either over or within the previously-drawn rubrics, or on a separate sheet bound in the MS. They are, according to modem convention, drawn ‘up-side down’: north is towards the bottom of the page, south towards the top. They depict the contours (coastline), towns, rivers, and mountains of (1) Morocco (second p. 41, 120x115 mm); (2) Upper Egypt (between pp. 63-4, 310x215 mm); (3) Oman and the south coast of Persia (p. 67, 130x90 mm, see plate); the Arabian Peninsula (p. 122, approximately 170x150 mm, see plate); (5) Hijaz (p. 128, 205x125 mm); Yemen (p. 138, 205x125 mm, only some towns, without contours). Rebound in reddish-brown boards with leather back; glazed cream paper, slight damage on right and lower edges from p. 122 onwards; 140 pages, numbered in pencil (p. 41 occurs twice), as well as two unnumbered original flyleaves; 270x180 mm and 205x125 mm; no catchwords; small, rather careless, ta'ltk; red rubrics of varying format on most pages; headings and captions in red; without date or name of copyist; illegible owner’s seal in the margin of p. 1.

It commences with an introductory mesnevi 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 nazire to the Tuhfe-i Husami (of 802/1399). He also expresses his hope that the work will be helpful to children for 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 verse, the author explains the numerical value of Arabic letters The year 931 (1524-5) occurs in the margin of f. 27b.

The translation seems to be similar to that found in the Berlin manuscript Ms. or. oct. 2040 (cf. Götz II, 75) which was completed in 925/1519 and dedicated to Sultan Selim I; the translator’s preface in which this is mentioned is lacking in our manuscript. The work consists of an introduction (2b-3b) followed by a survey of Haneff fikh divided up into a great number of chapters (bob) devoted to separate subjects, from canonical purification (tahara) to the status of hermaphrodites (khuntha). It is followed by another folio with a similar bilingual text fragment probably from the same work (232a). A few marginal corrections and additions.

Mübarek er-Rünu, also known as ‘öalïl Süff’, a scholar who died in 969 (1561). The manuscript is dated 1547 (see plate), which precedes the (possible) autograph Cod.Or. 164 by more than twelve years, gives the impression of being in the draft phase. It was copied by a man called ‘All, possibly a clerk who worked for the author. The text begins (on f. lb) with the chapter heading ‘ -* —j~cJlWI «—»L’ (see plate). There is no introductory part (as in Cod.Or. 164) and the second chapter (on particles and inflection) is lacking. The first chapter (on infinitives) is found in ff. la-24b; the third (on nouns) in ff. 24b-153a. At the bottom of the colophon page is written "2400 voces" ; an original note in Latin on the dating of the manuscript is pasted on the first back flyleaf; we also find here a few Greek glosses and a transcription of what seems to be an opening phrase of an official Turkish letter; a, partly pictorial, riddle (‘mu'amma’) attributed to a certain ‘Alï b. Haccf ‘Osman on f. la; pencil strokes and glosses in Arabic script and Latin as in Cod.Or. 164 (see above). (For other copies, see Cods.Or. 164, above, and Or. 684(1) and 925, below.)

42 THE SCALIGER COLLECTION (Or. 261, cont.)
43 3. The Warner collection Levinus (Lieven) Warner (1619-65), a native of the German principality of Lippe, came to Leiden in 1638 where he studied Theology and Oriental Languages, and was taught by such scholars as Golius. He left Leiden in 1644 and travelled to Istanbul where he was informally connected to the Dutch Embassy under the envoys {'orators') Hendrik Cops and, from 1647, Nicolo Gisbrechti (Nicolaas Ghysbrechtsz), a merchant in whose house he lodged. When Gisbrechti died in 1654, Warner succeeded him as 'resident'. Before that, he had already sent reports to the States-General at The Hague on his own initiative. Meanwhile, in 1648, he had been offered a professorship in Hebrew. This he did not accept but instead, he obtained a travel allowance of 300 guilders for a research journey to Syria. Despite his uncertain financial situation, from the outset Warner dedicated most of his time to the study of religion and languages, among them Turkish, and the acquisition of manuscripts which he already seems to have begun doing in Holland. According to annotations found in some manuscripts, prices varied between 100 and 800 silver aspers (akge). His theological interest also motivated him to co-operate, with Golius in Leiden, in a project for translating the Bible into Turkish. The actual translation work was done by two dragomans of Warner’s acquaintance: ‘All Beg Bobowski and a certain Hakl, and although the work was not published at the time, manuscripts of the work have survived in both the Leiden and Amsterdam University libraries (see below under Cods.Or. 386, 390 391, 1101 and 1117(a).) Warner died in 1665 and left his manuscripts and books to the Leiden University. The gift comprised about a thousand manuscripts, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish, which were later labelled Cods.Or. 269- 1182 and 4739-4814. Some manuscripts with these press-marks, or parts of them, do not belong to the legacy and somehow must have found their way into the collection at a later period, cf. Cods.Or. 1068 and 1122 (f. 22). The manuscripts and books were shipped to Holland between 1669 and 1673. Some of the manuscripts, about sixty in number, were received by the Amsterdam merchant Philippo Serrurier who, it soon turned out, was reluctant to part with them. During the ensuing lawsuit, the notary Johannes van Hell was engaged to makp an inventory. During this procedure, he wote his name in the manuscripts (see under Cod.Or. 309 and following). Upon arrival in Leiden, the legacy was kept in a separate cupboard in the Library. The manuscripts were at some time provided with a bookplate with the text Ex Legato Viri Ampliss. LEVINI WARNERI. Warner acquired his collection through local intermediaries, scholars, and copyists as is clear from the letters preserved in Leiden and Manchester (cf. the introduction to Chapter 1). An important figure among these was Nicolaus Petri formerly m Golius’s service, who travelled to Istanbul in 1647 but remained in
44 contact with his former patron for whom he also acquired manuscripts. In Istanbul, Petri did copy work for his patron as is clear from, often only brief passages, in his handwriting found in a number of manuscripts (see the Index). Warner was more than a mere book collector, he was a scholar with a lively interest in the texts he bought. He studied them and used them for his writings. The results are part of the legacy: it contains a number of manuscripts partly or wholly in his own hand with texts and scholarly annotations in Latin, Turkish and other languages as well as drafts of monographs that have never been published (Cods.Or. 382, 383, 384, 385, 1117(b), 1119, 1130, 1157b, 1159, 1161, 1167, 1170, 1171 and 1180). There are also manuscripts with original and copied letters, of both a private and public nature (Cods.Or. 1122 and 1163). On the whole, the Turkish manuscripts acquired by Warner are of great interest. They comprise an autograph (Cod.Or. 432) and quite a few copies that date back, partly or completely, to the period of origin or lifetime of the writers (Cods.Or. 327, 602, 672, 694, 855 and 949), among them contemporaries (Cods.Or. 290, 625, 728, 730, 879, 894, 898, 917 and 1110), were unique (Cods.Or. 498, 517, 728, 801, 1088, 1090, 1096, 1110, 1143, 1155 and 1175), had unique parts (Cods.Or. 285, 288, 305, 451, 500, 841, 917 and 891), were rare or had rare parts (Cods.Or. 309, 333, 662, 697, 730, 765, 835, 870, 898, 917, 923 and 1087 - 1129(G) contains a rare text in Hebrew script), or had belonged to libraries of famous patrons of the arts or writers like $eyhiilisldm Sa'duddfn (Cod.Or. 277), the Chief White Eunuch Gazanfer Aga (Cod.Or. 333), the biographer and poet Nev'izade ‘Ata’I (Cod.Or. 448) and the historian Hasan Begzade (Cod.Or. 703). Two manuscripts had belonged to a kOzT'asker of Anatolia and Rumelia, Ebülfazl Mahmüd Kara £elebizade (Cods.Or. 895, 961). Another one had been copied for the translator of many Persian works, §emT Efendi, and was later owned by an, alas unidentifiable, official of high rank who left his ‘tailed’ signature on the title page (Cod.Or. 925). Other manuscripts are known to have belonged to the libray of his contemporary, the polymath and historian Katib £elebi (see under Cod.Or. 1122), who in turn also acquired at least one manuscript from the estate of the aforementioned Kara Qelebizade (see under Cod.Or. 1109). One manuscript, finally, contains the tugra of, possibly, Sultan Murad IV and might have belonged to a dynastic library (Cod.Or. 697).

A incomplete and undated copy of a collection of official letters compiled by Feridun Ahmed Beg (d. 991/1583), an important Ottoman official who held the prestigious posts of re fsiilkiittdb and ni§anci. The author and title are not mentioned in the MS. The collection, one of the most famous in$a works of Ottoman literature, contains mostly official letters written or received by Ottoman Sultans; among these were also, for the more contemporary period, the authorized reports on military campaigns (fethnames and others). Letters belonging to reigns of the Sultans ‘Osman and Orban have proved to be unauthentic. We find, subsequently, the correspondence of the Prophet and early Caliphs, including Husayn and A’isha (from lb, in Arabic) and Ottoman sultans from ‘Osman (from 14b) to Siileyman the Magnificent (ruled 926/1520 - 974/1566, from f. 269b), ending with the letters exchanged between that Sultan and the Safavid ruler Shah Jahmasp (ruled 907/1501 - 930/1524). A small part of the Ottoman correspondence is written in Persian. The manuscript roughly covers the first volume of the printed edition; a number of letters found in this edition are not found in the manuscript and letters are also somewhat differently arranged in our copy. A few marginal additions are found, most elaborate in f. 102b (partly cut

49 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 285, cont.) works in Persian attributed to Baha ad-Dih Muhammad b. al-Mu’ayyad al- Baghdadl, head of the Correspondence Office (Diwan al-insha’) of the Kh w arazm- Shah Takash (ruled 567/1172 - 596/1200). The first work, a collection of letters entitled at-Tawassul ila t-tarassul (ff. lb-54b), is rare (edited by Ahmad Bahmanyar, Tehran 1315 - more likely the title is Rawdat al-kuttab wa hadiqat al-albab and the author Abü Bakr b. Zakl al-Qonawf al-Mutatabbib, cf. Ali Sevim in Tarih Vesikalan, new series I [1961], p. 401), the second, a letter to Shihab ad-Dïn of Kh w arazm with the title ar-Risalat al-habsiya (ff. 54b-62a) and dated early Receb 850 (22 September - 1 November 1446), unique (cf. CCO 287-8 (I, pp. 172-3;) Storey III/1, pp. 240-1). The third part contains letters in both Persian and Turkish: (3) ff. 62b-79b A collection of Arabic, Persian and Turkish letters The work consists mostly (ff. 62b-74b) of Persian letters, written by or addressed to Ottoman officials, including the sultan, during, principally, the reign of Sultan Murad I (761/1360 - 791/1389). The title is given on the recto side of the first flyleaf as Insha-i Hakim Senayf, which does not seem to make sense and to which I have found no references. Added to this is the remark that there is also Turkish epistolary prose (injd) addressed to the Ottoman dynasty. The collection seems to be unique and is important because it contains texts on the sparsely documented early period of Ottoman history but has so far escaped the attention of scholars (cf. on early Ottoman tnja works, see J. Matuz, ‘Über die Epistolographie und Insa’-Literatur der Osmanen’, inZDMG, Suppl. 1/2, pp. 574-94, esp. p. 581; see also H.R. Roemer, ‘Insha’, in El 1 ). The incipits of the letters are printed in CCO. The first two items probably do not belong to the collection: they are written in a different script and on the pages of an incomplete quire pasted against f. 65a; nor does the catchword in f. 64b fit. These are: 62a-64a. Shah Mansür-i Shirazf to Toktanu§ Khan (Shah Mansür of Shiraz, died 795/1393; Giyasüddïn Toktami§, a "White Horde Khan", ruled in the eastern part of the De§t-i Kipgak, 778/1376- 7 - 799/1396-7, cf. Zambaur, p. 246); 64a-b. A fragment of a letter of condolence from Mahmüd £elebi and Sinan£elebi (cf. 64a:29-30) in Arabic with quotations of Persian verse.

On the recto-side of the first flyleaf occur lengthy quotations from Persian historical and astrological texts as well as the titles of the three works contained in the MS. The title and author of the first work are written in f. la, where we also find a verse by Abü Nuwas. In the margins of f. 80b and the inner back- board we find various quotations from Persian texts, mostly chronological data with mention of years - the historian Nasfr ad-Dfn Tüsï is mentioned in 80b - and chronograms referring to, among other events, the death of Timur and $ahrub. A recipe for medicinal powder (sqfuf = sefuf), elsewhere on the page explained in a different hand as "superb powder" (safüf-i a‘ld) with a list of ingredients and indications of weight in drams, occurs on the inner back-board. A few notes occur in the margins of the text.

Ahmed b. ‘Abdullah (d. 1008/1600) who wrote under the pen-name of ‘All. The MS - the title and name of the author are written on f. la - is one of the earliest known copies of the fourth volume (riikn, ‘pillar’) of one of the most important 16th-century Ottoman histories, many copies (about a hundred) of, mostly, parts of which have survived. It consists of a lengthy introductory part, including an author’s preface (ff. lb-17b), and a chronological treatment of the reigns of the sultans, from Osman (from f. 17b) to Murad III (ruled 982/1574 - 1003/1575). The texts breaks off in the 20th ‘event’ of that reign which describes the Shirwan campaign of 990-1 (1582-3). The chapters are followed by lengthy biographical sections. Fuller versions of the history continue into the reign of Mehmed III (ruled 1003/1595 - 1012/1603). A section consisting of about 25 quires is missing between ff. 303b-304a, covering a part of the biogaphies of ‘ulema of the reign of Sultan Bayezfd II to the last part

The work, which is confusingly arranged because of incorrect binding, begins with an introduction on chronology and the various systems of time-reckoning (lb-7a). The main part of the work consists of a survey comparing chronological systems (7b); a chronological survey of events from the creation of Adam (year one) to the hijra in 6216 (8a-17b); a survey of events (in Persian) from the hijra up until 1060 (1650) (18a-72a; 47b-48b are blank); a list of (non-Islamic) ‘sultans and kings’ (73a-b, cf. the printed edition, pp. 158-60); a part of the list of (Ottoman) kazï'askers of Rumeli, from Molla Kastelanf to ‘Abdulfcamse Efendi (74a); a part of the survey of, reputedly, Islamic dynasties, from the al-i Ilyas to the al-i Keyümers_ (75a-78b); a list of Ottoman sultans, from ‘Osman to ibrahfm (79a, see plate); a part of the list of (Ottoman) grand viziers, from ‘Ala’uddïn ‘All Pa§a to Mehmed Pa§a (the last rubric boxes are left blank, 79b-80a); a part of the list of (Ottoman) feyhiilislams (from (Jizir b. Celil to ‘AzTz Efendi; the last rubric boxes are left blank, 80b); a list of the Caliphs (Abü Bakr to ‘All, 81a); a part of the survey of Islamic rulers (the Umayyads to Ziyadids, 81a-b); a part of the list of (Ottoman) kdzfaskers of Rumeli, from Kazlzade Efendi to ‘Abdulhayy Efendi; the last rubric boxes are blank, 82a-b); (Ottoman) kazi'askers of Anatolia (Haccf Hasanzade to Bostanzade Mustafa Efendi, 83a); kOzis of Istanbul (the last rubric boxes are blank, 83b-84); an epilogue (hatime, 85-87a). It is, curiously, followed by a list of governors (valfs) of Egypt, without further data, from tjayirbay ftjayr Beg) to $ah Gazf Pa§a (87b, cf. the printed edition p.218 ff.). Lists of other Ottoman functionaries, such as nukaba-yi e^raf, and Sultans’ höcas, that occur in fuller versions, are lacking. There are many erasures with marginal corrections and additions; crosses, obliterated afterwards, and strokes in pencil both in the text and margins, with a few glosses, in ff. 62b-72a; a remark in Dutch on currency (?) occurs in f. la. Rebound in marbled boards with leather backing; glazed white to cream paper;

The work begins with three chapters (fusüt) with a version of the Ottoman penal code, treating consumption of wine, theft and calumny; fornication; and mutual abuse and killing (lb-3a; these are quite similar to the text in Heyd, Studies, the Ottoman text of the Criminal Code, respectively nos. 61, 1 and 36, ff.).

66 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 309, cont.) An undated copy of an anonymous description of the circumcision festivities of 990 (1582). Written in prose alternated by many verses, it is one of the first in its genre - Mustafa ‘AIT (see under Cod.Or. 288, above) wrote a rhymed description of the same events. Only four copies, including the present one, have survived. The festivities, the grandest in Ottoman history and consisting of parades, performances by jugglers, magicians and others as well as shows such as skirmishes and sea battles were organised on the occasion of the circumcision of Prince Mehmed (the later Sultan Mehmed III), son of Sultan Murad III between 6 June and 16 July 1582. In the introduction (lb-17b), the anonymous author explains that he was bom in Fo?a (Foca in modem Herzegovina, 4a) and had been appointed as secretary of the DTvan-i hümayün thanks to the patronage of the doganciba^i (chief falconer) Hasan Aga three years previously. He was commissioned to write the official surname by imperial ferman (5a). After a paragraph on the painter (nakka§) ‘Osman (who produced the 437 miniatures in the famous Topkapi Sarayi Library MS Hazine 1344, 6b), an excuse (i'tiiar) by the author (7a), and following paragraphs concerning preparations, the main work commences on f. 17b with the events of the first day (see plate). The last day discussed, 22 Cem&iï l-ahir (14 July), is found in ff. 165b-169a, and ends with a paragraph on the performance of huffaz who recited passages from the Koran. A few marginal additions. Bound in boards covered in marbled paper, with flap and brown leather backing; glazed white paper; 1 +169+(1) folios; 295x180 mm and 225x105 mm; 25 lines; catchwords; neat nesih; red borders; red headings, rubrics and triple dots; without date and name of copyist; inscription of Van Hell (la); ex legato plate on the same page.

