Scope and Content

This volume contains an exposition in verse of religious beliefs and similar topics by a certain Rızai (f 2r). The author informs us that he was born in Budapest (ff 14v-15r). He had not seen his relatives who lived there for 36 years, but in 1098 AH (1686-87 CE), he was reunited with some members of his family at Tokat. While on a visit to Sıvas at this time, he wrote a work entitled Nazmü'l-ulum. He lost his son Fazlullah in the epidemic of plague at Tokat in 1094 AH (1682-83 CE). The erroneous title 'Manẕūme-i Isḥaḳ-i Zencānī' has been written on the flyleaf. This manuscript was likely copied in the 18th century CE.
