Scope and Content

This volume contains an Ottoman Turkish translation of the Qābūṣnāmah (قابوصنامه) that is slightly abbreviated from the original work. Thus only 41 of the original 44 chapters remain in this version. There is also no translator's introduction. As the language is very much characteristic of an early period (eg. forms in -ven, -iser, etc.), it is possible that this may be the translation that was made for Süleymanşah İbn-i Mehmet Bey of the Germiyanoğlu (770-90 AH/1368-88 CE). No copies of this version are recorded. This manuscript was likely copied in the 16th or 17th century CE.