Cod.Or. 333 Tevariti-i Sultan Selim Han jL»- f-J-* jUaluj jy An undated copy of a history of Sultan Selïm II and the events of his reign by the poet and kazi'asker of Anatolia, Mehmed Vusülï (d. 998/1590). Only one other manuscript seems to have survived; it is preserved in the Vienna National Library as MS H.O. 60 -, The work, whose title is not found in the manuscript, is written in a highly elaborate prose alternating with poems in Turkish and Persian by the author. The latter’s pen-name is found in some kasides in the work, as in ff. 15a:9, 23a:9 and 97b:5. The history consists of an introductory part (lb-21b) and a chronological description of Selim’s career and the main events of his reign. In the introductory paragraphs, the author gives a few autobiographical details, without however mentioning his name; thus he writes that he was bom and educated in Istanbul (15a); his father was a "free man and son of a sipahi (15b). The author himself followed a career as a ‘alim (ibidem) and became preceptor to the prince, whose life he has described in this book (16a). Later he was appointed to, among other functions, kOziof Istanbul (69a). The main part begins in f. 21b with Selim’s own birth and those of his half-brothers. Following chapters treat the early career of the prince and the political events of the last years of the reign of Sultan Süleyman, including the struggle between Selim and his brother Bayezfd (43a, cf. above, under Cod.Or. 305(5)); Selim’s accession to the throne (65a); the Cyprus campaign (from 71b); the expedition under Sinan Pa§a against Halkulvad (La Golette, 81b); Selim’s death (96a); and the accession of Murad III (in 982/1574, 98a); the work ends with an epilogue in verse (hatime, 99a).

Catalogue entry: CCO 2411 (V, pp. 110-1). Cod.Or. 383 A collection of Turkish proverbs with annotations The collection comprises hundreds of proverbs gathered by Levinus Warner - entries sometimes come in rhymed couplets - with translations into Latin and various glosses written haphazardly around the Turkish phrases. These entries are arranged in numbered series and (roughly) according to motifs (such as animals occurring in the expressions), relatively neatly in ff. 1-26, but wider apart (and unnumbered) after f. 26. It obviously is an incomplete draft written on loose sheets of paper of various format somewhat arbitrarily bound together afterwards The Turkish entries are in the handwriting of Nikolaus Petri (cf. introduction to this chapter and Index), the glosses were added by Warner himself. The work was never published, but there is a neat draft of a similar collection gathered by Warner in the John Rylands Library (Manchester) in a late-18th century copy (Schmidt P 141). A part of a model letter in Arabic addressed to the hakimbasi (chief physician) Salih Efendi occurs (upside down) in f. 126b.

Juynboll, Beoefenaars, p. 229); the notes are written on hundreds of partly bound sheets of white paper, measuring approximately 320x220 mm; these are mostly concerned with geographical data and contain a few short quotations in Turkish, among these we find, for instance, an etymological explanation of Shadirwan and a note on the language of Transoxania. The collection also contains loose sheets and bound quires of a draft lexicon, including place names and, particularly, names of plants and animals, with explanations in Turkish. There is also notebook bound in soft cardboard covered in varicoloured marbled paper and with a leather backing of the same format; most pages in it are left blank. Among the Turkish texts of the notebook there is, notably, a draft petition addressed to the Porte with the request to instruct the wine commissioner (hamr emini, cf. Gibb-Bowen I/ii, p. 27) to allow the usual free import of 7000 medre (mitre, equal to 10-12 litres) of wine destined for the Dutch envoy annually (five lines in Petri’s handwriting, inner front board). Towards the end of the notebook there are a few pages with copies of official correspondence, likewise in the handwriting of Nicolaus Petri: an order issued by the Sultan (emr-i serif) on the request of Warner and addressed to the governor of the Morea (Peloponnese) instructing him to respect the rights of Dutch traders visiting his province, dated 27 Zf l-ka'de 1071 (24 July 1661); a similar letter addressed to the janissary commander of Agnboz (Khalkis); a similar letter to the toil of Agnboz (Khalkis), signed by Mehmed el-EmTn, toiVasker of Rumelia; three copies of a similar letter addressed to the tozis of Athens, Agnboz and inebolt, dated the last days of Zf 1-ka‘de 1071 (18-27 July 1661); two copies of an emr-i serif on the same subject

Catalogue entry: CCO 2414 (V, p. 111). Cod.Or. 386 Translation of a part of the Bible The translation was made by Yahya b. ishak, also known as tJakT, who flourished c. 1659. The identity of the translator is marked in a colophon in f. 128b, where it is written that the "fifth book” of the Pentateuch was completed on 15 April 1659 (for a similar colophon, see Cod.Or. 391a, below; for a bill in his handwriting, see Cod.Or. 1122, f. 35, below), «aki, probably a dragoman connected to the Istanbul court and/or the European embassies in Istanbul, was commissioned by Warner, or indirectly, through ‘AliUfkTBeg (cf. below, under Cod.Or. 390), to produce the translation. Golius was, through his brother Petrus, a missionary active in the Middle East, involved in the translation work as corrector (cf. Neudecker, Bible Translation, pp. 366-7, 377, 381-2). The work consists of the following books of the Old Testament: the Pentateuch (la); Exodus (34a); Numbers (80a); Deuteronomy (110a); Joshua (130a); Judges’(141a); Samuel (152b); and Kings (182a). The text breaks off (in 189b) in 1 Kings 9:9. Red pencil strokes in text and margins (up until f. 48), the same in black from f. 49; a few marginal and textual corrections in the same nesih hand; a gloss in Hebrew script in the margin of f. 116a; the word jus occurs in if. 48a and 49b. Bound in boards, with light brown leather backing; (unglazed) white paper (1)+189+(1) folios; 300x210 mm, varying (1-8, 13-32), 310x210 mm, varying (9-12, 33-186); text surface 260x130, varying (the large folios), 240x115 mm (small folios); catchwords; neat nesih (la-91a, 104b:6-188b) in the handwriting of Nicolaus Petri (cf. the introduction to this chapter and Index, see also plate) and ta'lik (93a-104b:6); without date and name of copyist; an ex legato plate is pasted on f. 188b.

In a letter to Warner of 24 December 1662, Petraeus mentions that he had had printed "a small specimen" from Isaiah 19 of the Turkish Bible translation based on the original, but that he had made some changes in the text after consultation with an Arab living at Leiden who knew Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Armenian, and Italian". The Arab must have been Nicolaus Petri who was employed by Golius as a copyist (see on him the introduction to this chapter and Index; the letter is printed in M.M Kleerkooper & W.P van Stockum Jr., De boekhandel te Amsterdam voornamelijk in de 17e eeuw II (The Hague 1914-6), pp. 1236-7; for a concise biography of Petraeus, see the article by Else Pauly inDansk BiografiskLeksikon 11 (Copenhagen 1982), pp. A sheet of white paper, printed on both sides with Arabic type; above the text on the recto side is printed an ornamental bar with lace motif; 195x160mm. Donated by the Amsterdam University Library on 20 August 1962 and sent per registered post to Leiden (cf. the included letter and the original envelope in which the proof is still kept).

The name of the author is mentioned in f. lb:2. The original Arabic work, which bore the title Tuhfat al-aribJTr-radd ‘ala ahl as-salïb (cf. f. 5b:5-6; cf. Voorhoeve, p. 382), was written in 823 (1420). The author was a renegade and Franciscan monk of Mallorca called Anselmo Turmeda. He was bom in 1352. After he had travelled to Tunis in 1387, he remained there as a guest of some local (Christian) troops and merchants for four months. Thereupon he was introduced to the Court by the Sultan’s private physician called Yüsuf. He embraced Islam, married a daughter of al-Hajj Muhammad as-Saffar and was appointed official, later director, at the Dar al- mukhtass (the Bureau of Monopolies) with a salary of four dinar per day (cf. f. 17b). After five months he was given a post of inspector in the Tunis Customs Office (explained in Turkish as ‘iskele dTvamnda muta'allik olan emanetiniin emfni), where he also served as dragoman; in this way, according to himself, within a year he became fluent in Arabic (17b-18a). He died between 1424 and 1432 (cf. introduction to De Epalza’s edition and the article in Enciclopedia Universal Ilustrada Europeo-Americana LXV, Madrid 1981). The title here given appears on the (unnumbered) title page (see also below). The work consists of a preface in Arabic by the translator in which, among other filings, the work is dedicated to Sultan Ahmed I (lb-2b; see also plate). He also informs us that he was called Mehmed b. §a‘ban, who came from Ma‘arrat an- Nu‘man (in Syria, 2b: 13; see also the colophon). The translator’s preface is followed by the work itself which consists of Arabic sentences or longer passages of the original in red alternating with their Turkish translations in black ink. It comprises an introduction ending with a description of contents (the Arabic sentences are printed in CCO) (2b-12b) and three chapters (fast), the first two of which (12b-30b) are autobiographical; the second (17b-30b) is largely dedicated to a description of the government of his patron, the Hafsid ruler Abü Faris ‘Abd al-‘Aziz (ruled 796/1394 - 837/1434). The work is preceded by a detailed index in Arabic by the translator (fihrist, two pages); two pages (verso side of fourth and recto side of fifth leaf) with a text written by the Tunesian Shaykh as-Sïdï Abü 1-Ghayth b. Muhammad al-Qashshash (in Kufic script, dated late Zil-hicce
108 Cod.Or. 432, f. lb. The opening page of an early 17th-century autograph copy of a bilingual, Arabic-Turkish, version of a refutation of Christianity named Tuhfet el-esrar by ‘Abd Allah at-Tarjuman (formerly Anselmo Turmeda of Mallorca) which begins with a preface by the translator.
109 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 432, cont.) 1012/20-9 May 1604; see plate), preceded by an introduction in Turkish and followed by a transcription in ta'ltk, both by the translator; in it the shaykh declares that he had edited the text of the book before it was to be offered to Sultan Ahmed and proposes a new title (namely, that of the bi-lingual version quoted above.) De Epalza suggests that the Leiden manuscript could have been the copy sent to Istanbul as a present to the Sultan, but does not know how to explain Warner’s acquisition of it. It seems to me doubtful that the manuscript ever entered the Sultan s library; there is no trace of a vakf inscription, seal or tugro stamp in it, nor are there indications that leaves have been removed. No copy of the work has survived in the Topkapi Palace Library; about a century later, however, another, illuminated, copy of the bi-lingual version was offered to Sultan Mustafa II who, subsequently, donated it to the Hamidiye Library (cf. De Epalza’s study p. 50.) Bound in black leather with gold and red tooled insets in Oriental fashion; glazed whitepaper; 6+124+2 folios, numbered by the copyist; 245x145 mm and 170x85 mm; (main work) 19 lines; catchwords; calligraphic sülüs in black and gold (title, second flyleaf, recto); fine ta'ltk (introductory parts and colophons), bold kufic (see above) and calligraphic nesih (main work); a magnificent headpiece with floral motifs in blue, gold, red and pink occurs in f. la (see plate); gold borders within black lines; quotations in gold (up to 2a and in 124b) and red; dots in gold; headings, rubrics and lines in red; the copy was concluded at Tunis during the final days of Zi l-hicce 1012 (20-9 May 1604) by the translator Mehmed b. §a‘ban; an ex legato plate is pasted on the title page {recto side of second flyleaf).

112 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 442. cont., 447, 448) Cod.Or. 448 Humayün-name UJri L*- 4 An undated copy of a Turkish version of the stories of Kaffla and Dimna by ‘AIT b. Salih, also known as ‘AIT Celebi or Vasi‘ ‘AlTsi (d. 950/1543-4). It is preceded by a lengthy introduction with abundant praise of Sultan Siileyman the Magnificent. In its preface section, the author, who does not give his name, relates the history of the story collection and explains that he translated the version entitled Anwdr-i Su.ha.yliby Husayn Wa‘iz al-KashifT (d. 910/1504-5). He did the work in his spare time while he was moderns in Edime (3a-4a). The author worked for twenty years on the translation but, when he offered the work to Grand Vizier LutfT Pa§a, the latter contemptuously refused, proclaiming that it had all been a waste of time. The sultan, however, was able to recognize the stylistic merits of the work and promoted the author to kdziof Bursa (cf. Schmidt, Pure Water, p. 258). The main part of the work is divided into fourteen chapters;

114 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 448, cont.) the first begins in f. 24a, the last, fourteenth, begins in f. 219b. An incomplete fragment (231a-232b) written in a different hand and consisting of, probably, another part or parts of the same work, is added to the main text which ends in f. 229a; it begins (231a): jJ-iiï >>■ aaJoLuJI IjIj <*"■ m *T, and ends abruptly (242b:23-4): '«*>>• ai».» > ««■»'» J '“'»•* ■*** £..*>• Ö-* j (For another copy of the same work, see Cod.Or. 1246, below.) A biography of the author in Arabic, with a chronology of his career in the right margin, headed * * *■ ■ »ti i (possibly partly based on, but not identical with, Ta§köprizade (1985), pp. 492-3) is found on the verso side of the second flyleaf; a great number of verses in the hand of one of the correctors occur in f. 230b. Many erasures and marginal additions and corrections in various hands, sometimes again crossed out. Bound in boards with flap covered in marbled paper, with light brown leather edges, front and backing; white to light brown paper; water damage toward the end of the volume, particularly in ff. 227-230 (230b seems to have been used as place-mat for drinks); (2)+242+(l) folios, numbered in Arabic with black ink; 237x170 mm and 175x110 mm, varying, 160x82 mm, varying (231a-242b); 25 and 27 (231a-242b) lines; catchwords, missing in f. 228b; small careless nesih and neat nesih (231a-242b); rubrics and dots in red, omitted from f. 231b onward (with exception of ff. 239a-240b); the text is headed by a besmele in sülüs (la); ff. 229-242, consisting of, respectively, an incomplete quire of three-and-a-half sheets (ff. 229-32, 242 - the catchword in f. 231b does not fit the text on f. 232a) and a quire of four sheets (ff. 233-41), do not belong to the main body of the MS; the copy is said to be an autograph in f. la (^-^UJI yjl ■ see plate); this is dubious in view of the missing original ending where a colophon might have been found; owner’s inscription on f. la of the kail (second period of office) of Tirhala (modem Trikkala in Greece), but better known as poet and biographer, ‘Ata’uddin b. Yahya known as NevTzade (d. 1045/1635), with year 1042 (1632-3) (see on him, John Walsh, “AtaT, in Ef; see also plate); illegible seal and owners’ inscriptions on the recto side of the second flyleaf of Hasan Dede and imamzade, an ex legato plate is pasted on f. la.

Cod.Or. 505 Turkish poetic fragments The manuscript contains a copy of a work in Arabic on the legitimacy of executing revilers of the Prophet designated as-Sayf al-maslül ‘ala man sabba r- Rasül by Taqf ad-DTn ‘AIT b. ‘Abd al-Kafi as-SubqT ash-ShamT (d. 756/1355) with additional verses; cf. Voorhoeve, p. 325; GAL II, p. 87 and S II, p. 102). The main work was copied in Safer 751 (March-April 1351). A beyt and a fragment of two distichs (attributed to Husrev) in Turkish are found on the title page (la); small §ikeste. Cod.Or. 508 Hadtkat es-su ‘add * 1 juluJI ^>- A late 16th-century copy of a Shiite martyrology by Mehmed b. Siileyman under the pen-name of Fuzülï (d. 963/1556). The name of the author occurs in the margin of f. 256b. A great number of manuscripts have survived and it was also printed at least five times. The work contains an elaborated description of the death of Husayn, nephew of the Prophet. It was based on Husayn Wa‘iz al- Kashifi’s (d. 910/1505) Rawdat ash-shuhada and is divided into ten chapters (bab) and a conclusion (hatime). The work begins with chapters on the prophets (first chapter, from f. 6b), including Muhammad (second and third chapters, from f. 42b), Fatima (fourth chapter, from about f. 71a - the chapter heading is missing); ‘AIT (fifth chapter, f. 93b); and Hasan (sixth chapter, f. 113b). The history of Husayn begins in the seventh chapter (f. 125a). The Battle of Kerbela and Husayn’s death are described in the tenth chapter (from f. 180b). A final part, mainly on the Twelve Imams and which occurs in the Cairo edition (pp. 358:15 - 364:13), is missing in the present copy (between f. 256a and f. 256b). The prose text of the last chapter ends (f. 256a) in: aL o L-ul*. >• w»--» >? I» Jj . TH « II t ,j 4jj A49JI 5 jj^AliaJI ^j_i 1 j bll <JT 5 ^ 1 f aUI m 1 p p ^ The final poem is in f. 256b.

139 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 517, cont.) A Mongolian glossary and phrasebook The work, in itself a miscellany, consists of two main parts and is headed by the title 3 in f. 63b (see plate). In the following, we find (1) a Mongolian-Persian wordlist (Mongolian words are written in black, Persian equivalents below them in red ink, 63b-67b:4); and (2) an Arabic-Mongolian wordlist, beginning with the title (67b:5) * L^_ VI lULUI ....an (Arabic words are written in red, Mongolian equivalents below them in black ink, 67b:5- 74b:8); as is clear from the heading ("thirteenth part") the latter part was obviously copied from a different work; further chapter headings are found in f. 68b-69a ("fourteenth part", the names of wild animals); f. 68b ("fifteenth part", on birds); f. 69a ("sixteenth part", on body fluids, and "seventeenth part", on insects); f. 69b ( eighteenth part", on illnesses, and "nineteenth part", on colours, and "twentieth part", on relatives); f. 70a ("[twenty-]first part", on numbers); f. 70b ("twenty-second part", on adverbs and pronouns). In f. 71b: 11 a "chapter" (bob) containing an alphabetical list of verbal nouns begins. After it, in f. 74b:9, begins a part {fast) on Turkish words (in red), mostly names, with equivalents in Mongolian below them (in black ink). Finally we find a series of short Arabic phrases (in red) with, beneath them, equivalents in Mongolian (in black ink, 75a: 8 - 75b). These are concluded by the phrase: ajUI 3 3 ^ |fcLu 3 A, .o 3 aJI 3 (jjLt. The work is followed in f. 76a by a poem in Turkish of five distichs which sings the praises of a certain Kaiï Cemalüddïn; f. 76b contains (fragments of) prayers in Arabic in various hands. A few marginal corrections and additions; a note in Oirat (?) script occurs in f. 75b. (Mongol Oirats settled in the HusaynTya quarter of Cairo at the end of the 13th century.) Literature: N.

