[Mecmua] - [مجموعه]

This volume contains the following four texts:. (I) ff 1v-86v : Hikayat-i musaffa, a collection of stories about ''the wiles of women'' compiled by Vedadi. It gives the story of the daughter of Kadı Amin ed-Din by way of a preface. The text was copied in 1098 AH (1686-87 CE);. (II) ff 86v-90v : Kaminça nam kale fethine gelen donanma emridir, a copy of a letter addressed to Hasan Paşa giving the orders for the dispositions of the Ottoman forces which had led to the capture of Kamieniec Podolsky in 1083 AH (1672 CE);. (III) ff 91v-140v : Letaif-i Müniri, humorous stories, mostly of an adult (erotic?) character, by Müniri edited and retold with some embellishment by Vedadi. This Müniri appears to be Müniri-i Belgradi (died 1029 AH/1619-20 CE) as the date 1022 AH (1613-14 CE) occurs in some of the tales. The text is interspersed with verses both by Müniri and Vedadi. With the exception of the last few lines, the work is written in the same hand as the first text;. (IV) ff 141v-144r : Hasb-i hal-i asakir-i pür-melal der taraf-i kale-yi Kaminça, a poem written in 1084 AH (1673-74 CE) by a certain Hasan describing the tribulations which afflicted the Ottoman garrison at Kamieniec Podolsky, particularly the shortages of food. The entirety of the work appears to have been copied in the late 17th century CE.
