Scope and Content

This volume contains an amplification of the Tuhfe-i Vehbi, the well-known versified Persian-Ottoman Turkish vocabulary of Sünbülzade Vehbi Efendi (died 1224 AH/1809-10 CE) to include words beginning with the letters associated exclusively with Arabic (ص، ع، ظ، ط، ح) and giving examples of their use. This collection of glosses is divided into 20 ebvap and was compiled in 1256 AH (1840-41 CE) by Hafız Mustafa el-Tırnovi. There is an index to the various ebvap on ff 154v-155r. The manuscript is undated but was likely copied in the mid-19th century CE.