Muhammad b. Yusuf al-Qonawf, possibly the author, on Sunday, 27 §a‘ban 743 (25 January 1343; cf. Flemming, ‘Irrtum’, p. 227-8; a facsimile of f. 62b is in p. 228; see also plate). An illegible owner’s seal occurs on the mended edge off. la; an ex legato is pasted on f. la. A price, later partly erased - the word "kiymet' is gold-dusted - of 15.. ( = 150?) akge is written near the title in f. la; the book was apparently acquired for this price by a certain ishak b. Ahmed. Below the title occurs another inscription which seems to imply that the book was destined for the library ("hizdne" of a certain Kazi Kemal or perhaps Kemal ed-Dïn (cf. Houtsma’s edition, p. 1); there also occur the names of ibn-i iskender and Mehmed b. Ka.. (partly erased) on this page; other inscriptions here are illegible and partly rubbed out. In f. 75b occurs an inscription by a certain ‘Abdullah b. ‘Abdulgaffar, stating that he had read the book. Catalogue entry: CCO 212 (I, p. 109).

It gives a chronological survey until 1481, the end of the reign of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror. The famous history - title and author are marked on the first flyleaf as ohjjlj - consists of a lengthy introduction (on the presenting of a copy of the work to Sultan Murad III, see f. 8b; the title is mentioned in f. 8b: 14), followed by chapters on the reigns of ‘Osman (11a), Orhan (22b), Murad I (49a), Bayezfd I (93a), Murad II (231a), and Mehmed II (293b).

Further chapters treat of the deeds (manaqib) of Muhammad’s "Companions" (ashab), from Abü Bakr to Hasan and Husayn (61a-99b) and the Twelve imams (from 99b); the work ends with a genealogy ("nasab-nama" in Arabic) of the Twelve Imams (105b-107a).

145 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 536, cont.) An anthology or miscellany of poetry The third part of the manuscript, likewise undated, might be a continuation of (2), but perhaps more likely is an anthology or a miscellany by an anonymous scholar or the copyist. It consists of the following parts: (1) a fragment in Persian prose taken, according to the heading in f. 107b, from the introduction (dtbaja) to the Diwan of Zahfr-i FaryabI (107b-109a); (2) a series of quotations with the common theme of eloquence and the gift of articulateness - in paragraph headings we often find the terms "ta‘rtf-i sukhan” or its Turkish equivalent "sözta'rifi” (cf. f. 112a); it begins with a quotation from the Tadhkira of Dawlatshah (109b-lllb), which is followed by lengthy quotations from the work of Jamï, Khöja Ni‘mat Allah, Ata I, Jamalï, Nawa I, Nizami, Khaqani, Sultan Walad and others (112a-141a); (4) a series of versified letters or passages from works in which the word "nama" (including die Shahnama) figures by Khosraw-i Dahlawl, Asadl, FaryabI, NabI, Abdulwasi , HatifI, Hafiz and others (141b-246b). An important part of this chapter contains quotations from books of advice (pand-namas) or passages with counsel (nasihat) from works by ‘Attar, Khosraw-i Dahlawl, Jamï, Jamal! and others (187b-218b in particular). We also find four fragments from (Chagatay-)Turkish works by ‘All §Ir Nevayl (Nawa’I, d. 906/1501, cf. M.E. Subtelny, ‘Mir ‘All Shir NawaT in £7 2 ): (1) the sixteenth chapter of his Mahbüb el-kulub (124b - 126a:6); two fragments without title but ascribed to Nevayl (126a:7 - 127b, and 130a; f. 129 is blank)- (3) a fragment fromLeyla vtt Mecnun (130b-132:4, see also plate); (4) a fragment from Ferhdd u §irin (226b:8 - 238a:9); (5) another fragment from Leyla vii Mecnun (238:11 - 246b).

The miscellany consists of five main parts, all undated: (1) ff. lb-34a A manual on the art of letter-writing The work, clearly an elaboration of a Persian example - only a few paragraphs, including the introduction and some connecting prose fragments are in Turkish - is at least in part based on Husayn Wa‘iz al-Kashiff’s Sahtfa-i shahi, here called "Sahïfa-i jihünïya" (cf. Storey III/2, pp. 262-3) and quoted in f. 9a:2. No further author or title are mentioned. The manual is preceded by an introduction (lb, printed in CCO), in which the composition of the work, in accordance with the principles of gracious eloquence and (social/bureaucratic) precedence, are discussed. The reader to whom the manual is addressed, the katib (mentioned in f. lb:9), is enjoined to write well and respect the rules. Particular attention is paid to the selection of Arabic and Persian verse - the work in fact consists mostly of, often lengthy, quotations of Persian poems - to be inserted in the various parts of letters of, again, various types. The work is divided into seven "pillars" (riikn) or "lines" (satr), treating of, respectively, opening (iftitah, lb-9a); (2) prefaces (mukaddimat, 9a-18a); (3) description (expositio, ta ‘rtf-i mektub, 18a-23a); (4) conclusion (wrongly in23a but according to the introduction: netfce, 23a-24a); (5) the paying of respect (according to the introduction: ta'zim-i an, 24a-?); (6) reciprocation (mukabele title only m the introduction, ?-33b); and (7) the showing of gratitude (yiikr 33b- 34a). A few passages are left blank (ff. 24a, 24b, 25a, 31a). The work ends in a conclusion (hatime). For each part, exemplary verses are given. In the second chapter occurs a table with suitable formulae, almost all in Persian, for the beginning, middle and concluding parts of letters, the addressees of which are classified from "sultans and their sons", to kings, emirs, viziers and further down
150 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 543, cont.) to sayyids cadis, shaykhs, scholars, "notables", members of the middle class (evasitii n-nas) and brotherhoods (ihydniyat) (9a-18a).

The work is also arranged according to the various parts of letters, from the opening (iftitah) to the appendix (geyl\ f. 95a, "the post-script with offerings of consolation for the loss of children"), and, again, the social status of the addressees. A fine distinction of ranks in religious functionaries is found in ff. 49b-55b. There is only one example of a passage in Turkish rhymed prose which is specifically indicated in a separate heading as "nathr-i turkT in f. 92a. From f. 72a, we find series of titles (alqab), including paragraphs, partly in tabular form, on how the writer should decribe himself in the various types of letters. The work ends with a separate table with final "invocations" (da'vdt, 96b- 100b), which breaks off in the catchword "bayat" in the lower margin of f. 100b; it is repeated on the otherwise blank f. 101a.

Süleyman Pa§a and the defterdar responsible were dismissed; the seal of commandership (‘miihr-i Girit') was sent to Haccf Hüseyn Pa§a.

Cod.Or. 639 Annotations in Turkish The manuscript contains an early copy of an anthology of poetry entitled Akhbar al-mulük wa-nuzhat al-malik wa-1-mamlükfttabaqati sh-shu ‘ara etc. collected by al-Malik al-MansGr b. Shahinshah b. Ayüb (d. 617/1221) of Hamah (cf. Voorhoeve, p. 9; GAL I, p. 324 and S I, 558); it was based on a copy with the text that had been dictated by the prince and was completed on 22 Rebf'ü l-ahir 602 (6 November 1204, cf. pp. 579-80). Owners’ inscriptions of al-Hasanayn b. Hayman al-Khalidïal-Makhzumï(Cairo, 866/1461-2) and Ahmad b. Mubarakshah al-HanafT are found on the title page (p. 1); stamps with the names of Sa‘dl and ‘Isa are also found here and on the flyleaf preceding it. This flyleaf as well as the ones following the text which do not belong to the original manuscript contain various annotations: calculations and texts in Arabic and Turkish; fragments of quotations in Arabic (recto side of flyleaf preceding the text) repeatedly feature the word ‘Kostantinïye’. A list of ‘personal characteristics’ of the Prophet in Arabic and Turkish, headed ‘hilye-i resül Allah... buduf (18 entries, fikeste) occurs on the verso side. Lists of brief book titles and sometimes names of authors (mashaf-i serif, Ebüssu'üd, Kess&f and so forth) with numbers, indicating prices in riy&l [kurus], and marginal calculations, made by, probably, an Istanbul bookseller, are found on the two flyleaves following p. 580; 74, 44, and 55 items; Sikeste.

169 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 644, cont.) The manuscript consists of a collection of at least thirty works, partly incomplete and of various formats, in various languages, witten in various hands and jotted full with stray notes, comments, verses and so on. The last year mentioned is 1060/1650 (cf. f. 19a). An index of the thirty works occurs in f. la and the division was, with some changes, adopted in CCO and in the manuscript itself by Roman numerals written in pencil. For practical reasons, I adopt the pencil numbering of the manuscript, including those of the folios which are somewhat different from the original Arabic numbers. The following parts contain texts in Turkish: (4a) f. 43b, margin Five notes in fikeste and siydkat (excerpts from an administrative defter) concerning the granting of a ze ‘amet of 35 akge daily to a certain Mehmed after he had returned wounded from the Egri (Eger) campaign (probably of i596); and the pensioning off of 35 other wounded soldiers who had been enlisted for participation in the Crete campaign (begun in 1644); the hüküm in which this was decided dated of 25 §a‘ban 1059 (3 September 1649) (see plate). The annotations are found on a page which is part of Part IV (40a-43b), a fragment of an Arabic glossary. (8a) ff. 81a-82b Two loose sheets of white glazed paper, which are part of part IX (77b-84b), contain a number of text fragments in Turkish written in various hands, notably a petition by Ahmed el-Müderris about the appointment of local mülazims at the medrese of kail Muhyiddin (81b); a petition to the Sultan by a protégé of Lala Ramazan Pa§a about his appointment to a post (of 30 akge daily) at the Ba§?i Ibrahim medrese at Istanbul and a grant of alms for his brother Ahmed who had been dismissed from a post at the medrese of Hacci Harem (81b); a petition by Ahmed, son of kadi Hasan Efendi of Edime, about his appointment to a post at the medrese of ööca Kestel in Istanbul (82a); a prayer formula (ibidem)', two notes about loans, one of which is dated 1006 (1597-8) (ibidem)-, a petition by Mahmüd b. ‘Abdulhalim on behalf of Ahmed, son of the late kadi of Edime, about alms to be received after his dismissal from the medrese of Canbaziye in Istanbul, dated mid-Ramazan 1004 (8-17 May 1596) (82b); a chronogram on the death of fjoca SaT, dated 994 (1585-6) (ibidem)', a chronogram on the Hpath 0 f Fehmf (ibidem)-, a note on the birth of the son of Shaykh Mehmed b.

171 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 644, cont.) Hasan, at the end of Ramazan 1007 (16-25 April 1599) {ibidem)-, signatures of the aforementioned miiderrisin Mahmüd b. ‘Abdulhalfm and Ahmed b. Hasan (ibidem). (9c) ff. 85-86; 196 Fragments of an almanac The fragment consists of three folios written in the same small nesih with tables and texts in Arabic, Persian and Turkish. The first two folios belong to Part IXa which number is written in pencil in f. 85a. The first page (85a) contains a circular table in black and red connecting the geographical directions, year numbers and letters, months, and signs of the zodiac; examples of its use are given in the Turkish text above it. The next two pages (85b-86a) contain a crudely drawn table with data for the Christian (Rumi) year 1870; the text is in Arabic, with marginal explanations in Turkish. For twelve months Te$rin-i ewel to Eyliil the Coptic months and the ascent of some stars in Iraq are given. The table is followed by a text in Persian (86b; 196a - the catchword in 86b fits the first word in 196a) with Turkish glosses on the motions of the sun and the planets and an explanation of an astronomical table in black and red on the motion of Mercury relative to the other planets (196b). (The work is not mentioned in the index in f. la.) The almanac is written on a sheet of two folios and a separate folio; thick, glazed white paper; pages are smaller than elsewhere in the MS: approximately 185x135 mm; irregular margins; 20 lines; one catchword (86b); small nesih; headings and rubrics in red.

172 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 644, cont.) (12) ff. 99a-105b A rhymed Persian-Turkish glossary The work, the beginning of which seems to be missing, consists of an introduction and ten small chapters, styled kit'as, written in different metres indicated in the chapter headings. In their rhyme, the chapters have the form of kasides. The Persian words are indicated by red lines. (The work is not mentioned in the index in f. la.) The glossary is written on a quire of three sheets against which the first folio is pasted; glazed cream paper; written surface 140x80 mm, varying; catchwords; 13 lines; slanting ta'lik; red headings, rubrics and lines.

(13) ff. 106a-lllb A miscellany This part of the manuscript is not in fact a unit but consists of three sheets of each two folios pasted together, all clearly of different origin. The pages of the first sheet (106a-107b) are largely blank but contain some verse fragments in Persian and Turkish (in ff. 106a, 106b and 107b); among the latter category are four chronograms on the death of the poet BakI by Hasbl (?, 106b) and, in a different hand, by Had!, Kesbr and HusamT (107b), the second with the year 1008 (1600). The paper is glazed and cream-coloured; the verses are written in elegant nesta ‘lik in ff. 106a and 107b, in casual pkeste in f. 106b. The second sheet (108a-109b) contains the text of a petition by ftTnar-holding sipahts addressed to the sultan in which they strongly protest about the transfer of their feudal lands situated outside the Edime Gate in Üsküdar to ‘country people’ (diyar halki) and janissaries {peak ogullan) during their absence at the front near istolni Belgrad (Székesferhérvar). It ends in the signature *LjI *aju*
173 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 644, cont.) üL-*L—. It is preceded by a quotation from an Imperial Rescript (headed ‘j-» ti**L** - this heading is also found in the index in f. la), probably written in response to the petition and in which the addressee, doubtless the beglerbegi responsible mentioned in the petition, is enjoined to keep the law and "to give your sons their due" (kanün iizere ogullanmza dirlik verilsiin"). The last page (f. 109b) contains a sketch of a talisman as well as instructions how to use it and which formulae to pronounce for, respectively, the purposes of the acquisition of money, the defeat of an enemy, the assuaging of sorrow, and, generally, when staying in the proximity of ‘great men’ (ekabir). The paper is unglazed and the writing is in coarse $ikeste. The third sheet (110a-1 lib), originally folded along a line running through the middle from right to left, forming two columns, contains innumerable small notes, quotations, fragments of poetry and separate words (often in red) in Arabic and Persian, which have generally been written from bottom to top forming sentences arranged from right to left (continuously in ff. 110b-llla). The paper is glazed and white, the writing is in small nesifr. In the upper margin of f. 108a is written j ujjL»-, followed by a table with letters and numbers. Catalogue entry: CCO V, p. 152. (18) ff. 135a-144b A collection of poems by NecatT The poet’s name appears in f. 136b:7 towards the end of the first poem, the so- called ‘giil kasïdesï (cf. Tarlan’s edition of the Divan, p. 63), and in most following ones which are attributed to the same man by the words <U and La* I <J. Necatï Beg (d. 914/1509), the author of a Divan, is reckoned among the"first great Ottoman poets. The collection consists of two kastdes, 22 gazels; 18 kit'as and two short mesnevis; additional verses are found in the margins 0 f ff. 141b, 142b, 143b-144b. Gazels by ishak and Ahmed, three quatrains and a matla‘ by A§ik are added in f. 135a in a different hand (The collection is mentioned as jLa-il s in the index, f. la.) This part of the manuscript consists of a quire of four sheets. The pages are smaller than those found in other parts: 195x145 mm; the paper is glazed and white; the collection is written in careless §ikeste, the poems in f. 135a in fine ta “Ilk.

(19a) ff. 145a-154b A miscellany This part of the MS consists of a quire of five sheets, not mentioned in the index in f. la; the number XlXa is written in pencil in f. 145a. (It is followed by a quire of one sheet (155a-156b) with various text fragments, and a larger quire of four sheets (157a-164b) with a text in Arabic on the Rhodes campaign of 928/1522 (numbered as XlXb), described in CCO V, p. 207, and in the index (la) as Risale-i cihad.) The quire, consisting of glazed but coarse white paper, contains a great many notes of various type and quotations of prose and verse in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, written, in topsy-turvey fashion and in various hands, mostly small nesih. Of some interest is a list of dates of birth of important religious figures (145b), from the imam-i a'zam in the year 150 onwards; it includes the year of the mülOzimet of ibn-i Kemal Pa§a with year 912 (1506-7), as well as the names of MiiftI ‘All Efendi (year 927/1520-1) and Seyyidf Efendi (year 944/1537-8).

(20) ff. 165a-168b A part of the manuscript numbered as XX (162a-167b) contains a defective quire of two sheets (165a-168b). It consists of a ‘title page’ with an (incomplete) line by the deceased Molla Lutfi, a miiseddes by Ceybf-i ‘ Acem and a gazel by Hatifi, followed by three pages from the Letayif by Mevlana Lutfi, which is a series of anecdotes about a Mevlana Uslt, nicknamed ‘Donkey Corpse’ (e$ek mürdesi, cf. f. 165b:4) who flourished during the reign of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror (see also plate). It breaks of in the catchwords Ü» j+u L*l which do not fit with the text in the next page. I have been unable to find references to either writer or work.

THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 665, cont.) An undated, incomplete copy of a treatise on religious orders in prose and (mesnevi) verse, by VahidI, whose identity is uncertain (cf. Karamustafa’s edition, pp. 39-43). The title appears in a heading preceding the text in f. lb (see plate). The work is also known as Menakib-i/ Kitab-i IjOca-i Cihan ve Nettce-i Can. The name of the author is mentioned in four verses of the more complete copies (cf. Karamustafa’s edition, p. 39n.) It consists of a lengthy introduction (lb-7a) in which the author explains, among other things, that he wrote the work "full of questions and answers" at the beginning of Safer 929 (20-29 December 1522). It was dedicated to Sultan Siileyman, who, as the author explains, had just conquered Rhodes (3b); in a following mesnevi in which the reason for writing the book is explained, he refers to the title with the words ‘on tevayif (f. 5a: 18). The work itself, called ‘risale’ (5b:7), is given the form of a colloquy in which a certain tJoca-i Cihan, a scholar and pir of Khorasan, provides answers to certain questions for his son, Netlce-i Can. After the latter had become a youth of great beauty, father and son decided to leave the love-sick populace of their hometown ("young and old men, groaning and moaning", llb:8) behind, to see the world and study the (religious) customs of its (Muslim) inhabitants. Having travelled to Mecca (where they performed the hacc) and Medina (where they visited the tomb of Muhammad), father and son finally settled down in a monastery (hankah) on the town’s outskirts (12a:6-7). There they were visited by members of the various religious orders who discussed their beliefs and habits with the höca, while his son, silent and his face covered by a veil, sat listening. They were visited by members of, respectively, the Kalenden (12a), the Abdal (18a), Haydan (24b), Camï (30b), Bekta§I (34a), §ems-i Tebnzf (38a), Mevlevf (41b) and EdhemT tarikats (48b) as well as ‘ulema (52b) and softs (58b). The text breaks off in the third line of the mesnevi speech by the höca. A detailed summary of the contents is found in Karamustafa’s edition, pp. 5-15. A few marginal additions as well as I jtin glosses and words in Arabic script in pencil (from 17b onward). (For another copy of the same work, see Cod.Or. 1076, below.) Rebound in brown leather; glazed white paper; (2)+1+64+3+(2) folios; 215x150 mm and 160x100 mm, varying; 21 lines; catchwords; irregular nesib; headings and rubrics in red; without date and name of copyist; a red wax seal with globe and cross between pal leaves (for a photo, see Van der Heide, opposite p. 14) occurs on the recto side of the first flyleaf; an ex legato plate is pasted on f. 64b.

The rare work, consisting, according to the author, of 13,000 beyts (455a:7), was dedicated to the Shah of Syria and Egypt (cf. 13b:9), the Mamlük Sultan, al-Malik al-Ashraf Abü Nasr [= Nasir] Qayitbay (13b: 11), and was completed in 893 (1487-8, f. 455b:4). The identity of the author is uncertain (cf. Rossi, p. 132), but he seems to have been attached to the Mamlük court (cf. below). In the conclusion, the author describes how greatly he suffered - the country where he lived was ravaged (456a: 15) - but finally settled in his hometown ‘Ayntab (at present Gaziantep, 457a:9). Elsewhere he explains that his family had lived in that town for generations and that he had been bom there (101a: 10). He also writes that he travelled widely and saw much of the

The work consists of a lengthy introduction (lb-18a), a description of the Creation (18a-21a), of the heavenly spheres and the stars (21a-33b), the angels (33b-37b), the four elements (37b-39a), the earth and its physical and meteorological features (from 39a), the appearance of Adam and mankind (55b) and the geography of the earth, its countries, peoples and monuments (esp. the Ka‘ba, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the ‘imarets and other monumental buildings of Egypt and Syria, including the town of ‘Ayntab, and the wonders of Istanbul) (62b). A special chapter is dedicated to the diplomatic mission of the poet to the court of Sultan Bayezfd II which was related - particulars are however not given - to the revolt of Prince Cem who had been received by Qayitbay (in 886/1481, cf. Halil inalcik, ‘Diem’ in El 1 ), but was being held hostage in Europe (107b-108b).

M.E. Subtelny, ‘Mir ‘All Shir Nawa’I in Ef and others, and most of which were not readily understandable to Ottoman readers (see also the introduction to the edition mentioned below). The title here given is written on the outer front-board but the work is best known as Lugat-i Abü§ka or Abü§ka lugati after the first entry. The full title seems to be el-Lugat en-Neva ’iye ve isti§hadat el-Qagata’iye. It was not written later than 15 Rebi'u s-sanT954 (4 June 1547, cf. Blochet I, p. 87) by an unknown Ottoman scholar, who, according to a note in one manuscript kept in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris (Blochet S 1345), was a certain PIr Celebi Nakka§. The work is arranged alphabetically with chapters dedicated to the subsequent letters (harf). The explanations are accompanied by quotations from the original works. The dictionary is preceded by an introductory poem in mesnevi rhyme (pp. 1-2). There are copious marginal additions. The manuscript once belonged to the historian Hasan Begzade. (For a comparable work, see Cod.Or. 841(4), below; for another, abbreviated, version of the same work, see Cod.Or. 1100(3), below; for another incomplete copy, see Cod.Or. 1135.) The dictionary is followed by a Persian chronogram (on the last two unnumbered pages) eulogizing the sultan of Khiva, Abü 1-Ghazi Husayn Bahadur Khan (ruled 1054/1644-5 - 1074/1663, cf. B. Spuler, ‘Abu 1-GhazT in El 2 ). The poem has the form of a terkib-i bend of five stanzas, the first hemistich of each stanza of which indicates the year of birth (844/1441) of Nevayl, and the second hemistich of each stanza of which indicates the year of his death (906/1501). The poem is preceded by an introduction in Persian prose (pp. 187-189*). The sultan is mentioned in p. 188:13-5. The first flyleaf and p. 1 contain verses in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, among those attributed to Sa'duddln and Shaykh Sa‘dl. The price of 200 akge is written on the last unnumbered page, with the name Kefeli Mehmed £elebi from whom the manuscript was probably bought. Bound in boards with leather backing and edges; glazed paper in varying colours, varying from white to cream and pale yellow; 2+188+5 pages; 215x148 mm and 145x80 mm, varying; 17 lines; catchwords; nesih; the last two stanzas of the chronogram are written in careless gikeste and probably added later; headings,

Kopf, ‘al-Diawhan’ in EÏ 1 .) The work is divided into 28 chapters (bab) according to the final radicals of the Arabic words and further subdivided into as many paragraphs (fast) according to the initial letters.

(jalfl (d. 1056/1646-7) who was a km and head physician (reïsülattiba) at the Fatih Hospital at Istanbul. The work commences with an introduction (lb-2b) in which the author mentions himself (lb: 11) and the title of the treatise (2a:7). In it, he discusses the usefulness of the science of medicine, expresses the hope that the book will please Sultan Murad (Murad IV, ruled 1032/1623 -1049/1640) and gives a survey of the contents. The work itself consists of 17 chapters (fast), treating of various subjects, varying from the ‘advantages of eating’, the drinking of water, the effects of cereal grain consumption on the human body to, finally, remedies to ‘reinforce the powers’ of male and female during coition. The book was written over seventeen days in Cemdtf l-afcre 1037 (February 1628, 25b). Copious marginal corrections and additions.

227 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 728, cont.) SO IV, p. 795), and kapudan, Hiiseyn Pa§a (f. 15b, served 1049-51, SO IV, p. 785). The advice given to the sultan is, not surprisingly, to behave as a traditional just ruler and in accordance with the ‘Old Law’ (kanun-i kadim, f. la; see also f. 13a). The discourse is adstructed with precise figures, such as the number of personnel in various departments, time limits set for certain posts, and amounts of salary. The author first brings up the subject of the army and gives a survey of the ranks of, particularly, the janissary corps, the way its officers are (or should be) appointed, promoted, paid, and pensioned, its structure of command and administration. The author urges the sultan not to let his authority in these matters be usurped by the grand vizier or the yenigeri agasi and warns against the appointment of outsiders such as re'Oya and ‘city boys’ (fehirlii ogullar, 3a-b) to the corps. Secondly, the writer discusses the provisioning of the army during the campaign season, particularly the campaign bonuses to be distributed to the soldiery (sefer batist), traditionally amounting to 2000 yiikakge (4a). The writer warns that the ranks of the army should not be swollen too much because there were clearly signs that the re'dya were suffering and fleeing from country villages. Another complaint was that of the debasement of the coinage from which both re'ayd and the Sultan’s slaves (kullar) were suffering; the grand vizier should be instructed to take measures to restore its health (5b). The author also advises the sultan to read works of history such as the Tevdrih-i Al-i ‘Osman and the Shahnama so that he learn about the glorious past and its traditional ways (5b). The sultan should, above all, be completely aware of the workings of his administration, the way the public order is maintained, particularly during military campaigns, and who holds which postion. In order to shed light on these matters, the writer gives an outline of the responsibilities and salaries of the kdzï'askers (7b), the seyhiilislam (8b), the kapu kethüdasi (9a) who should not obstruct petitions directed to the sultan and explains the proper functioning 0 f the dynastic vak/s (9b). The author warns the sultan that at present the chief black eunuch (Dariissa ‘adet agasi) is failing to avert the illicit enrichment of the administrators (miitevelh s) so that the poor can no longer be fed from the soup kitchens while surpluses are pocketed by traders such as tailors and goldsmiths (lib). Thereupon, the writer outlines how a military campaign should be organized and how, for instance, the vizier (later Grand Vizier) ib§ir Mustafa Pa§a (cf. SO IV, p. 714) should be instructed to prepare an expedition against Poland (12a)! Finally, the author lists the most important officials, their salaries, and, occasionally, their names, from viziers, defterdars and others, to kapudans and lower navy personnel. The letter breaks off in a quotation of a hatt-i hümayün

(According to Babinger, GOW, p. 170, the name was ‘Mülhemf’, but the last line of the history suggests that it must have been ‘Mülhimï’, cf. below.) Only one other copy of the work, which is kept in the Topkapi Sarayi Library at Istanbul as MS Revan (kö§kü) 1418, seems to have survived. The work presents a chronological survey of the sultan’s life and the most important historical events divided into chapters (whose headings are left blank in this copy). The volume ends with the Baghdad campaign of 1048/1638. It is preceded by a long introduction (lb-lib), in which the author, among other things, mentions his name (10b:2, passim), the title of the book (11a: 11, passim,) and the commissioning of.the book by the sultan (9a-1 lb).

The volume ends in an epilogue (161b-162a) in which the author explains that the work only was the first volume and expresses his hope that his patron may live long.

There are a number of autobiographical passages from which it appears that the writer, chief of the life-guards of the sultan (ser-i silah§oran-i Osmamyan), was bom in Albania (10a) and, when still a boy, went to Egypt as cadet (fagird) in the local janissary corps (Misir kullan, ciindileri) during the period of the governorship of Mesih Pa§a (982-8/1574-80, cf. SO IV, p. 368) (1 lb-12a). He came to Istanbul for the circumcision festivities that lasted 64 days (in 1582, cf. under Cod.Or. 309, above) during which the Egyptian troops under Dervi§ Ualife participated in cavalry demonstrations at five different venues (17a; 30b). One of the author’s tasks was to coach novices in bowmanship (22a). At the end of the feast, the Egyptian janissaries were given the choice of staying and enrolling as palace troops (kapu kullan) (25b). Many did so, and Mustafa Aga probably was among them - he describes himself as a member of the saray-i hümayan halki in f. 26b. He subsequently mentions the Persian campaign under Ferhad Pasa, which took place seven years later (in fact between 993/1585 - 998/1590, cf. V.J. Parry in Ef \ Ferhad Pa§a was appointed commander in the year first-mentioned) (25b: 10), the Hungarian campaign and the revolt of the Celalls in Anatolia three years later again (26a), in which the author apparently participated. He explicitly mentions his presence at the surrender of the fortress of Egri (Eger, in 1596) (21a). Soon after the succession of Sultan Ahmed (in 1012/1603), he obtained a post in the life-guards (28a). Although he toyed for a while with the idea of writing a book on the subject of warfare (29a), he decided to begin writing seriously after he had successfully participated in a demonstration of acrobatics for the new sultan, ‘Osman (II, ruled 1027/1618 - 1031/1622) (31b) He finally expresses his hope that the grand vizier, ‘All Pa§a (in office between \m9H6\9 mA 1030/1621, see R. Mantran in El 2 ), and the chief black eunuch (Darüssa adet agasi), el-Hacc Siileyman Aga (in office 1029/1620 - 1031/1622, cf. SO 2 V, p. 1525), will be pleased to find favour with the treatise and recommend it to the sultan (32a-33b). The work itself is divided into eight chapters (bab, the titles are printed in CC0) which discuss various subjects such as the art of archery, how to hone arrows on a stone and how to perform acrobatics on horseback, and closes with an epilogue (hatime, from 82a). A few marginal and interlinear corrections and additions. In the margin of f. 87b the copyist added a verse between separate red borders (see plate).

248 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 775, cont.) the Bayezid Library at Istanbul. Literature: M. Cavid Baysun, ‘Emir Sultan’ in ÏA. (2) ff. 54b-75b A biography of the Prophet Muhammad An undated and incomplete copy of an anonymous life of the Prophet in simple, paratactic Turkish prose which shows archaic forms and spelling. It begins with a story (kissa) in which the people of Mecca pointed out Muhammad’s striking figure and the excellence of his conduct towards his uncle and guardian, Abu Talib, when he was eighteen years old and ends with a story (hikayet) on the marriage of his daughter, Fatima. The fragment, which also contains a story (kissa) on the life of Dawud (63a-64a), might have been part of a larger collection of stories on the lives of the prophets or even of a Hamze-name, a book of stories on the uncle of the Prophet (cf. below). The biography breaks off in f. 75:11, and is directly followed by a series of quotations in Arabic and in smaller script taken from a number of explicitely mentioned works. These contain some interlinear Turkish glosses. A few marginal corrections and additions. In ff. 76a-78b there follow four kasides written in the same hand as the biography. The second and third are attributed to MuslihT (not in GOD or Levend) and were to be sung in, respectively, the mok&m-i Huseytu and the rrutk&m-i diigah modes. The fourth (77a-79b), rhyming in -a, contains the manias of Bala in the penultimate distich (but is not found in Ergun’s edition of the Divan.)

The flyleaves contain various annotations: the first has a note on the accession to the throne of Sultan Mehmed [IV], dated 18 Receb 1058 (9 August 1648); on the verso side there is a besmele\ on the same page and f. la are, from left to right, a similar, if somewhat longer, note on the same accession and with the same date; a note on the acquisition of the book by a Janissary officer (ser- Qorbaci) called Ahmed ("My dear, we obtained the book from (?) the master who wrote it, bravo a thousand times!; his brother read these story books and [found them] soothing for his headaches; they are useful for this world and even more so for the next... it contains a series of fights and is really [like] those works of tafsir and hadis..."); another note on the qualities of the five volumes of the Hamze-ndme\ and a request to a man nicknamed Kara Cobar (‘Black-freckled’) to send a sack of horse-hair for Rizvan Pa§a, all in divdni script (cf. below) (see plate). On the penultimate flyleaf (verso side) are notes in a different hand on the death of Sultan Ahmed and the succession of his brother, Mustafa, dated Wednesday 26 Zf 1-ka‘de 1026 (25 November 1617) as well as one on the succession of ‘Osman in void-Rebi ‘ü l-evvel 1027 (7-17 March 1618).

The trtle is mentioned in f. 2a:7. It clearly is a reference to the Sahah by al-Jawhan (d. 393/1003, cf. GAL I, p. 128). The authorship, following the authority of Katib Celebi’s Kashf az-zunün, has, unconvincingly, been attributed to variousi scholars (cf. Storey). The work is preceded by a short introduction in Arabic (lb-2b) and consists of a series of Persian words, culled, according to the introduction, from a number of ‘respectable’ Persian books, with interlinear equivalents in Ottoman Turkish (which include occasional Arabic words, cf. Storey, p. 7). These are divided into a part (kism) with nouns according to the final and initial letters, and another one (from f. 37b) with verbs arranged according to the initial letters. The ‘conclusion’ on Persian grammar (cf. Storey p. 7) is nussmg. (For other copies of the same work, see Cod.Or. 863 and Cod.Or. 1100(1), below.) Bound in boards with flap and black leather backing and edges; glazed white paper; 1+44+1 folios; 212x150 mm and 150x85 mm, vatying- 11 lines- catchwords; nesih, vowelled in the Persian lexical items; interlinear and marginal’ additions in small, mostly vowelled, nesih- dated Rebr'ii l-ewel 919 (May-June 1513); ownership inscriptions of Mustafa, known as Sahirzade, with faded seal and Seyyid Dem§ occur on the flyleaf. The title of as well as a brief note are written on the inner front board; the endpaper contains (recto) a note on the accession to the throne of Sultan Ahmed on Saturday (in reality Monday) 18 Receb 1012 (22 December 1603) and a list of the months of the solï calendar in irregular spelling (^ jU W** and so on), with the numbers of days; and (verso) a list of book titles, mostly dictionaries, with prices (among these the Ijah-i ‘Acemf, 120; Tercüman-i Sahah, 700; the Lugat of Siirün, 1600; the Afjterï’, 40) (see plate).

The poem was concluded in 959/1551- 2 (cf. f. 29a), the commentary in 960/1552-3 (cf. f. 30a). The work is preceded by a bilingual, Arabic-Turkish, introduction from which it is clear that the book was dedicated to the Sultan (Siileyman).

