Scope and Content

A Turkish commentary on the Risāle-yi manẓūm dar muᶜammayāt, a Persian work in verse on logographs which Jāmī composed in 890 AH (1484-85 CE). In the preface, the translator Seyit Abdurrahman Eşref mentions (ff 3-4) that he undertook to write the commentary on the work (which he calls the Risale-yi sugra) at the command of İsmail Efendi, Defterdar-i hızane-yi Sultani, who told him that it was highly esteemed by Sultan [Ahmet III]. This copy is in the author's own hand and was completed in 1124 AH (1712-13 CE). It contains one unvan.
