ACQUISITIONS OF 1980-7 (Or. 20.404, cont.)

(1) pp. 1-126 Hamfdfye a#-*»' The translation, by Kastamomli Hüseyn Sidkf, was, according to a separate preface preceding the text, a version of another translation entitled ‘Aziztye (by Mehmed Emin Fehïm Pa§a, printed five times in Istanbul from 1865/1281 onwards, cf. Özege 1444). It was abbreviated and adapted, thereby divided into 25 ‘lessons’ (ders) for the purpose of his teaching at the Military Secondary School (rü§dïye-i ‘askenye) and the Persian and Preparatory School (Farsi ve i'dadfye) at Bursa. The ‘lessons’ cover the original chapters (bab), in turn subdivided into arguments (mebhas, on subjects ranging from gusl to zevi I- erham). The work was dedicated to Sultan ‘Abdulhamfd II and completed on 10 Muharrem 1320/ 6 Ntsan (April) 1318 (1902). In the heading preceding the text (p. 2), we find also the title Kudün-i §enf tercemesi. The ‘lessons’ are followed by questions (‘examinations’, yoklama ve imtihan) in a smaller script. No other copies or printed versions seem to be documented. The work, possibly an autograph, is followed by the author’s colophon with prayers for Sultan ‘Abdulhamfd and the author’s teacher, Evliya Efendi el-Kastamonf (p. 126), and a detailed index in two columns (pp. 127-30).
