THE TAESCHNER COLLECTION (Or. 12.429, cont.)

of the Fiitiivvetname by Yahya b. Halil (cf. Taeschner in Islamica 5, p. 325; see also under Cod.Or. 12.427(2), above), meant to compensate for the defective beginning of (3). It breaks off with the word 'pes', written in red, and clearly indicating the beginning of a main text. Literature: Franz Taeschner, ‘Futuwwa-Studien. Die Futuwwabünde inderTürkei und ihre Literatur ’, Islamica 5 (1932), pp. 323-4. (3) ff. 20b-64b [Kitab] el-Fütüwet S>üJI [<.»-<] A copy of a work on futuwwa customs and rituals by Yahya b. Halil el-Burgaz! who flourished in the 14th century. The beginning and end of the original copy are incomplete, but the missing parts were later made up for by (2) and seven lines on f. 64b, both by the copyist of (1). The work is a slightly different version of the Fiitiivvetname described under Cod.Or. 12.427(2), above. The title given here occurs in a heading preceding the text on f. 20b (where a title of another work, found in (5), below, with an additional interpretation, is added, cf. Taeschner in Islamica 4, p. 39), and in f. 21b: 1; the title ‘Futiiwetname’ is found in the last line on f 64b. The name of the author, Yahya b. Halil, occurs in f. 21b: 1. A comparison of the contents between this text and that found in Or. 12.427(2), is found in Taeschner’s Islamica 4, pp. 41-2. See for more details the description of the last-mentioned MS, above. Copious marginal additions, partly lost by trimming, mostly fetvds written by ‘Ahmed’.
