(1) ff. lb-47b Cihadndme-i Hasan Pa§a LiL j ■>! j ^ A mid 18th-century copy of a work on the military campaigns led by TiryakI Hasan Pa§a by Ca'fer Tyanl b. Hasan of Pe?uy (Pécs) (cf. ‘OM III, pp. 41-2). The title is found in a heading preceding the text on f. lb (with the title ‘veztr’ added before Hasan), and in f. 2b: 14. Only one other copy seems to be documented, which is kept in the Millet Library, Istanbul (Ali Emiri 190). The work is preceded by an introduction (lb-3a), in which the author, xhefakih Ca‘fer (2a: 1-2), praises the qualities of his native town and describes how he began to note down the raids (gaza) [into Austrian territory] undertaken from 1000 (1592) onwards, when he was ser-defterdar at the border. The work begins with a series of twenty-four sections (meelis) divided into three chapters (bab), covering the period from Hasan Pa§a’s appointment to sancakbegi of Sigetvar [Szigetvar] - where he arrived in 985 (1577, cf. f. 4a) - up to the Hungarian campaign of 1014/1605 (41a-42a). The last meelis is followed by a conclusion (hatimetü l- kitab, 42a) which contains copies of various documents and letters: a berat from Sultan Ahmed [I] in which Hasan Pa§a was appointed serdür and vdli at Budin, dated mid -Ramazan 1018 (8-17 December 1609) (42a-46a); a letter from Grand Vizier Nasüh Pa$a [in office 10120/1611-1023/1614, cf. SO 2 IV, p. 1230] to Hasan Pa§a (46a-47a); a letter from Hasan Pa§a to Nasüh Pasa; a hükm-i hiimayun carried by Dayak Mehmed Aga from Istanbul to Hasan Pa$a at Budin, dated end of Safer 1011 (9-18 August 1602). A few marginal additions, mostly indicating the contents.
