Scope and Content

This volume contains the collated poetry of Hasan Vecihi (died 1071 AH/1660-61 CE). It begins with a na't, followed by gazeller (ff 5v-25v). Additional poems by Vecihi have been added in the margins of the text. After the gazeller come further poems, including some rubaiyat followed by a nevruziye of Vecihi (f 28r) and a poem by Agah. This manuscript was likely copied in the 18th century CE.
