Scope and Content

A gazel begins on f 8v under the heading Divançe-yi Agah Efendi. The gazel ends on 86v and there are a few folios (87r-89v) devoted to the Rubaiyat, which is followed by poems entitled Kelam-i Biderd (ff 90r-92v). For information on the poet, please see Salim, p. 139, and G.O.D. IV, p. 213, where his name is given as Mehmet Bilal. Although no date is given, the latest one to appear in the chronograms is 1140 AH (1727-28 CE). This particular copy is likely from the 18th century.
