Scope and Content

This volume contains an Ottoman Turkish commentary on an Arabic religious poem entitled Bad' al-amālī (بدأ الامالى), which differs in the first lines from the work of the same title by Sirāj al-Dīn al-Ūshī. The author's name appears at the end as Mustafa behcet İbn-i Mehmet Salim, and the date of the müsvedde is given as 1353 AH (1934 CE). This is the 13th copy produced of this work, and it was likely copied some time after 1934 CE.
