This volume contains the Divan of Neccarzade Rıza Efendi (died 1159 AH/1746-47 CE). It is divided into three sections, each beginning with an unvan. This volume thus differs from the copy of the same text housed in the Vatican Library, which has six sections, and from the one described by Karatay, with four sections each headed by a title. The sections of this work are: kasideler and chronograms (ff 1v-32r); kasideler (ff 33v-38v); gazeller (ff 39v-81v); and kasideler and gazeller (ff 82v-109v). The text contains three unvans. This manuscript was likely copied in the 18th century CE.
