This volume contains the collected prose and poetry of Münif Mustafa Efendi (died 1156 AH/1743-44 CE), divided into two portions, each with an unvan and the first two folios marbled. The first portion contains: a collection of 39 sayings of the Prophet Muhammad صلعم, each of which has been provided with an Ottoman Turkish expansion in verse (ff 1v-4v); Zafername-yi mansur, on the victory of the Ottoman armies at Belgrade in 1152 AH (1739 CE) (ff 4v-10r); followed by a kaside on the same subject entitled Zafername-yi manzum (ff 10v-11v); and this, in turn, is followed by other kasideler, tahmisler, and chronograms (ff 11v-44r). The second portion of the collection begins on f 44v with gazeller, followed by kıt'alar (ff 55v-59r), a mektub-i manzum (ff 59r-60r), and three letters, one entitled Suret-i arz-i mülazemet. The final folio of the volume is missing. The text contains two unvans. The manuscript was likely copied in the late 18th century CE.
