Scope and Content

This volume contains a summary of the collected sayings of Hacı Bektaş made long after his death by a member of the Bektaşi order who has not provided their name. This is followed by a short tract on the benefits to be gained by reciting certain prayers, particularly in connection with the names of certain saints, written in the same hand as the rest of the manuscript. The manuscript was likely copied in the 18th century CE.
