Scope and Content

This volume contains the collected poetry of Sabit (Alaeddin) of Bosnia (died 1124 AH/1712-13 CE). It consists of the following sections:. ff 2v-9v : Divan-i Sabit, consisting primarily of na't and kasideler, and ending with a ramazaniye;. ff 9v-29r : This section bears the title Miraciye, but is actually an extract from Ethem ü Hüma or Ethemname, a romantic mesnevi, entitled Der vasf-i mi'raç (see Or 7192 f 141v). The ending in this copy differs from those in Or 7192 and Add MS 7928, which appear to be incomplete as the concluding verses in the text of those copies are followed by 34 ebyat in Or 7193;. ff 64r-v : A satirical kaside called Der hakk Ezdehan Şikari Kadı fermud u der Ab-i Çin Paşa, with a kıt'a in the same strain called Der hakk Şikari u Mikari as a postscript;. ff 65r-66r : Hikayet-i Amr-i Leys, a mesnevi;. ff 66r-70r : Derename-yi Haccı Fesat ve Söz-ebesi, a humourous mesnevi that is also known as the Hikayet-i Hoca Fesat;. ff 70r-73r : Destan-i Berbername (also known as Hikayet-i Berberiye), a similar work to the one above;. ff 73r-85r : Tahmisat and chronograms;. ff 85v-144v : Gazeller;. ff 145r-148r : Rubaiyat;. ff 148r-152r : Müfredat;. ff 152v-153v : Lügaziyat. On the end papers are an additional chronogram of Sabit (f 154r); a copy of a letter in verse sent by Sabit to Sakip Efendi (ff 154v-155r); and poems by Ramiz and others. The text contains 1 unvan. The manuscript was copied in the 18th century CE.
