(11) ff. 82a-83a; 85a ‘Ibret-nüma Lu aj+c. An anonymous kastde composed after the disastrous campaign against Vienna and the death of the Grand Vizier, Kara Mustafa Pasa (in 1095/1683, cf. SO 1 IV, p. 1198). It is in the format of a series of questions posed to, and answers given by, the dead Grand Vizier. The title is found in a colophon on f. 85a. The work is preceded by an explanation in prose (82a) on the circumstances under which the poem was composed. The colophon also mentions the year 1085 (1674-5), which is impossible and should probably be read as 1175/1761-2 (the text was copied by the same scribe who wrote 8, above).