258
259 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 801, cont.) title of the work is mentioned in f. 12b:4. The copy seems to be unique; the work is not mentioned in Katib Celebi’s Kashf az-zumn (cf. also GOW, p. 117n) nor has a copy survived in the Topkapi Sarayi Library. The author, about whom nothing seems to be known from other sources, gives details of his autobiography in the introduction and the concluding sections of his work. These are fascinating enough to relate them here in full. The motive for writing his work, the author writes in the introduction (3a), was his flight from Shirwan occupied by the Shiite ‘kizilbaf (§eki was occupied by theSafavids in 958/1551, cf. E. Lévi-Provenfal - J.-P. Molénat, ‘ShakkT’ in Ef). He L the son of a shaykh and molla (80b: 10), came to Istanbul at the time of Sultan Selim s accession to the throne (in 974/1566) "in order to preserve [his] faith and to study science (‘ilm)" (cf. also f. 80b). Elsewhere (80b), he adds that he had been in the possession of twenty superior books, but that these had been stolen from him. For a long time he lived in the cell (Mere) of a certain Süleyman Bababa§i near the Süleymanïye complex, passing the night on a stone chest covered by a rush mat (deujdan sundük edinüb bir hasir iistinde geciniirdiim, ibidem). Fortunately, he made the acquaintance of ööca ‘Abdulmü’mfn, the teacher of the late Ferhad Pa§a, and the höca presented him to his patron and the latter’s wife, Hiima§ah Sultan; they agreed to pay for his studies (81a). In the past, the author continues in his introduction, his family had suffered greatly: at the ‘coming out’ (burüc) of the cursed Haydar (the fifth shaykh of the Safavf tarikat who invaded Shirwan three times between 888/1483 and 983/1488, cf. R.M. Savory in Ef), 25 members of his family had perished together with his paternal great-grandfather (the text somewhat confusingly has 'atam dede’, whereas ‘babam’ is written in the margin (3a:3), but elsewhere we find dedem babasi, 83a:5). He was a seyyid ("[member of| the family of the Prophet") and Molla who was called KaradagT Mehmed. His grandfather, Ahmediiddih, had been able to escape the massacres (cf. also f. 84b:7). In another passage, the author adds that the latter was a leader of 'ulema, the author of a Persian tafsir and was sent as an envoy (el(i) to ‘padi$ahs’ (83a). His maternal great-grandfather, also called Mehmed, a shaykh and molla of Derbend, was a son of Seyyid Hamza (of Baghdad, cf. f. 84b: 12); he had come to Shirwan to study science but had stayed on and died in the village of §eki. The author was dani$mend for six years, and became a mülazim in the year (the Seyhülislam) Ebüssu‘üd died (982/1574). For eight years he waited for an appointment at a medrese - may the kdifaskers together with the kizilbas be damned! - and worked hard, shedding tears and blood, on his §ifd el-kulab ve lika el-mahcab which he offered to the sultan and for which he received 50 goldpieces

261 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 801, cont.) (3b). (Manuscripts of a work with this title, a treatise on Sufi doctrine, are kept in the Libraries of Paris and Vienna, cf. Blochet S 34; Fltigel III, p. 489; see also ICoshf az-zunun 7618, which gives the title without further particulars) Meanwhile, the military campaign against the Safavids had begun and when agents of the commander (Ozdemirogli) ‘Osman Pa§a brought good news to the capital and robes of honour (hil'ats) were distributed. Zekeriya Efendi probably the mcumbent km of Istanbul (d. 1001/1593, cf. SO 2 V, p. 1707), decided to bestow alms on the DarOlhadis at Iznik and charged the author with the task of distributing the money there. The kazi‘asker Beha’üddTnzade Efendi, however intervened and instead appointed "a stupid man". The author "again gave this book" to ‘Osman Pa§a (who had returned from Shirwan in 992/1584 and) who was subsequently made grand vizier. The latter died soon after the capture of Tabriz (in Zil-ka ‘de 993/ October 1585, apparently just before the completion of the version, where his death is mentioned, of the work found in our copy the author erroneously mentions the year 983, 3b: 12). When Beha’üddïnzade Efendi was dismissed, the author was finally appointed moderns with a daily salary of 40 akce (4a). The passage is concluded with the author’s request that no one change a word in his book and corrupt it (4a:2-6). Elsewhere, the author declares that after his mül&zemet he went to live (mücdvir idim’) in the hankdh of E§refzade in Iznik (cf. on this complex J.H. Mordtmann - G. Fehérvari, ‘Iznik’, in Ef). He clearly became a shaykh (‘baba’) and in a separate appendix (86a-88a) describes the miraculous visions (dreams) he had m which the sultans Süleyman, Selim, Murad, Prince Mehmed as well as Ay§e Suljan (daughter of Ferhad Pa§a), Abü Ayyüb Ansari/and Ebüsu‘üd figured. Thus he wrote, to give an example, that he saw Sultan Murad three times The second time "we, Sultan Murad Han and I, were together, the two of us We sat down. I wished for a decree (hiikm-i hümayUn). He wrote one for the villages and everything else that survived from my forefathers, be it little or much, and gave it to me. He also sealed a berdtlik (patent of privileges), a blank sheet of paper, and gave it to me, too. ‘Write [on it] whatever you want Baba ’ he said. (86b-87a). Not long afterwards, the author must have at least temporarily returned to §eki where he wote our copy or a version of his book on which our copy was based. To return to the contents of the manuscript, the treatise consists, after the long introduction (2b-14a), which is mainly dedicated to praise of the Prophet and the events of his prophethood and has lengthy passages in Arabic punctuated by verse m Arabic, Persian, and Turkish (4b-llb), of seven chapters (kit'd). The work itself is not so much a conventional chronicle of events as an essay on the

263 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 801, cont.) ideological background, or rather the religious justification, of the Ottoman subjection of Shirwan. Like the introduction, the text has lengthy quotations from hadts works and other texts in Arabic as well as poetic intermezzi. Here and there we also find pious anecdotes ("stories") on the life of shayks. Subsequently the chapters discuss, respectively, (1) the reasons for the conquest of Shirwan (14a) - a schematic map of the region with the major regions, towns, and rivers is found in f. 14b (see plate) (2) the meaning (‘ma'na’) of the prophets Müsa, ‘ïsa, and Muhammad as precursors of Sultan Murad (17b); (3) the meaning of Farao (Fir'avn) and the Deccal (representing the kizilba§) (22a); (4) the pride in and gratitude for the conquest of Shirwan felt by the populace and the appointment of ‘Osman Pa§a (33b); (5) praise of the Sultan and ‘Osman Pa§a (48a); (6) the date of Shirwan’s conquest and the identity of its conquering gazt (Lala Mustafa Pa§a, 50b), (7) the defeat of the ‘khan of Kefe’ (Mehmed Giray Khan, who was defeated at Kefe and deposed in 992/1584) (59b) - the chapter closes with an extensive quotation of the legal rulings (fetvds) produced by Ebüsu'üd on the request of Sultan Siileyman in justification of the war against the kizilba§ (66b- 70b). The work ends with a conclusion (hatime, 70b) which contains a section on the conquest of Istanbul and a list, with numbers, of its monuments (gates medreses, bathhouses, churches, and so on (75b-76a), apparently drawn up by Zekeriya Efendi (cf. margin of f. 76b). To it is added an appendix (tegytl, 78b) on various subjects, among these the medreses of Bursa (78b-80b), the life of Shaykh Sadruddfn of Ardabil, and the conflict between Haydar and the Shirwanshahs (from 83b) and various autobiographical passages (referred to above). There follows another appendix (styled ‘tevabi‘-i tezyiT, 86a-88a) dedicated to the author’s ‘visions’ and the work concludes with an final appendix (‘tetimmetü t-tevabi‘, 88a-89a). The margins are filled with innumerable corrections and additions in the same hand that wrote the text; parts of it and of the marginal additions, some of these written in a zig-zag pattern, are crossed or blotted out with red ink. The text is preceded by two fragments in, respectively, f. la and ff. lb-2a (breaking off just below the middle of the page), to which again many marginal additions have been made. The first fragment contains a text in Arabic on the merits of science (‘ilm), the second, which may well belong to the main work, describes the preparations of a military campaign against Persia by a sultan.

The Erst, a treatise on mysticism, was copied in Cairo in 927 (1520-1, cf. the colophon in f. 144a); the poetry includes the famous Pandnama (3, 182b-213b, cf. CCO 653 [II, p. 114]) and the Bulbulnama (4, 214b-225b, cf. CCO 659 [II, p. 115]) by ‘Attar (d. after 586/1190). The manuscript contains many additional glosses and annotations. An owner’s inscription of Asaff in Turkish with the year 962 (1554- 5) is found in f. la. Turkish annotations include prescriptions, including prayer formulas, for someone who wishes that his wife become pregnant with a boy (2b; 10 lines, sikeste)-, it begins: jj, zlvojS j3b AJLj^iL>.4_a/j^jl Jj-i-jl tilSJ m «5 It is preceded by a sentence in a different script: ‘burada hazret-i ‘Alt’den kereme llah vechehii bey‘at edenler yazila’.

Storey 1/2, p. 930). The work has been translated by a number of pre-Ottoman Anatolian and Ottoman scholars in the 14th and 15th centuries (ibidem, p. 932). The incipit of this copy is identical to that of a manuscript kept at the Provincial Library in Antalya which is attributed to Sinanüddïn Yüsuf b. fjizir known as «öca Pa§a (d. 891/1486, cf. ibidem) although there is no indication whether or where the translator’s name is found in the manuscript (cf. below). The autograph of this rare work seems to be preserved in the Istanbul Nuruosmani Library (cf. Hasibe Mazioglu in IA). Bimbaum, however, points to the widespread existence of manuscripts with anonymous recensions, to which, according to him the Nuruosmaniye MS 2299 also belongs. The Topkapi Sarayi Library, for instance has four manuscripts in the genre, the indpits of which are of two types (1136-8 and 1139), both different from the one in our copy. More research is needed before this copy will be able to be positioned in one or another of the various recensions. To return to our manuscript, the title is mentioned in f. la (‘hdgd kitab ^retu l-evhya ). The name of the author of the original Persian work is found m f. lb: 12 (see plate). There is no translator’s preface, apart from one sentence just referred to, which mentions the author of the original. The next sentence is a.translation of 016 flrst line of ‘ A “ 5r ’ s introduction, as in the edition by Nicholson I p. 2:10 ff. The first biography (of Abü Muhammad Ja‘far as-Sadiq) begins in f. 3a.

There are a number of autobiographical passages from which it appears that the writer, chief of the life- guards of the sultan (ser-i silahyordn-i *Osmdniyan), was bom in Albania (12a) and, when still a boy, went to Egypt as cadet (sagird) in the local janissary corps dUnng 016 Peri ° d ° f 016 S over norship of Meslh Pa§a (982-8/1574-80, cf.

One of the author’s tasks was to coach novices in bowmanship (26a). At the end of the feast the gyptian janissaries were given the choice of staying and enrolling as ptdace troops (kapu kalian) {Wz). Many did so, and Mustafa Aga probably was among diem - he describes himself as a member of the sardy-i hümayun halki in f 31b He subsequently mentions the Persian campaign under Ferhad Pa^a, which took place seven years later (in fact between 993/1585 - 998/1590, cf.

It was the second work in the genre produced by the Ottomans. It was written at the instigation of a friend, Mehmed Celebizade, a poet with the pen-name of ZaTff (see the introduction and under the poet’s biography, f. 100b).

The work is preceded by a lengthy introduction (lb-18a) on, among other things, the merits of good poetry and the dangers of envy and plagiarism, and a preface (18a-21a). The dictionary itself consists of three parts (fast), the first (21a-34b) on twelve shaykhs who lived between the 7/13th and 10/16th centuries; the second (34b-41b) on seven sultans and princes who composed poetry, down to and including Siileyman the Magnificent; and the third on the poets of Rüm, arranged in alphabetical fashion, from Ahmed Pa§a (43b) to Yahya Beg (154b-155a).

298 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 857) Cod.Or. 857 [Kitab-i] Mahmüdiye [u-iliS] An early 17th-century copy of an anonymous versified Arabic-Turkish dictionary by a scholar whose personal name was probably Mahmüd (cf.

Melek, known as Firi§teogh (flourished in the 8th/14th century, cf. Ömer Faruk Akiin m El). The work was written in 961/1553-4 according to a chronogram (3b-4a) represented by the words (Other manuscripts have 51S uVjp-, cf. Sohrweide I, 185, which results in the year 957/1550; cf. also Kut 353). The title is found in the heading in f. la and in f. 3:4.

Storey, p. 7). These are divided into a part (kism) with nouns according to the final and initial letters, and another one (from f. 56b) with verbs arranged according to the initial letters. The work ends with a ‘conclusion’, also in Arabic, on Persian grammar, consisting, mainly, of paradigms (from f. 67a:5, the heading is lacking) with interlinear Turkish glosses.

Siileymanb. Kemal, d. 940/1534) who was kaiVasker of Anatolia between 922/1516 and 925/1519 and $eyhülislam from 932/1526 to his death (cf. V.L. Ménage, ‘Kemal Pasha-zade’ in El 2 ). The heading on f. lb is partly erased and reads ‘...L JUS IS*’ and should probably, as in the Berlin MS or. oct. 2391 (Götz II, 88), have been: ojIjLSL» JUS’. The collection contains chapters varying from prayers (lb); the confession of faith (§ehMet, 9a); marriage (10b) and divorce (13a) to blasphemies (47a); a list of the headings, the first excepted, is printed in CCO. From f. 51b, we find fetvas by Ebüsu'üd (d. 982/1574, seyhiilislam from 952/1545) justifying war against the kizilba§. This part of the manuscript, according to a colophon in f. 54a, was copied in 996/1588. It is followed, in the same hand, by a riddle, the answer to which is ‘opium eaters’ (tityakiler), and a fetva by Ebössu üd on ber§ and opium consumption (54a); prayers (in Arabic) to be said on various occasions (54b-55a); a short treatise (‘tasntf) on the Islamic religion, particularly on the conditions for attaining eternal life, by seyhiilislam Mevlana Mahmud, müftï at Kefe (modem Feodosia - he was probably Mahmüd Efendi of Kefe, several times kazi in the same town, d. 990/1582, cf.

319 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 895, cont., 897, 898) Cod.Or. 897 Two Turkish mis ra's The manuscript contains (1) a copy of Miftah al-'ulüm, an Arabic treatise on rhetoric, by Yüsuf b. Abl Bakr as-Sakkakl (d. 626/1229) with many glosses (cf. Voorhoeve, p. 210; GAL I, 294). It was copied in 999 (1590-1). It is followed (2, 162b-163b) by a short treatise in Arabic on the classes of fakihs, Tabaqat al- fuqaha ’, by the Ottoman polymath and feyhiilislam Kemal Pa§az5de (d. 940/1534, cf.

Elaborate descriptions of the contents of the work are found on the first flyleaf (one text here, the first item, has been damaged by trimming on the left side, where additions have been made in a slightly different hand) as well as on the third flyleaf and in f. la (see below). The author mentions himself in the introduction (2b:8; see plate); the description on the first flyleaf informs us that the work was written during the reign of Sultan Murad (III, ruled 982/1574 - 1003/1595) by the defterdar Seyfi gelebi who died in 990/1582. The year of his death is unlikely in view of the contents (cf. Matuz’s study, p. 14). The colophon (67b), possibly by the author himself, stated that the book was completed on 3 Cemdif l-ahir 998 (9 April 1590). Confusingly, the number 988 is added in a different hand. If Seyfi was a defterdar, he may be identical to Seyfi Seyfullah Efendi, author of a fethname who died’in the early 17th century (cf. SO 2 V, p. 1500). A Seyfi was also the author of a work on chronology written in 980/1572 (cf. Götz II, 365). Only one other copy seems to have survived, which is kept in the Bibliothèque Nationale at Paris as MS S [Supplément turc\ 1136. The history begins with an introduction (lb-3b) and consists of nine chapters (fast), which discuss, respectively - the headings are here translated -, the emperors of Hitay (Cathay, China, 3b); (2) the rulers of the Kalmaks (Kalmuks, Mongols) and Tibet (12b); (3) the [historical] situation of Kashgar, Kazak, and Tura (18a); the rulers of Kashmir, the [historical] situation of the Afghans and the rulers of Dara and Darwaz (25b); (5) the (Mughal) emperor of India, Jalal ad-Dm (Akbar, ruled 963/1556 - 1014/1605) and his ancestors (31a); (6) rulers of India

Interlinear additions in a different script and marginal chapter indications. A fragment of a story figuring ‘the hero’ (kahraman) Katil and Mihriimah written in gold-dusted ta'lik is found on the first flyleaf; preamble formulas written in inexpert nesih occur on the next folio; scribblings in various hands are found in f. la; two poems of two distichs each are written in ff. 68b-69a (the first of which is quoted below).

He was bom in Karatova (Kratova, near Uskiib [Skopje]), and was a descendant of the famous Evrenos family which had its residence at Yenice-Vardar (present Giannitsa). His life down to 1555 is documented in an autobiographical mesnevT, SergUze^t, edited by Anhegger (cf. below). The title of the treatise is mentioned in f. 150a:4. The pen-name of the author, ZaTfi, is mentioned in f. 150a: 1; only two other copies seem to have survived as part of the collected work (külliy&t) of the scholar; these are kept in the Topkapi Sarayi Library (an autograph) and the Bibliothèque Nationale at Paris (cf. below). The work is said to have been written in 962/1554-5 (cf. Ugur’s study) or 964/1556-7 (cf. Blochet I, p. 402), but the chronogram (quoted in CCO IV, p. 224) in f. 150a:4 (‘tuhfatu z-zekd', cf. below) seems to suggest the year 947 (1540-1).

