Scope and Content

This volume contains the collected poetical works of Hüdai (died 1038 AH/1628-29 CE). The poems included comprise primarily ilahiler and are not arranged according to the kafiye. The work was copied in three distinct hands: (ff 1-20) in clear vocalized nesih, probably of the early 17th century CE; (ff 21-83) also in nesih, albeit from a later part of the same century; and (f 84) fully vocalized nesih, also likely from the 17th century CE.
