This volume contains the collected poetry of Tecelli, a poet who died in 1100 AH (1688-89 CE). It starts with a versified preface, followed by the Besmele, a bahariye (f 2r), various na't (ff 3r-8r) and poems in praise of various places. The gazeller then appear (ff 11v-37r) and are followed by chronograms (ff 37v-40r) and a kıt'a. There are further gazeller (ff 40r-56r) written using words which do not require diacritical pointing, followed by various dubeyitler and matali (ff 56v-57v). The date 1040 AH (1630-31 CE) that has been written in figures after the last matla is, although not a chronogram, unlikely to be the date of transcription unless we accept as correct an outlier estimation of Tecelli's death of 1069 AH (1658-59 CE) as given in SO II, p. 48. All of the verses attributed to the Tecelli who died in 1100 AH (1688-89 CE) found in various tezkereler are found in the current volume. The text contains a single unvan. The manuscript appears to have been copied in the 17th century CE.