337 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 923, cont.) of it), is preceded by an introduction (147b-150b), including a preface (from 148b), in which the author relates how his patron, Mehmed Pa§a (el-Hacc Süfï Mehmed Pa§a, beglerbegi of Rumelia between 941/1534-5 and 944/1537-8- he died as a vizier in 958/1551, cf. SO 2 IV, p. 1073) had shown him a splendidly written and illuminated Persian manuscript which he had brought with him from Persia, probably as booty from one of the military campaigns to the east of those years. Za‘ifi accordingly translated the work into Turkish and dedicated it to Sultan Suleyman. The treatise is divided into paragraphs styled 'fü’ide', ‘haslet', nasihat and so on, in which the moralistic discourse, written in a highly abstract and florid rhymed prose, is interrupted by verses and historical anecdotes in the same style.

344 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 942, cont.) A small treatise in Arabic by, probably, Kazlzade (Kadizade), in refutation of isma‘11 Ankaravf’s opinions on the practice of music and dance by dervishes as expressed in a work entitled Hujjat as-sama‘ (cf. 28b:8-10; see (3), below). A few marginal glosses in Turkish. See Voorhoeve, p. 118. The work is preceded by various fragments in Arabic and Persian prose, among these quotations from a work with the title Tuhfat al-mulük (21b-28a). (3) ff. 35a-45b A treatise in Arabic entitled Hujjat as-sama' on the practice of music and dance by dervishes (cf. 34b:7). See Voorhoeve, p. 118; GAL II, p. 445. The work is accompanied in the margins by an abbreviated Turkish translation written in a smaller hand. It is preceded by an introductory remark (35a) that the essay was written in reponse to criticism (mu'araza) vented against the tekke of Yeni Kapu by Es‘ad Efendi when the latter was seyhiilislam (1024/1615 -1031/1622, cf. SO VI, p. 1759; see also plate). The author himself translated the treatise into Turkish (only a few copies seem to have survived, cf. Fihris 1326-7,1, pp. 341- 2), it continues, and ends by stating that "the poor one summarized it and wrote part of it in the margin." In a note in the same small neshiscript, which occurs below a number of Arabic quotations and next to the colophon in f. 45b, it is said that "Dervï§ Mehmed $eyda of Agnboz [modem Chalkis] wrote this”, so he probably copied the marginal translation and wrote the introductory remarks (see also under Cod.Or. 721, above). He is possibly also the copyist of most of the treatises of this manuscript and identical to Dervï§ Mehmed el-Mevlevf mentioned in the colophon in f. 158b (cf. below); the same man, who, like the writer, was living in Galata and must have known him well, produced a copy of (5) in 1053/1643 which is kept in the Provincial Library at Antalya (cf. TYTK (Antalya) 2687) as well as an other treatise by the same author in 1036/1626 which is kept in the State Library (Staatsbibliothek) in Berlin (cf. Sohrweide II, 260). A diagram on bad character traits inculcated by Satan is found on the same page (45b) (see plate). Further quotations in Arabic, headed ‘al-hadtth rabbani’ (sic) are found in f. 46a.

The work is preceded by a lengthy introduction (48b-50a), in which the author, among other things, explains that he wrote the treatise in gratitude to God after his eyes, which had begun to suffer from ophthalmia while he was approaching the end of the commentary on the third volume of the Mathnawi, had been healed. The sultan sent a court physician who was able ‘to lift the veil’ from his darkened eyes. He wrote the treatise in Turkish so that beginning students were able to understand it. The treatise itself consists of seven chapters (called fatiha); the headings are given in CCO. The work was finished on 10 Receb 1037 (16 March 1628, cf. f. llla:23-4).

370 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 982, cont.) 2). Many manuscripts have survived. The work is preceded by a lengthy introduction (lb-23a), including an author’s preface (18a-20a; see plate) as well as sections in praise of and offering counsel to Sultan Murad II (20a-23a) to whom the work was dedicated. Doing so, the poet made unacknowledged use of the oldest Anatolian Turkish version by Fafari (dated 767/1367), in turn based on Nizami’s mesnevC romance of the same title (On Nizami, died c.600/1203-4, and his work, see E. Berthels in El 1 ). §eybi, however, interspersed his much longer and stylistically more embellished work with kasides and lyrics and brought it to a close with the celebration of the marriage of Husrev and §irin, followed by the discourse of the sage Büzürg-Ümid concerning the creation of the universe and other matters. This ending is, as in most manuscripts, followed by the appendix (geyI, 202a-203b) by the poet Bayezid Cemali in two chapters on (1) the death of §eytji, and (2) a conclusion with praise of Sultan Murad. The title and the name of the author are written in f. la. The first folio does not belong to the original manuscript, and 34 beyts are missing between, in Timurtas’s editions, pp. 1:13 and 2:49.

Various annotations in Arabic and Persian, poems, on the first flyleaf (here is also a Turkish verse attributed to Rühï) and in ff. la and 50b. Cod.Or. 1087 Hikayet-i ‘acayib ü garayib l»^ c*. An undated copy of an allegorical story in prose and poetry by Ca‘fer Vecdf of Edime, a poet who died as court physician during the reign of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent (ruled 926/1520-974/1566). The pen-name of the poet is mentioned in a gazel occurring in the text (34a:6). The title precedes the text in a heading in f. lb, but may have been added later (the paper shows signs of mending in the upper margin where it occurs). The story is better known as Ana Baci or Hikayet-i liöca ‘Abdurra’af (cf. Levend, p. 146; Aumer 68). The authorship of this tale, on the authority of Sehf Beg’s biographical dictionary has also been ascribed to Ca‘fer VahdT of Edime (Levend, p. 146; Giinay Kut, He^t Bihift. The Teg/dre by Sehf Beg (Harvard University, 1978), p. 277; there is no
392 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 1087, cont.) mention here of his function of court physician, but it is said that he died as hare emini of a Mss at Edime; the man must be our poet, however, because the two lines quoted in the dictionary, pp. 277-8, also occur in our manuscript, f. 30a:6- 9). The first part of the story, written in florid rhymed prose alternated by a few poems, consists mainly of a colloquy between a merchant (höca) - he is also called ‘Höca Fuldn’ (lb:8), Höca-i Cihün (12a:2-3), and Höca-i Zaman (27b:3) - who had travelled from Rüm to Shiraz to spend his days feasting With beauties, and a mother-figure, also called the ‘Sorceress of Fate’ (sahMre-i zaman) and who is addressed as 'ana baci' (as, incidentally, are Bekta§I shaykhs), on the transitoriness of worldly pleasures and the inconstancy of man. In the mam, second, part of the story (from f. 24b), the höca falls in love with a beautiful person in a paradise-like garden of the palace (saray) of the local governor (server). The person’s gender is not clear: in f. 29b:2 the object of the merchant’s love is called ma‘$ak, which must refer to a boy, but elsewhere the beloved is called ‘princess’ (bam, 38a:9). That the beloved was a she is supported by the conclusion of the story where the author comments on the unreliability of women (cf. quotation below). The beloved returns the höca's love. Owing to the continuous partying that follows, the höca has to sell his wares and spend his fortune. Thereupon, he returns to Rüm to accumulate more wealth. After two years he travels back to Shiraz, but the beloved fails to remember the great love they had experienced. Thereupon, the merchant, desperate to dispel her disbelief, reminds her that he had given her a tooth from his mouth as a souvenir (yadkar) before he had left for Rüm (50a). The beloved, then, takes a handful of teeth from her pocket and asks: "Which one is yours?". The spell is broken, and having finally understood the wisdom of the sorceress’s counsel, the höca returns to Rüm to lead a quiet life with his family ever after. A fragment from another love story is added in a different hand on f. 53b. Despite Hammer’s assertion that the story was based on a popular fairytale ('Zahngeschichte', translated by himself), and Sehl Beg’s statement that the story was ‘famous’ (me§har), only one other manuscript seems to have survived, which is kept in the Bavarian State Library at Munich. Author and work are not mentioned in 'OM.

It is preceded by a short introduction in which it is stated that the poem explains the ‘disorder of the world’ and was written as counsel for the sultan; if the advice were followed, the world would once more be safe and happy (‘cihanün yüzi gülerdï). The poem was probably composed c. 1630: it mentions the plundering of Sarufcan and Aydin by Kinalu Mehmed Beg, also known as ‘Kinali-ogli’ (cf. Dani§mend, Kronoloji III, p. 351.)

423 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 1109) Cod.Or. 1109 [Kitab-i] Cihan-nüma g, [sjLS] An undated, incomplete copy of a cosmography by the polymath Mustafa b ‘Abdullah, known as Katib Celebi and Haccf Qalffa (d. 1067/1657). The work was begun in 1058/1648 and dedicated to Sultan Mehmed IV. It was based on the traditional literary sources and gives a description of the Muslim lands. A second version of the work, which Katib Celebi began in 1065/1654 after he had become acquainted with modem European maps and geographical works, had a far wider scope, but was never finished (for the codicological complexities, see Taeschner’s articles). The present manuscript is a copy of this second, incomplete, recension. The title occurs in ff. la, la: 1 (here not meant as such), 2a: 14 and 6a-1 - the author mentions himself in f. 5b:2. The work begins with a lengthy introduction divided into various chapters on the science of geography, the usefulness of maps and the incompleteness of the traditional, Islamic, sources (‘kütub-i islamTye', 2a:8); the present work was particularly inspired by the author’s acquaintance with the ‘atlas-i muhtasaf (2a. 10), that is, the Atlas Minor - the original title is mentioned elsewhere - with maps by Gerardus Mercator (1512-94) which Katib Celebi acquired from the estate of Kara Celebizade Mahmud Efendi (d. 1063/1653, cf. 6a: 11; see also Cod.Or. 895, above). The Atlas was first edited by Hondius (1563-1612) in 1607 but more editions followed until 1640. Quoting from the translated introduction (7b-9b), Katib Celebi explains that he used the version that had been completed on 17 March 1627 (8b: 1); it was an abbreviated version based on the edition of 1621 (7b: 14). Katib Celebi adds that the edition of 1621 had been printed in also appears as such in the Miiteferrika edition, p. 10:27 - that is Arnhem, but that the later one (of 1627) was published in -.r» (Amsterdam), corrected in the margin as (= Amstelrodamum 9 not in Miiteferrika’s edition, cf. p. 11:10); the first edition is known to exist (Koeman, p. 520), but copies of the latter edition do not seem to be extant; the edition of 1628, the ninth, a copy of which is preserved in the Leiden University Library (Koeman, p. 520 ff.), was, according to its praefatio, completed on 9 December 1627 - there is no reference here to the 1621 edition. However that may be, Katib Celebi had the work translated with the help of a French cleric converted to Islam named §eyh Mehmed Efendi [with the pen-name of iblas!]. This translation was begun in mid-Muharrem 1064 (early December 1653,7b:2-3) and he gave it the title Levdmi ‘u n-nür ft zulmat Atlas Minur (7b: 6). Writing on
424 Cod.Or, 1109, f. 17b. A page from a copy of Katib Celebi’s Cih&n-niima, a geographical work based on, among others, European sources. Warner obtained manuscripts from the scholar’s library and may well have known him personally. The page discusses some Islamic sources; commentary, possibly also by the author, is seen in the margin.
425 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 1109, cont.) the Cihan-mma started in early Safer 1065 (mid-December 1654) after two-thirds (438 pages) of the Dutch atlas had been translated (9b:6-9). The work, then, was divided into two parts (kism) and presented to Sultan Mehmed IV (2b-3b). Elsewhere, the author gives more details on his Islamic sources (9b-17b) and elaborates on the technicalities of the sciences of cosmography and topography illustrated by drawings and diagrams (17b-86a); the discourse is interrupted by an alphabetical list of place-names (73b-79b). The main part of the work discusses the physical aspects of the earth’s geography: seas and oceans, ‘currents’ Qiareket) of water and wind, the seasons, aspects of the weather and so on (86a); the five continents (141b): Europe (142a), Africa (151b); Asia (157b); America (162b); a description of the expeditions of Columbus, Magellan, and Iskender (170a); the Polar regions (187b); the four directions (198a); the inhabitants of the earth (206a): Japan (209b) and the ‘islands of China and India’ (that is the Philippines, Indonesia, and Ceylon, 226a-239b). At this point, between f. 239b and f. 240a, one or more quires are missing and the text continues (240a) with a part on Central Asia and the Tatars (240a) Azarbeijan (250a); Arran, Karabag and Shirwan (272a); Daghestan (290a); and Armenia (294a). (For another copy of the work, see Cod.Or. 12.363.) Marginal corrections, additions, and commentaries, in view of the handwriting apparently by the copyist, a few of which are of substantial length, are found in ff. 7b, 8a, 9b, 17b, 21b, 24a, 34a, 36a, 42a, 47b, 164a, 228a, 251b, 252a, 259b 266a, 268a, 270a, 275b, and 279b. The addition in f. 17b merits some attention because it does not seem to have found its way into the printed edition (cf. p. 14; see also plate). Discussing al-Idrisi’s NuzJiat al-mushtaq, the commentator/ author accuses Alï, in a bout of raving madness, of not having attributed the work to the Prophet Idris in the first volume of his Künhü l-afibar (cf. below; cf. Schmidt Pure Water for Thirsty Muslims, p. 25 and under Cod.Or. 288, above). There is also a quotation in Arabic from the Ta’rikh of Ibn Khaldun concerning the same work.

The third and final ‘story’ (13a-19a) treats the early years of the reign of Mehmed IV (1058/1648 -1099/1687). After a brief introduction on his succession and the execution of his father ibrahlm, there follow a number paragraphs styled ‘event’ (vak'a) or ‘[another] time’ (def'a) on the confrontation between janissary and sipOhnadts in Istanbul and Üsküdar later in the same year (13b-14a); the attack on Üsküdar by the Celall leader, Katirci-ogli, and his subsequent appointment to sancakbegi (14a-b); the dismissal and appointment of a number of important officials, preceded by a poem on the degeneration of the times (14b- 15b); the dismissal of Grand Vizier Melek Ahmed Pa§a after the revolt of the guilds (‘the Bazaar people’, ehl-i siik) after they had been forced by janissary officers with the connivance of the defterdar, Mustafa Pa§a, to exchange their gold coins for debased silver ak(es (Ramazan 1061/August 1651, 15b-16b); the conspiracy to enthrone Prince Ahmed, the execution of the valide sultan, and the restoration of the Sultan’s authority in a public meeting on the At meydam (in the same month, 16b-18a); the refusal of Bekta§ Aga to move to his post (as sancakbegi) in Bursa and his execution, with a verse by Pehlevanzade (18a-b); and, finally, the dismissal of Grand Vizier Siyavu§ Pa§a and the appointment of Gürcf Mehmed Pa§a in mid-Zf 1-ka‘de 1060 (in reality probably 15 §ewal 1061/ 27 August’1651, cf.

Cod.Or. 1112 Miscellaneous notes by Levinus Warner A collection of loose pages and folded sheets, partly wrapped into quires and bundles, with various notes, mainly in Warner’s handwriting; a few fragments in elegant nesih found in ff. lb, 15a and 91a were clearly written by Nicolaus Petri- the same is probably tme for the Latin found in ff. 2a-13b (cf. the introduction to this chapter and the index). The annotations are in various languages among them Hebrew, Greek and Persian (cf. ff. 74b-77b, 84a-85b), but mainly in Latin. The writing, both in Latin and Arabic script, is very carelessly executed and often difficult to read. Some of the notes are in Turkish, both in Arabic script and Latin transcription. Most of them concern theological, linguistic, and historical matters; a considerable part is dedicated to the recent history and the institutions of the Ottoman Empire. A Historic Persiae is mentioned in f. 39b. References to page numbers are found on most sheets. We should especially mention here: ff. 1-15. A bundle with sheets with digressions in Latin on the nature and medical propensities of coffee (cf. Juynboll, Beoefenaars, p. 230). We find, among other things, quotations in Arabic prose and verse on coffee consumption from ‘Urzizade (Muhammad b. ‘Umar al-‘Urdïal-Halabf, an acquaintance of Warner cf.

The writing is mostly very careless and difficult to read. (Nicolaus Petri wrote to Golius in 1649 on the acquisition by Warner of a Ta ’rtkh Timur in Istanbul, see Schmidt, ‘Heyman Papers’; on its usefulness, according to Warner, for the study of the Arabic language, see his Epistola Valedictoria to a number of ‘learned young men’ (Leiden 1644), p. 5 ff.) Catalogue entry: CCO 2428 (V, p. 115). Cod.Or. 1119 A collection of Turkish proverbs with annotations The collection comprises about 800 proverbs gathered by Levinus Warner with translations and, often lengthy, commentary in Latin, occasionally in Greek, in his own hand; additional notes and various glosses are written haphazardly around the Turkish phrases and on the recto side of the folios. The (original) entries are arranged m a numbered series, 1 (213b) to 704 (37b) on the verso sides; more entries follow, but mostly lack translations or commentary. The proverbs are roughly ordered according to common themes. Additional expressions and notes precede the numbered series in f. 214a-b and on the inner front board Persian beytsare found in ff. 214b, 198b, 95a (by Hafiz), 75 (by Sa'di); a Turkish beyt and three lines in Arabic are added to f. 155b - another Arabic sentence is found m f. 137a -; more Turkish verses are found in f. 144a, 135a (two beyts by Neff) 119a, 118a, 117a, 116a, 114a, 112a, 109a, 106a, 104a, and 67a. Most Turkish entries as well as the verses and Arabic quotations were clearly written by Nicolaus Petri (see the introduction to this chapter and the Index); a few others seem to show the handwriting of ‘AIT Beg Bobowski (ff. 88b-78b, cf. under Cod.Or. 390, above; see also plate). The work was never published, but there exists a neat draft of a similar collection gathered by Warner in the Manchester John Rylands Library in a late-18th century copy (Schmidt P 141).

