Cod.Or. 17.099 A collection of letters An early 19th-century collection, probably incomplete. The binding is severed at several places in the manuscript, and catchwords are either omitted or do not suit the following words on ff. 10b, 33b, and elsewhere. It consists of (parts of model) letters, whose genre, and, occasionally, sender and addressee, are mentioned in (faded) red headings up to f. 68a. We find the usual genres: letters addressed by men of a lower rank to superiors (lb-2a, 2a-2b, 3b-4b, 4a-b, 5a-6a, 7b-8b, 1 la-b, 26a-27a, 27a-28b, 29a-b, 31a-b, 32a-b, 45a-46a, 46a-b, 55a-b, 55b- 56b, 56b-57a, 57a-58a, 58a-59a, 59a-60b, 60b-61b, 61b-62b, 64b-65b, 68a); those from persons of higher rank to inferiors (4b-5a, 9a-10a, 17b-18a); those exchanged between friends (lOa-b, 17a-b, 18a, 25b-26a, 30b-31a, 35a-b, 43b-44a, 45a, 48ab, 54a-55a) - a rhymed letter of friendship is found on ff. 28b-29a - letters from a son to his father (52a-53a); from a father to his son (53b-54a); from an elder to a younger brother (34b-35a); and a buyruldi-fethname (66a-67b). Quite a few letters, often in correspondence with the Porte in Istanbul, mention, or were originally sent or received by historical personalities and functionaries, among them Mahmüd Pa§a (5b, 2b-3b, 15a-16b, 44a-b, 49a-b), Davud Pa§a (18b-19a), Mehmed Pa§a (20b), el-Hacc Kasim Aga (22b-23a, 44a-b), a va/f of Mosul (7a-b, 12b-13b, 19a-20a), a miitesellim of Kirkük (7a-b, 33b-34b, 42b-43a, 49b-50b,
