Scope and Content

This volume contains a versified history of the Ottoman Sultans up to 937 AH (1530-31 CE) by Hadidi (died 940 AH/1533-34 CE). Only six other copies of this work are known to exist. The current copy is imperfect at the end, but the missing folios have been supplied by photostats from one of the İstanbul copies. This manuscript was probably copied in the 16th century CE. On the last folio, the date 1004 AH (1595-96 CE) has been added in a later hand.