443 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 1122, cont.) f. 12. An original copy of a hüküm - the tugra, although mentioned in the first line, seems to have been cut off - issued by the sultan (Murad IV), dated 1043/1633. In view of the fact that many ze'amet and timar-holding feudatories in the Morea peninsula (Peloponnese) did not participate in the last naval campaign, the letter declares, the berate and temessüks concerning these lands have been subjected to review. Conseqently ‘Abdullah-ogli Zfllfikar, although he enjoyed a living of 39,134 akge in a village near Drama (sancak of inebafeti, modem Naupaktos), did not join the fleet, nor did his men Ahmed and ‘Osman Theirfoldings, worth in all 59,134 akge, have been suspended by emr-i ferifn of xmA-Cemdiil-evvel [10]43 (12-22 November 1633, cf. the eighth line) and are to be entrusted to the kapudan, Ca‘fer Pa§a (see plate). Various notes in Latin (‘ignë anyli cü', refers probably to the name of the village mentioned in the seventh line of the letter), Greek and Arabic scnpt (with the name of Mehmed Beg) are written on the back of the paper Coarse, light brown paper, 365x355 mm, 14 lines, bold dmniand small siyakat in gold-dusted black ink. • p ', 13 ^' t fr / g . mem f 3 lettCr “ Arabic < f - 13a > in the handwriting of Nicolaus mn (ct. ft. 6-7), without addressee or sender - the latter must have been Warner -on consular duties to be paid to French consuls by Dutch merchants and the dismissal of the old consul’ at Izmir.

Schutte, Repertorium, pp. 332-3 ) A folded sheet of white paper, 210x155 mm, 23 lines, nesih, ff. I3b-14b are blank (For other drafts of the letter, see ff. 15-6 and 25, below.) ff. 15-6. A draft with erasures and corrections (in, apparently, Warner’s handwriting) of the letter found in f. 13a; the text exceeds that off 13a from f 15a: 20 onward and concerns the request of the Dutch merchants in Izmir to have a consul appointed from among themselves (15b); the hostility evinced by them towards the writer; the sum of consular duties sent from Izmir, which had had not been more than 1400 gurus riyal up to that time; and his fear of falling into debt. More fragments of drafts of the same letter and in the same hand are found in f. 16b A foWed sheet of white paper, approximately 310x215 mm, nesih, f. 16a is blank.

444 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 1122, cont.) Petri (cf. ff. 6-7), addressed to the patriarch of Mosul. The letter was written from France ("I am far away from you, as far as the River Rhone in our country from the Euphrates and France from Syria”, 17a: 14 - 17b: 1). The letter mostly concerns religious matters - passages from the Bible are occasionally quoted - and the writer expresses his hope that Nestorian Christianity will spread in the West and that the "reign of the Anti-Christ (.Dajjal, 18a: 10)” be crushed in a few years’ time. The writer also remarks that the Christians in France had been liberated for 120 years (18b: 17); other nations released from the grip of the pope are listed in f. 20a. A quire of two sheets of white paper without watermark, each folio 207x150 mm, 18 lines, varying; nesih., with many corrections and additions. The letter continues in ff. 26a-27a. f. 21. A fragment of a letter in Arabic, probably by Warner (cf. also ff. 13-6); the writer declares that "they” - meant are obviously the Dutch merchants of Izmir - only tell lies about him and that they falsely accuse him of spending too much on gifts, but that their, the merchants’, safety is in fact dependent on donations to the Porte; he indeed spends all his time and energy ensuring their well-being; they also reproach him to be often absent from Istanbul, "but the reason was that when the plague broke out in Istanbul, I did not stay... Indeed, I was not at home until the plague died down; even so, not a single ship came to the city at that time... I tell them, believe in my friendship...”. A folded and tom sheet of brownish paper with watermarks crown and the letter H, approximately 210x197 mm, 10 lines; slanting nesih- f. 22. An original copy of a hüküm with the tugra of Sultan Ahmed III (cf. Umur, pp. 241-5), concerning the appointment, upon his request, of the deliba$i (leader of the irregular cavalry) el-Hacc ‘Osman to barutgiyan agasi (commander of the powder-makers) at the fortress of Timi§var (Timisoara) with a salary of 80 akge daily, written at Istanbul, 19 Receb 1118 (27 October 1706). Glazed white paper, 1180x440 mm, large, calligraphic dtvani in black and red, with big gold dots, 7 lines, tugra in red (see plate); signatures of el-Hacc ‘Osman are found on the back of the paper, two of which are in the form of ‘tailed signatures’ (kuyruklu imza), a crumbled red wax seal is found in the upper margin. (According to a pencil note, the document originally belonged to the Latin MS BPL 246, a collection of papers which belonged to C.H. Persoon, whose library was acquired as a donation in 1836, cf. the University Library Archive L 12; the papers were reshuffled in 1907, so probably about that time the ferman was transferred to our MS.)

It looks as if the present copy was drawn up at the end of Zi l-hicce 1015 (17-27 April 1607, cf. f. 9b: 11), but more likely the was a copyist’s mistake for ‘V’, which in the written script resemble each other, not unlike ‘c’ and ‘o’. The text is headed (2a) by the words > ‘4b *-«b> f ijl Ir» I hi (The same heading also occurs in f. lb).

Dani§mend, Kronoloji III, p. 428) and, greatly worried, asks his addressee to check whether his town house (bende-hane) had suffered any damage; he had not heard that a previous letter, sent with the kawas ‘All Qelebi, had arrived (14 lines) (see plate). f. 25b.

Cod.Or. 1171 Miscellaneous annotations The manuscript is a notebook with annotations in Warner s and Nicolaus Petri s handwriting (see on the latter the introduction to this chapter and the Index). Most pages are left blank. Turkish text fragments are found in ff. 40b (on the characteristics of certain parts of the Koran, six lines) and 41b (on the division of the Koran into parts: hissa, kism and cüz’, in the time of the tyrant Hajjaj, 4 lines), both in Petri’s hand. Bound in soft black-brown leather; white paper; 47 folios; 190x137 mm; an ex legato plate is pasted on f. 47b. Catalogue entry: CCO 2450 (V, p. 119). Cod.Or. 1175 [Kitab-i] Edvar jM An npHatf-ri copy of a treatise on music; no other copy of the work seems to exist. The title is mentioned in f. 2a:2 and in the heading preceding the text in f. lb (see plate). The treatise also has a second, but according to the preface, a first title, that of Ruh-perver (cf. lb: 13). As should be clear from the quotation below, the preface (lb-2a) is defective - a non sequitur occurs in f. lb:8 - and does not seem to mention the author’s name. The work has been attributed to the famous musicologist ‘ Abdulkadir [MeragI, al-Maraghl] (d. 839/1435) in CCO and by later scholars (cf. Ötuna’s study, p. 61), but his authorship of the treatise is unlikely. The scholar is only known from works written in Persian and although he is mentioned in f. lb:7, together with Nasruddïn Farabi (d. 339/950), it is implied by the added clauses gafere llah [lehü] and rahmat Allah ‘aleyhi, that both

494 THE WARNER COLLECTION (Or. 1175, cont.) scholars were already dead. The preface continues that ‘he’ (‘Abdulkadir ? - in that case the author probably was a pupil of the scholar - or perhaps ‘they’, referring to both aforementioned ‘masters’) wrote many works in Persian and Arabic but none in Turkish and that ‘he’ (‘they’?) wished that ‘he’ (the writer) wrote a book in Turkish on the subject (of music). He (the writer) then did so and ‘wrote this book’ which contains seven chapters (bab). The work consists of an introductory part, with author’s preface and a brief treatment of the science of music whereby the number of musical elements are compared to those found in cosmic phenomena. It includes a few stories taken from hadis (lb-4b). The introduction is followed by chapters on (1) the twelve makamat (modes of eight tones, cf. Bardakgi’s study, pp. 64-67) and their nature (4b-5b); (2) the seven avdzeha (‘voices’, modes of between five to nine tones, cf. Bardakgi’s study, pp. 68-69) and their concomitant stars (5b-6a); (3) the 24 $u‘beha (‘intervals’, modes of between two and eleven tones, cf. Bardakfi’s study, pp. 70-77) and their relation with the makams, avdzes and terkibs, illustrated by a diagrams in ff. 7 a and 7b, with digressions on the pioneering musician Rustam b. Jihanglr and the theoreticians Ibn Slna and Bayezfd BistamT (6a-9b); (4) terktbat (compositions), with a diagram in f. 9b (9b-12b); (5) vakthd (times of the day, suitable to the various types of music) (12b-13a); (6) personality characteristics (dark-complexioned, fair, Turk, French etc.) and the repertoire suitable to them (13a-b); (7) stringed instruments: the harp ((eng) and lute (‘üd) and the makams played on them, with the suitable times of day, rhythms, intonations (handling of the strings) and the metres of the verses sung - drawings, with a schematic indication of the divisions of the makams over the frettings of the two instruments are found in f. 16b (see plate; 13b-15a). A Persian poem of two beyts with the names of the makams follows the text in f. 15 (it also occurs on f. 17a) and a poem in Arabic with explanatory glosses (15b- 16a). Persian verses with calligraphic exercises in bold ta ‘Itk are written in f. 19b; notes in Latin and Arabic on the Koran and in Warner’s handwriting occur in f. 20b*. An additional müfred is found in the margin of f. 16a.

The title ‘TOc et-tevdrih’ is mentioned in a heading preceding the text in f. lb and in f. 6b:7. The work consists of a lengthy introduction, followed by chapters on the reigns of ‘Osman (9a), Orfean (15a), Murad I (30a), Bayezfd I (57a), Murad II (139b), Mehmed II (186a), Bayezfd II (269a), and Selim I (329a). Biographies of ‘ulema and shaykhs are found for the reigns of, respectively, Selim I (437b), Bayezfd II (446a), Mehmed II (468a), and Murad II (501b); these chapters are not found in the printed edition. Shorter chapters with similar biographies which are found in the printed edition (p. 429 ff.) occur for the reigns of Mehmed II (512a), Bayezfd I (516a), and Orhan (523b).

501 VARIOUS ACQUISITIONS (Or. 1183, cont.) b. Molla Rizvan el-Bagdadi, known as Meddah ‘anuni r-rüsül. Nothing is known about the author, apart from what he writes in the preface to the history. The title is found in the heading in f. 525b (see plate); the author mentions himself in f. 526a. 13. As is clear from the handwriting, which is the same as that found in (1), the copy was also made by Shahin Kandi who worked for the University Library and Golius personally in Leiden between 1656 and 1668 (cf. under (1); Juynboll Beoefenaars, pp. 167-8; and Schmidt, ‘Heyman papers’). Only one other copy of the work is known, MS Or. 276, preserved in the Bodleian Library (Ethé 2068- cf. the Auction Catalogue of 1696, No. 30, p. 11); this might have been the copy from which the present one was made. The work consists of an introduction (525b-526b), in which the author explains that he was a witness to the events that took place in his hometown from 1030 (1620-1) onwards, particularly its occupation by the 'kizüba?' (in 1033/1624) which initiated a twenty-year period of suffering under the [Safavid] ‘schismatics’. The author decided to leave town and he travelled to ‘Rüm’, "circling about like a bird without a nest" (526a: 18-9), spending his time in the company of scholars and reading histories. The history itself describes in great detail and year by year the events taking place in he Ottoman Empire prior to the accession to the throne of Sultan Murad (in 1032/1623), from the Baghdad campaign of Siileyman the Magnificent in 940/1534 onwards (526b-601b). A survey of the history of Baghdad with detailed biographies of its governors and covering the same period is found in ff. 570a- 596a. The history of the reign of Murad IV begins in f. 601b, thereby concentrating on the events related to the fate of Baghdad - the fall of the town in 1033/1624 is described in ff. 617b-622a; it includes a long kasfde in ff. 620b- 621a. It is followed by a description of the unrelenting Ottoman efforts to recapture the town during the following years, culminating in its siege and surrender to the Ottomans (700a ff.). The work ends with the death of Murad and the succession of Sultan Ibrahim (in 1049/1640) (708b-712b). A few marginal corrections, additions and indications of content in the same handwriting.

514 5. The Schultens collection The next substantial collection of Oriental manuscripts obtained by the Leiden University Library after Warner’s bequest was that of Jan Jacob Schultens (1716- 1778) He was the son of the more famous Orientalist and inventor of comparative Semitic philology, Albert Schultens (1686-1750), keeper of the Warner Legacy Cinterpres legati Wamerianï, a function created for him m 1729) and professor of Oriental Languages at Leiden University. Jan Jacob, like his father, studied theology and Oriental languages and succeeded him as professor in Leiden and interpres in, respectively, 1749 and 1750. Like his father, he was mainly interested in theology and comparative Hebrew-Arabic studies. He seems to have learned Persian from a native speaker who was a student in Leiden. He also learned Turkish as is clear from translations made for the States-General at The Hague. He never published anything on Turkish language or literature nor, indeed, did he publish anything else apart from a dissertation on the usefulness of the study of ‘Oriental dialects’ for the understanding of Hebrew. Schultens never visited the Middle East but, as is clear from letters preserved in the University Library collection BPL 245xii, had contact with people who did, among them the traveller Edward Wortley Montagu (1713-76) and the physician Patrick Russell (1727-1805). The first travelled in Egypt and beyond in the 1760s, the second was a physician in the service of the English (Levant Company) Factory at Aleppo (1750-71). Both acquired Oriental manuscripts for him. On one occasion, Montagu informed Schultens from London that he had sent 23 cases with books in Oriental languages by way of Rotterdam (letter of 2 June 1761)» another written from Venice on 5 September 1765, that he had bought manuscripts in ‘Arabia’ which he would like to show to him. A month later Montagu wrote that he had not been killed as rumour had it: "I have been at war with the Arabs and have seen more than one action, but was never injured and my vessel survived the storms of the Red Sea... I bought various manuscripts, but they cost a lot of money..." (13 October 1765, letter from Venice in French) Russell wrote to Schultens from Aleppo (on 27 February 1766) that he had bought "certain Arabic manuscripts" for him and would acquire more with the help of "an Effendee of this city". Manuscripts were costly, however, and "the wrstis, that at the sale of Books here, as often happens, some of the nch Turkish merchants interfere, who from the mere affectation of having a Library, purchase the Books at any cost which they immediately lock up and very seldom can be prevailed on to admit of copies being taken." Schultens died in 1778 and three years after his death, on 18 September 1780 and thereafter, the deceased’s private library was sold at auction (cf. Van der Aa XVII p 531) and 81 manuscripts belonging to it were acquired by the University Libraiy. These were registered in 1781 and given the press marks Or. 1222 to
515 HH Or. 1302. Many manuscripts were at some time rebound in boards covered in ochre-coloured paper with a reddish leather backing. Among them were items which had belonged to or indeed had been written or compiled by Dutch scholars and collectors of earlier generations: Golius (Cod.Or. 1280); Jacob Rhenferd (Cod.Or. 1224); his father (Cods.Or. 1246 and 1249); his father’s predecessor, Johannes Heyman, (Codices Or. 1228, 1276, 1288, 1289 - these manuscripts are characterized by Latin title pages and glosses in the scholar’s handwriting); and the pastor of the Dutch Protestant community at Izmir, Herman van der Horst (Cod.Or. 1267). Some of the manuscripts which had belonged to his father had been donated to him in 1732 by two Hungarian gentlemen of Kolozsvar (Cluj), Franciscus Tsepregi and Georgius Veresfói (Cods.Or. 1246, 1249, 1285, 1286 and 1295). One of these, Or. 1246, had belonged to a dragoman, David Rozsnyai (1641-1718), in the service of the Transylvanian Prince Michael I Apafi. The following Codices deserve special mention: Or. 1228, which is a unique collection of letters, mostly written or received by Dutch scholars; Or. 1249, which contains a rare, if not very noteworthy, treatise on religious ethics; Or. 1263, which is a rare copy, regrettably incomplete, of a mid-14th century poem on the Imam Husayn’s martyrdom; Or. 1264, a poetic miscellany which contains a rare rhymed treatise dating from the mid-15th century, on the soft's path to perfection; Or. 1267 and 1268, unique collections of private letters and legal documents, mostly concerning commercial transactions; Or. 1278(1) which contains an apparently unique copy of a history of Baghdad during the years 1620 to 1640; Or. 1286 which contains extremely rare copies of the work of the poet Zanfrof £orlu; and Or. 1302, a unique collection of letters dating of the middle of the 16th century and compiled by a certain Gmaylzade.

517 THE SCHULTENS COLLECTION (Or. 1224) Cod.Or. 1224 Lexicon Turcico-Arabico-Persico-Latinum An autograph draft of a polyglot dictionary made by N. Boot between 1659 and 1675. Use was made for it of notes kept by Levinus Warner (see on him the introduction to the second chapter). Boot - his name is also spelt as Boots - was a student from Bremen who studied at Leiden University from 1670 onwards (cf. Juynboll, Beoefenaars, p. 230) and was later, in 1673, employed by the university to assist Shahin Kandi (cf. the introduction to the first chapter and the Index) in preparing the catalogue of Oriental books and manuscripts published in Leiden in 1674 (cf. Molhuysen, Bronnen III, p. 277; Warner and his Legacy, p. 33). On the title page (la) is written: Lexicon Turcico-Arabico-Persico-Latinum, in quo multi interpretum naevi deteguntur, ac insimul monstratur Harmonia L. Goth. Slav., ut Pol. Mosc. Ungar. &c: item Hebr. ac aliarum Orientalium ac Occidentaliil, L. Graecae mod.

