Scope and Content

A hurufi work attributed to the 15th-century poet Nesimi, but it may possibly be the work of the Bektaşi poet of the same name about whom no biographical details are known. The first four folios of the work have been restored in a more modern rık'a hand. The latter portion of the manuscript is dated 1059 AH (1649-50 CE).
