Scope and Content

The current volume contains poetry in Persian by Muḥsin, as well as a poem by Bīdil (ff 273v-285v), and the Persian and Ottoman Turkish divans of the poet Gülhani Mehmet Şerif of Şehrisebz (Keş), a contemporary of Emir Nasrullah of Bukhara. Most of the poems are entitled either muhammas or muvaşşah. This copy was likely produced around 1245 AH (1829-30 CE).