Belgii Ordinum Oratoris ctd Portam. Summo studio, fide ac diligentia collectum a N. Boot, Bremensi, Viro doctissimo atque Polyglotto. Coeptum anno MDCLIX, continuatum usque ad annum MDCLXXV. The original annotations were made on folded sheets of brownish paper, later bound together with new sheets of white paper, most of which have remained blank. The annotations in many scripts and languages, among which Turkish, are written in a microscopic script. In many pages the words, (place)names, (unexplained) abbreviations, and phrases form a web of jottings and scribbles. Items were, at least originally, arranged in alphabetical order, but this former order was lost through haphazard binding and often completely obscured by countless later additions. Bound in boards with leather backing; light brown and white paper; (1)+1+318+(1) folios, numbered in Western sequence; 320x210 mm, varying; the inscription Ex Bibliotheca Rhenferdiana occurs on the title page (la, Jacob Rhenferd (1654-1712) was professor of Oriental languages at Franeker University from 1682 onwards, cf. Nat, De studie van de Oostersche talen, pp. 27-9). Catalogue entry: CCO 213 (I, p. 110).
518 THE SCHULTENS COLLECTION (Or. 1224, cont., 1225) Literature: Juynboll, Beoefenaars, pp. 230-1. Cod.Or. 1225 [Kitab] Cevahir et-tevarih >*•>*■ A late 17th-century copy of a history of the early career of Köprülüzade Fazil Ahmed Pa§a (d. 1087/1676) and the military campaigns against Austria and Venice undertaken during his grand vizierate (from 1072/1661, cf. M. Tayyib Gökbilgin - R.C. Repp, ‘Köprülü’ (ii) in El 1 ) by his ‘keeper of the seal (mühürdar), Hasan Aga. The title is mentioned in the heading preceding the text in f. lb and in f. 2a: 11; the author mentions his name in f. lb: 14. The work, also known as Türth-i mühürdar, has also, rather unconvincingly, been attributed to a certain ‘Osman Dede of Erzurum by Mehmed Tahir Bey (cf. ‘OM III, p. 30) and later scholars. An explanation of the contents in Latin is written on the first flyleaf (‘...historia belli Turcici gesti adversus Hungaros et Venetos 1660- The history consists of a preface (pp. 1-2) and five parts (fast): (1) the events of the period when Ahmed Pa§a was beglerbegi (p. 2); (2) the Hungarian campaign of 1073-5/1663-4 (p. 11); (3) the preliminaries to the Crete campaign (p. 176); (4) the early part of the siege of Crete, 1077-8/1667 (p. 314 - p. 214 ); (5) the final part of the siege, 1078-80/1668-9 (p. 328 = p. 228*); and a conclusion (lidtime) on the surrender of Kandiye (Iraklion), 1080/1669 (p.357). A large part of the text is occupied by quotations from official correspondence. The history is followed (2) by an appendix in which verses in praise of Ahmed Pa§a are quoted (pp. 385-402). We find four kasides by the pasha’s boon companion (nedim), the bas-te&ireci Mezakï Süleyman Efendi (d. 1088/1677-8, cf. GOD III, pp. 512-5), who is introduced by the author in p. 385; two of these are nazires by the poet himself on the third (in fact first) one. These are followed by a note (teddre) sent by Mezakï to the author, Hasan Aga, in which he expresses his regret about being ill and bed-ridden (p. 393) and a senes of chronograms on the conquest of Kandiye by Mezakï and others. The senes is concluded (pp. 401-2) by a long chronogram in mesnevCrhyme by the copyist; his name and the year of completion appear as a (easily solvable) riddle in the last beyt. A few marginal corrections, additions (most extensive inp. 358, see plate) and indications of content.

521 THE SCHULTENS COLLECTION (Or. 1225, cont., 1228) Literature: GOW, pp. 216-7. Cod.Or. 1228 A miscellany A collection of, mostly, original official and private letters, documents and parts, in some cases a quire or more, from manuscripts in various formats and with texts in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish. On the (unnumbered) title page is written Collectio Epistolarum a Cl. Viro Jacobo Golio, Erpenio aliisque in Arabiam scriptarum, atque ad ipsos rescriptarum et aliorum MSS. Orientalium &cArabice et Turcice. Most letters in the collection are part of the Erpenius and Golius correspondence and are almost exclusively written in Arabic. Erpenius (Thomas van Erpe, 1584-1624) preceded Golius (see on him: the introduction to the first chapter) as professor of Oriental languages at Leiden University. These letters were exchanged between the two professors and their, mostly, Oriental contacts and friends. A substantial part of the letters were written by Golius’s copyists Nicolaus Petri and Shahin Kandi. Some of these papers have been edited and translated in Houtsma, ‘Correspondentie’ (see also Schmidt, ‘Heyman Papers’). The collection, more voluminous than the part represented in this manuscript, belonged to Johannes Heyman (1667-1737) who succeeded Golius to the chair of Oriental languages. Heyman also added his own papers to it, particularly an autograph (Protestant) catechism in Arabic (No. 164, with the title Kitab Dalil ila i tiqad al-Masihi, 32 folios). There are also some business letters which had belonged to the Dutch merchant Paul Maashoek (named ‘Höca Marzük’ by his correspondents, cf. No. 126). He lived in Aleppo and Acre around 1700. Heyman, who served for some years as minister to the Dutch community in Izmir (1699-1704), visited Acre in 1708 and must have made the merchant’s acquaintance. After he had returned to Holland in 1709, he or perhaps his heirs - the chaotic binding suggests unfamiliarity with the languages involved - had the Maashoek papers, together with the other items, bound in two volumes (cf. Houtsma, Correspondentie’, p. 4). Glosses in Heyman’s handwriting appear in Nos. 124-6 and 157. Another volume of the collection, deemed lost or non existent, has been recently found by me in the John Rylands University Library as MS Persian 913. (It contains the bulk of the Maashoek papers.) Some time between 1709 and 1778 the two manuscript volumes must have been sold by Heyman or his heirs. (See for further details, particularly on the letters in Arabic,
522 THE SCHULTENS COLLECTION (Or. 1228, cont.) Schmidt, ‘Heyman papers’.) The following items - numbers refer to separate units, not to folios - are written in Turkish: 1 A email piece of paper with instructions for avoiding the fires of hell and gaining admittance to the Hereafter, with a list of objects and number of times per day one should wipe them against one’s face and eyes (for another copy, see No. 157, below); approximately 140x120 mm, 6 lines, §ikeste. 5.

Literature: GOW, pp. 176-7 Cod.Or. 1246 Hümayün-name An early copy of a Turkish version of the stories of Kalila and Dimna by ‘All b. ?alih, also known as ‘All Qelebi or Vasi‘ ‘Alïsi (d. 950/1543-4). The title occurs in the top margin of f. 2a. It is preceded by a lengthy introduction with ample praise of Sultan Stileyman the Magnificent. In its preface section, the author, who does not give his name, relates the history of the story collection and explains that he translated the version entitled Anwdr-i Suhayliby Husayn Wa‘iz al-Kashifi (d. 910/1504-5). He did the work in his spare time while he was miiderris in Edime (6b-8b). The author worked on the translation for twenty years but when he offered the work to Grand Vizier Lutfï Pa§a, the latter contemptuously refused it, proclaiming that it had all been a waste of time. The sultan, however, was able to recognize the stylistic merits of the work and promoted the author to kail of Bursa (cf. Schmidt, Pure Water, p. 258). The main part of the work is divided into fourteen chapters; the first begins in f. 23a, the last, fourteenth, begins in f. 391b. A few marginal and interlinear corrections and additions. (For another copy of the work, see Cod.Or. 448, above.) Rebound in boards with leather backing; glazed cream paper; (1)+411+(1) folios; 225x133 mm and 165x66 mm; 21 lines; small ta ‘Itk of calligraphic quality; gilt borders; headings, rubrics, lines and dots in red; dots in gold in ff. 3b-4a; a magnificent headpiece in gold and blue with varicoloured floral ornaments precedes the text in f. 3b (see plate); the copy was completed by Mevlana Muslihiiddln in Istanbul shortly before Friday prayers, 25 Safer 970 (24 October 1562, in fact a Saturday); a copyist’s verse in Arabic (and in red ink) is added to the colophon in f. 410b; two identical owner’s seals occur in ff. 182b and 410b; green pages, taken, probably, from the original binding, with calligraphed pious texts in Latin and Hungarian are pasted on the inner boards; they also contain a passage in which the owner states that he bought the work (a ‘Horologium’,

The title page of an early copy of ‘AIT Qelebi’s Hümayün- name with a description in Latin of its provenance; the manuscript was donated by two Hungarian gentlemen to Albert Schultens; they in turn had bought it from the inheritors of the Transylvanian dragoman David Rozsnyai (1641-1718), who had begun to translate the work into Hungarian.
537 THE SCHULTENS COLLECTION (Or. 1246, cont.) translated into Turkish by a professor of Edime) in Istanbul for 18 Imperial Thalers; in a passage, written in Szamos-Uyvar and fiirther down the same page, the owner prays for release from prison, ‘this most dark captivity’; in ff. la-b follows the text of of a journal, written in Hungarian, with entries for various days in 1679-1680, in which he makes notes about his reading (without mentioning any title, however -1 am indebted to Prof. G. Hazai and Prof. F. Szakély for this information); in f. 2a it is explained in Latin that the manuscript once belonged to David Rosnyai (Rozsnyai David, 1641-1718, cf. Magyar Eletrajzi Lexicon, Budapest 1969). He was a dragoman in the service of the Transylvanian Prince Michael I Apafi (1632-1690, ruled 1661-82). He began to translate the work into Hungarian but had to stop because of ill health - this is reportedly stated in the adjacent pages (the aforementioned journal); the MS was finally bought from the dragoman’s inheritors by Franciscus Tsepregi and Georgius Veresfói, who in turn offered the work to Albert Schultens in gratitude; the note was drawn up in ‘Claudiopolis’ (Kolozsvar, Cluj) on 13 April 1732 (see plate).

Themes are the attributes of God (p. 6); life on earth and the way to find bliss in the Hereafter (p. 29); the usefulness of fear and the punishment of sins (p. 35); the earth as a paradise for the infidel, but a prison for the true believer (p. 43); the transitoriness of life (p. 66); the soul is like a parrot, the body like a cage (p. 74); the importance of learning from the past (p. 80); young men inevitably become old men (p. 81); the advantages of abstemiousness (p. 129); the requisites for travelling on the path to God (p. 142); and crucial prayer formulas (p. 151); the last chapter is a conclusion: the information presented in the preceding pages is quite sufficient to serve as a guide for the believer (pp. 159-170). The text is given the form of a tefsir work and consists mostly of quotations from the Koran and hadls (the Imam Gaza IT is quoted in p. 168). A few marginal corrections. Various annotations are found in p. 1 and the two flyleaves preceding it: a note in divanipartly obliterated by moist damage in which the names of ‘Abdullah Aga and Hiiseyn Pa§a occur; a verse by BakI; a note in Latin (cf. below); a note on the execution of Prince Mustafa at Eregli with date 28 §ewal 960 (7 October

Cod.Or. 1263 [Kitab-i] Maktel-i Hüseyn jü* [ M L5] An undated and incomplete copy of a long poem in mesnevi rhyme on the martyrdom of the Imam Husayn. The work is anonymous and was composed, according to an author’s colophon which occurs in full copies of the work, in the middle of the 14th century (cf. Ethé, cols. 1200-1). The full version consists of at least 3900 distichs, our copy has only 1428. Only a few copies have survived. After a few short introductory paragraphs in praise of God, Muhammad and the ‘four friends’ (garydr) (lb-3a), there follows a description of the circumstances under which the Imam was killed. The main part of the epos is divided into chapters called meelis (‘session’); we find explicit mention of these in f. 14b (the second), f. 25a (the fifth) and f. 35a (the sixth). The last line, however, tells that the ‘seventh legend (dasitan)’ ends there; ‘legend’ here probably means the same as chapter or ‘session’. (The full version contains ten ‘sessions’.) The story line is at several places interrupted by separate sections, ‘poems’ Qi'r), attributed to the various protagonists, including Husayn himself. A few marginal additions. An annotation in Hebrew script occurs in f. 56b.

The opening page of what appears to be a unique copy of a history of Baghdad between 1620 and 1640 by the poet Seybogli.
THE SCHULTENS COLLECTION (Or. 1278, cont.) concluding kaside (pp. 41-47). The author is probably identical to the poet of the same name who lived in Baghdad during the reign of Sultan Murad IV and is mentioned in GOD III, p. 319. No other copy of the work seems to have survived. In his introduction (pp. 2-4) the author states that when he was reading in a history book about the rulers of the past and the events that took place in their lands the idea occurred to him that he himself should write one on his own time and about the ‘indescribable’ events that happened in Baghdad; he hoped that following generations would read the book and remember him with afatiha. The work itself, then, describes the chaotic situation in Baghdad preceding the Safavid conquest and the struggle for power between Bekir Suba§i, ‘Ömer Aga, Mehmed Kanber Aga, Yüsuf Pa§a and, later, Hafiz Ahmed Pa§a which took place in the eariy days of the reign of Murad IV (cf. Dani$mend, Kronoloji III, pp. 326-8). Once, when the besieged town suffered from a lack of food, the author witnessed how a desperate crowd grabbed a stray cat by its throat, lit a fire in order to boil it; despite the author’s efforts to rescue the screeching animal, it was tom to pieces and devoured "with blood and skin" (pp. 12-3). Baghdad fell in 1033 (1624) to the Safavids under Safi Quli Khan and was destroyed (p. 23). The young Sultan Murad thereupon sent Commander Hafiz Ahmed Pa§a to recapture the town (pp. 23-4). He did not succeed and more campaigns were undertaken during the following years. Things became worse when the plague which decimated the populace (pp. 31-33) broke out in §a‘ban 1045 (January-February 1636). The author remembers how he wandered through the empty city later in the spring of the same year "and did not meet one single man", he only came across some orphaned children, lying about in the shadow or sitting listlessly in the sun, biting their nails or crying (p. 33). In 1048 (1638) Baghdad was finally recaptured by the Ottoman army (p. 33); during the next year Sultan ibrahim succeeded Murad IV (p. 37). The history concludes with a lengthy dissertation by the author on his relationship with God and the history of Baghdad. He tells us that he was put in the lower world in 1018 (1609-10) by the Creator and greatly suffered all his life in this abode of trouble, but nevertheless willingly resigned to the fate God had imposed upon him (pp. 37-8). In the end, however, both the town and the author were safe and in gratitude he wished to give solace to the wounded hearts of his friends by composing a final kaside on the recent fate of Baghdad (p. 40; see plate). To the text are added a few marginal and interlinear corrections and additions. The title page (p. 1) is covered by various scribblings and crude drawings. Begins (p. 2, after a besmele): 572

Catalogue of Turkish manuscripts in the Library of Leiden University and other collections in the Netherlands. Vol. I, Comprising the acquisitions of Turkish manuscripts in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Compiled by Jan Schmidt. 2000. xv, 644 pp.


This first volume of a catalogue of Turkish manuscripts in Dutch collections contains detailed descriptions of all Turkish manuscript materials that were acquired by Leiden University Library during the 17th and 18th centuries. For the greater part, they constitute the Turkish collections of four Leiden scholars. Jacobus Golius (1596- 1667) travelled in Morocco and in the 1620’s made an acquisition trip of four years to the Middle East, before he became professor of Oriental languages and mathematics in Leiden. As a result, more than two hundred Oriental manuscripts entered the Leiden library. Before that time, the Leiden collections already contained a few Turkish manuscripts. These had belonged to Josephus Justus Scaliger (1540- 1609), the most learned man of his time. A century and a half later, the Leiden collections were enriched by the purchase of the collection of Jan Jacob Schultens (1716-1778), professor of Oriental languages, and the second of the Schultens professorial dynasty, that ruled academic Orientalism in Leiden during the greater part of the 18th century. But the greatest collector of them all was Levinus Warner (1619-1665). He was a student of Golius, and eventually became the ambassador of the Dutch Republic to the Sublime Porte. He was an astute diplomat, an undefatigable scholar and a daring collector of manuscripts. He bequeathed his entire collection of more than a thousand rare manuscripts in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Hebrew and Armenian, together with a large number of important printed books, to the Leiden Library. Instantly, it made the Leiden Oriental collection famous throughout Europe. Legation Warnerianum, Warner’s Legacy, is still the name of what is today the Department of Oriental collections in Leiden University Library. In Warner’s time Istanbul had become a metropole of an empire that had just passed the pinnacle of its political power, with a display of wealth and plenty as had never been seen before in the Middle East. All the spoils, including vast libraries, of the subdued provinces, from the Yemen to the Balkans, from Tunis to Iraq, all the richness of Egypt, Syria and Arabia, had flowed to it in vast quantities. And these were now up for sale! The antiquarian book market of Istanbul in Warner’s time simply was without precedent. Numerous costly and rare manuscripts found their way to the-erudite and wealthy collectors in Istanbul, among them the many-talented Levinus Warner. In the course of time, and by his independent scholarly judgment, he succeeded in acquiring many rare and important texts, rather than the luxury items for which the average bibliophile goes. The present volume gives detailed and up-to-date descriptions of the Turkish manuscripts brought together by all four scholars mentioned, but mostly those that were collected by Levinus Warner. They reflect two centuries of Dutch interest in Turkish culture. In addition, the catalogue presents an analysis of the contents of the numerous notes written in Turkish, but found in manuscripts written in languages other than Turkish. A massive corpus of shorter and longer texts on an enormous variety of subjects is the result. More than a hundred illustrations give the reader an idea of the visual aspects of the Turkish materials. A detailed index gives this volume its final touch.
