Scope and Content

This volume contains the poems of ᶜUrfī (died 999 AH/1590-91 CE), with a word-by-word explanation of each verse in Ottoman Turkish, followed by a connected prose translation entitled Maal-i beyt. The work begins with the Bahāriyah dar sitāyish-i Sulṭān Ḥusayn. Several of the poems have marginal translation in Ottoman Turkish in addition. There is no mention of the name of the translator. This volume was likely copied in the early 19th century and contains a note about a former owner dated 1246 AH (1830-31 CE).
