This volume is a miscellany of which only the Divan-i Hakki survives, although the title suggests that the first item was the mesnevi written at Erzincan in 873 AH (1468-69 CE). The Divan opens with two kasideler (ff 2v-4r), then some gazeller (ff 4v-50r), mesneviler (ff 50r-56v), müfredat and rubaiyat (ff 57r-58r). This is followed by a müseddes and other poems, before another Divan appears, consisting primarily of gazeller (ff 62v-76r). At the end of this copy, there are poems alluding to various events and chronograms. This manuscript was copied in the 19th century CE.
